Secure, resilient IT infrastructure for Metalock Engineering

Metalock Engineering provides specialised mechanical engineering and on-site industrial services across heavy industries worldwide. Its work includes precision machining, emergency repairs, casting and crankshaft services, metrology, welding and bespoke mechanical solutions.

The challenge: fragmented systems and limited recovery

Metalock’s multi-site IT environment lacked standardisation, reliable backup and effective disaster recovery. Weak cyber security also created risks around the requirements for Government contracts.

The work: private cloud, stronger protection and structured recovery

CIS designed and deployed resilient, scalable private cloud infrastructure, supported by proactive monitoring and fully managed system oversight.

We introduced enterprise-grade cyber security controls and protection layers, built a structured, automated backup and recovery framework, and standardised hardware and technology across the business’s locations.

The result: more stable IT and stronger compliance readiness

Metalock Engineering achieved Cyber Essentials Plus, strengthening its readiness for Government contract requirements. The business gained a more consistent, stable and highly available IT environment, with more predictable operations and reduced business risk.

Kerrie Smith, Finance Director, explains the impact:

“CIS have been a great partner for our business. They helped prepare us for CE requirements and improved our IT practices, strengthening our ability to secure new contracts.”
