How One Phishing Email Can Disrupt an Entire Business

Enterprise Security. Built for SMEs.
A ransomware attack. A GDPR fine. A phishing email that costs you £40k. These aren’t hypotheticals — they happen to SMEs every day. We protect your business with the full Microsoft security stack.
The average cost of a cyberattack on an SME is £8,460.
And that’s before reputational damage, lost clients, and regulatory penalties.
Security monitoring and malware protection
We exist for one reason: to give small and medium businesses the same level of protection that enterprises take for granted.
The Full Microsoft Security Stack
Six pillars of protection, all native to Microsoft. Click to explore each in detail.
Protect users, devices, and business data with advanced Microsoft 365 threat detection and security controls.
Secure Azure environments using monitoring, identity protection, compliance policies, and proactive cloud threat management solutions.
Defend laptops, desktops, and mobile devices against malware, ransomware, phishing, and unauthorized access attempts.
Control user access with multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and identity threat protection technologies.
Block phishing attacks, malicious attachments, spam, and business email compromise before threats reach employee inboxes.
Maintain regulatory compliance through data protection, retention policies, risk management, and secure governance frameworks.
This Is What Happens Without Protection
SMEs are the most targeted organisations in the UK. Not because they’re valuable — because they’re unprotected. These aren’t worst-case scenarios. They’re Tuesday.
The £47,000 Phishing Email
A finance manager receives an email that looks exactly like their CEO's. 'Urgent payment needed — deal won't close without it.' One click. Wire transfer made. Money gone.
- With email security, that email never reaches the inbox.
The Ransomware That Shut Down Tuesday
An unpatched laptop running without endpoint protection. A malicious attachment opened at 9am. By lunchtime, every file on the network is encrypted and unrecoverable.
- With endpoint protection, the attack is stopped mid-execution.
The GDPR Fine Nobody Saw Coming
A spreadsheet with 3,000 customer records shared with the wrong person. An ICO complaint filed. An investigation opened. A fine issued. A reputation damaged.
- With DLP and compliance controls, that file can't be shared externally.
Compliance Isn't a Burden. It's a Business Advantage.
GDPR fines. Cyber Essentials requirements for government contracts. Enterprise clients asking for ISO 27001 evidence before signing. For SMEs, compliance requirements are increasing — not decreasing.
The businesses that treat security and compliance proactively don’t just avoid fines. They win bigger contracts, retain clients longer, and build trust that becomes a genuine competitive advantage.
We use the Microsoft compliance toolset to make your obligations measurable, reportable, and provable — without needing a dedicated compliance team.
