What's at stake

Licensed analysis software

Engineering software is tied to licence servers. When a licence server stops answering, the analysis stops with it.

Large files, long retention

Project files are large and have to stay intact and findable long after the project closes.

A hybrid identity

An on-premises Active Directory synchronised with Microsoft 365 that still has to satisfy Cyber Essentials Plus.

Engineers on site

Field engineers need secure access to files and applications from site.

How we help

Managed IT and helpdesk

A ticketed service desk, managed laptops and servers, patching, and joiners and leavers, run by the team that knows your estate.

Server monitoring

Monitoring of your application, file, database and licensing servers, with alerts that open tickets automatically.

Identity hardening

Conditional Access in Microsoft 365, and Windows Local Administrator Password Solution (LAPS) so each machine has its own rotating admin password.

Hypervisor builds

Hyper-V and KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) host builds and rebuilds for the servers you keep on site.

Archive storage

Project archives held on our London storage, with replication.

Cyber Essentials Plus readiness

A structured review against the five Cyber Essentials controls, then the remediation, then the evidence.

Frameworks we map to

We map our controls to Cyber Essentials Plus, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and NIST CSF 2.0, the Cybersecurity Framework of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. We will show you the mapping on request.

How we protect client data is set out on our trust page.

Selected client work

Available on a call, under NDA.

Frequently asked questions

Can you run our licence servers?

Yes. We run them as part of your estate, monitor them with your other servers and escalate to the software vendor on your behalf.

Can you take over a hybrid Active Directory estate?

Yes. We document the estate first, then change it, and every change is recorded.

Can you get us through Cyber Essentials Plus?

We run the readiness review against the five Cyber Essentials controls and carry out the remediation. The assessment itself is done by a certification body.

Tell us what isn't working

A 30-minute call, no slides. We ask about your estate, your auditor if you have one, and what you would like to stop worrying about.
