Cyber Security

Stopped Before It Starts

Our SOC watches your endpoints, servers, networks and cloud 24/7, and acts the moment something looks wrong.

Most Businesses Would Not Know an Attack Had Started Until It Was Too Late.

Threats move overnight

Ransomware and phishing land when nobody is watching. By morning the damage is done.

You cannot be sure

Antivirus and a spam filter are not monitoring. Most businesses cannot say for certain an attack would be caught.

It should not be left to chance

No business should put staff, clients or reputation at risk because security was treated as something for later.

Watching for Threats Is Our Job, Not Yours.

Your IT team keeps the business running. We add specialist protection on top, and work alongside them rather than replacing them.

A Security Team on Shift for You, Every Hour

Cyber security as a service means people watching your systems, not software you have to watch yourself. Here is a suspicious Microsoft 365 sign-in on a Sunday night: flagged, checked by an analyst and blocked in minutes, then explained on Monday morning.

What our clients say 1 / 4

“With our Security Operations Centre (SOC) in place, we now have complete visibility and 24/7/365 monitoring across all endpoints and our Office 365 ecosystem, ensuring threats are detected and mitigated before they can impact the business.”

Wayne Giles, IT Manager, Silva Care

“When it comes to cybersecurity, transparency is critical. That’s why we asked our IT support provider to work alongside an independent cybersecurity partner, giving us complete visibility, 24/7/365 monitoring, and proactive protection that’s hard to get from a single provider.”

Martin Vincent, CEO, 55.Financial

“Our IT support provider works alongside an independent cybersecurity partner, giving us dedicated expertise, proactive protection, and complete transparency, something we’ve never had when relying on a single provider.”

Tom Simcox, MD, Simcox Insurance Brokers

“As a virtual assistant business handling sensitive client data daily, having the right cybersecurity measures in place is essential. Shield’s approach ensures we have the right protection and gives me real peace of mind knowing our systems and clients are secure.”

Electra Savvidou, MD, Action PAs

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Most attacks start small. Without someone watching, a single click can turn into weeks of disruption.

Downtime you can't plan for

Encrypted systems stop invoicing, ordering and payroll. Recovery often takes weeks, not days.

Data you can't take back

Once client data is stolen, you have to report it. The damage to your reputation lasts far longer than the outage.

Claims that don't pay out

Insurers expect monitoring to be in place. Without it, a claim can be reduced or refused.

One Open Login, One Unwatched Weekend

Follow an attack on an exposed remote login across a single weekend, beat by beat. Then see the same weekend with Shield monitoring.

Interactive breach story Friday 22:10
Open login found
Attacker takes control
Data stolen
With Shield
Phase 1 of 4 An open login is found

A remote desktop login was left open to the internet. Automated tools find it within hours and start guessing passwords, thousands an hour. Nothing alerts you.

Remote desktop, port 3389 4,812 failed logins since 22:10 23:48 Login succeeded: reception
Phase 2 of 4 The attacker takes control

Inside, they create their own admin account, switch off antivirus and find your backups. It is the weekend, so nobody is looking.

00:20 New admin account created: svc-update
01:05 Antivirus switched off on every device
02:30 Backups deleted. Nobody alerted.
Phase 3 of 4 Data stolen, then encrypted

Client records are copied out before every file is encrypted. On Monday the ransom note threatens to publish the data, and the deadline to report the breach is already running.
