Start with the risk to your business
Start with the data and services your business depends on, and the disruption an incident could cause. We help you set priorities and turn security findings into work that gets done.
CYDEFENCE vulnerability management identifies and prioritises weaknesses. CYATTACK automated penetration testing assesses exploitable risks. CYVEILLANCE extended detection and response supports threat monitoring and response.
We explain what each service covers, who handles fixes and how urgent issues are escalated.
Security improvements in practice
We helped an engineering client prepare for Cyber Essentials through staged hardware, operating system and SQL Server upgrades. The client reported improved performance and fewer support tickets alongside the security improvements.

We can connect security work with managed IT or support for your internal team, alongside backup and recovery planning.

Business cyber security questions
Answers about cyber security services, Cyber Essentials and recovery planning.
Which cyber security services does CIS provide?
CIS provides vulnerability management, automated penetration testing, extended detection and response and Cyber Essentials preparation. We help you choose the work that addresses your risks, with clear responsibility for fixing findings and responding to incidents.
Where should we start with business cyber security?
Start with the systems your business cannot operate without and the information you need to protect. Review access, updates, existing security findings and what would happen if a key service failed.
CIS can help you prioritise the fixes, assign responsibility and check progress through managed IT support or co-managed support. Include a test of your backup and recovery plan.
Can CIS help us prepare for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Yes. CIS helps identify gaps, address technical issues and prepare evidence for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. We review the systems, users and services included in your assessment.
Certification requires a successful assessment against the scheme requirements. See our Cyber Essentials support for how we help and an example from an engineering client.
How can backup copies be protected from ransomware?
A backup needs protection from the same compromise that affects live systems. Review separate administrator access, multi-factor authentication, protected retention and suitable offline, isolated or immutable recovery copies.
Check monitoring and recovery procedures as well as the technology. Test that authorised staff can recover usable data when normal systems are unavailable. The NCSC’s ransomware-resistant backup principles provide a useful reference for the discussion.
