Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a security incident?
Critical incidents get fast senior attention. Our monitoring systems alert us to threats in real time, so containment work can start without delay. Visits to Halton are arranged when something needs one.
We already have antivirus. Why do we need more?
Traditional antivirus catches known threats. Modern attacks use fileless malware, living-off-the-land techniques, and zero-day exploits that bypass signature-based detection. EDR provides behavioural analysis and automated response that antivirus simply can’t match.
What happens if we get hit by ransomware?
With our protection in place: EDR detects and isolates the attack, limiting spread. Affected systems are contained. We restore from clean backups, designed to get you back online fast, without paying ransom. That’s the outcome our stack is built to deliver.
Do you work alongside our existing IT provider?
Yes, you get co-managed security. We handle the specialist security functions while your IT team handles day-to-day support. Clear boundaries, no overlap, better protection. Many Halton businesses find this model works well.
How do you help with compliance requirements?
Our security controls map directly to Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and industry-specific requirements. You get audit-ready documentation, evidence packs for certification, and regular compliance posture reports.
What’s included in security awareness training?
Regular phishing simulations test staff vigilance. Those who click get targeted training. Quarterly awareness modules cover current threats. We track improvement over time and report to leadership on human risk reduction.
