Security and backup hardening

Backups you have actually restored from, multi-factor authentication everywhere, and patched machines.

How we deliver it

• We check what is backed up today, then restore it once to prove it works.
• We turn on multi-factor authentication for every account that supports it.
• We set patching and encryption across devices and servers.

How it works

Most attacks on small businesses succeed through the basics: a stolen password with no second factor, an unpatched machine, a backup nobody had ever restored. We put those basics in place and, just as important, produce the evidence that they are there, which is what insurers and auditors actually ask for.

A backup only counts once it has been restored

Backups fail silently: a job that stopped months ago, a copy encrypted by the same attack it was meant to undo. So one copy is kept where an attacker on your network cannot reach it, and backups are restored on a schedule, which is the only way to know they work.

What decides it

How long you can be down

An hour, a day, a week. The answer decides how backups are made and how fast a restore has to be, and it is different for each system.

How much you can lose

The last hour of work or the last day. That sets how often backups run, and what they cost.

Accounts

Multi-factor authentication everywhere is far easier with one place to sign in. That is single sign-on.

Devices

Patching and encryption on every laptop, with a report to show for it, comes from device management.

The questionnaire in front of you

If an insurer or a customer has sent one, it is the best starting list. We work through it question by question and close the gaps it reveals.

Hand over or run

Your choice, per solution. We hand it over with documentation your team can work from, or we keep it running: upgrades, monitoring and incidents, with one of us on call 24/7.
