Protection that works while you work
Today's attackers don't need to break in. They log in with stolen passwords, or slip past basic antivirus. We protect your devices, your logins and your data, and make sure you can always get back up and running.
Three things attackers go after
Good protection covers all three. Most small businesses only have antivirus on the first.
Your devices
Laptops, PCs, servers and phones. One infected device can spread ransomware across the whole office.
Your logins
Microsoft 365, email and banking. A stolen password lets an attacker walk straight in, no virus needed.
Your data
Client files, accounts and email. If it's locked, deleted or leaked, you need a way back.
EDR: protection on every device
Endpoint detection and response. Traditional antivirus only stops threats it already knows about. EDR watches how programs behave, so it catches new attacks too.
- Watches behaviour, not just known virusesSpots suspicious activity like files being encrypted or programs doing things they shouldn't.
- Stops attacks in progressCuts an infected device off from the network before ransomware can spread.
- Cleans up and shows what happenedRemoves the threat and records how it got in, so the gap gets closed.
- Covers every deviceLaptops, PCs, servers and phones, in the office or at home.
ITDR: protection for your logins
Identity threat detection and response. Many breaches now start with a stolen password, not a virus. ITDR watches how your accounts are used and reacts when something looks wrong.
- Spots unusual sign-insLogins from another country, at odd hours, or from two places at once.
- Catches hijacked email accountsFlags hidden forwarding rules and inbox changes used in invoice and payment fraud.
- Locks it down fastSigns the attacker out, blocks the account and resets access.
- Protects Microsoft 365 and Google WorkspaceWhere your email, files and client data live.
Why antivirus on its own isn't enough
Antivirus looks for threats it has seen before. Attackers know that, so they use new tools or simply log in with a stolen password. EDR and ITDR look for suspicious behaviour instead, which is how modern attacks are caught.
Closing the everyday gaps
Simple settings that stop a large share of attacks before EDR or ITDR are even needed.
Multi-factor sign-in
A code or app approval on top of the password, set up so it doesn't slow your team down.
Email security
Filtering for scam emails, plus settings that stop criminals sending email that looks like it came from you.
Updates and patching
Software and devices kept up to date, so known holes are closed quickly.
Right access for each person
Staff only get access to what they need, and leavers are removed straight away.
Device management
Encryption, screen locks and the ability to wipe a lost or stolen laptop or phone.
Microsoft 365 set up securely
The security settings most businesses never switch on, reviewed and switched on.
Backups you can actually restore
A backup is only useful if it works on the day you need it. We set up backups that ransomware can't touch, and we test them.
- Immutable backupsCopies that can't be changed or deleted, even by an attacker with admin access.
- Copies kept off-siteYour data stored in more than one place, so one incident can't take everything.
- Microsoft 365 backed up tooEmail, OneDrive and SharePoint. Microsoft keeps your service running, but protecting your data is your job.
- Restore testsWe regularly restore files to prove the backups work.
- Agreed recovery timesYou know how quickly each system can be back and how much data could be lost.
If something goes wrong
A clear plan means less panic and less downtime.
Contain

Why a security partner, not just IT support
Good IT support keeps your systems running. Security needs a different focus.
| General IT support | NOK security partner | |
|---|---|---|
| Main focus | Keeping email, devices and networks working | Preventing, spotting and responding to attacks |
| Device protection | Standard antivirus | EDR that stops new and unknown threats |
| Logins | Password resets when asked | ITDR that catches stolen passwords and hijacked accounts |
| Backups | Backups, if they exist | Immutable, off-site backups with regular restore tests |
| When attacked | Often has to call in outside help | Acts straight away to contain the problem |
| Compliance | Basic GDPR awareness | GDPR breach reporting and ISO 27001-aligned practice |
Technology catches a lot. Trained people catch the rest.
The best protection still relies on someone pausing before they click. Our training gives your team the confidence to spot what technology misses.
- Short, practical sessionsBuilt around real scams from your sector.
- Safe phishing practiceRealistic test emails with a quick lesson for anyone who clicks.
- Progress you can seeReports showing your team getting better at spotting attacks.
Common questions
We already have antivirus. Isn't that enough?
Antivirus only stops threats it already knows about. EDR watches for suspicious behaviour, so it catches new attacks, and ITDR covers stolen passwords, which antivirus can't see at all.
Isn't Microsoft 365 already backed up?
Microsoft keeps the service running, but it doesn't fully protect you against deleted, encrypted or overwritten data. A separate backup means you can restore emails and files to any point.
What happens if we're hit by ransomware?
EDR aims to stop it before it spreads. If data is affected, we isolate the problem, restore from clean backups and help you with any GDPR reporting.
We already have IT support. Do we need this?
Many of our clients keep their IT provider. We focus on security and are happy to work alongside your existing support.
What does a security check involve?
We look at your devices, accounts, email, backups and settings, and give you a plain-English report with clear priorities and costs. No work starts without your OK.
