Why North West Businesses Need a Regional Cyber Security Partner
The North West is the second largest cyber security cluster in the UK, with 350 cyber companies, the NCSC's North-West hub at Heron House and the National Cyber Force building its headquarters at Samlesbury. The region secured 49% of all UK external cyber security investment in 2024. That ecosystem exists because the threat is real. Nationally significant cyber incidents doubled in the year to May 2025, and Liverpool's Alder Hey Hospital was breached by a Russia-linked ransomware group in November 2024.
Across the region, over 200,000 businesses operate in Liverpool, Cheshire, Warrington and Lancashire. The Cheshire and Warrington area generates over 37 billion pounds in GVA. Liverpool City Region has 48,405 active businesses. Lancashire recorded 97,537 registered companies in 2024. Most are small firms without dedicated security teams, yet they face the same threats as larger organisations.
We operate from the Liverpool City Region with coverage from the Wirral Peninsula to Lancaster. Our local base means faster response, better understanding of your business environment and the kind of accountability that comes from operating in the same community we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a security incident?
Our monitoring systems alert us to threats in real time, and our local team gets to work on containment straight away. As a North West based team, we can arrange on-site support when it's needed.
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, without paying ransom. That's the outcome our stack is designed to deliver.
Do you work alongside our existing IT provider?
Yes, we offer 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 North West 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. We provide 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.
