Security, built in and checked.

Hardening is part of every install. For organisations that have to prove they are protected, we assess, train and help you meet the law.

Secure installation and hardening

The heart of every job. We set up each device as if someone will try to break in.

A lot of systems are set up to work and then left alone. Ours are locked down before we leave, on every job, as part of the install.

When we leave, each device has a record: what it is, where it is, which network it sits on, what version it runs and who holds its password.

  • Default accounts removed
  • Firmware current
  • Cameras on their own network
  • Remote access through an encrypted link only
  • Every port labelled and mapped

Security assessments

Fixed scope, fixed price, and a written report in plain words.

For organisations that have to show they are protected, or want to know before someone else finds out. We agree what is in scope before we start, so the price does not move.

You get a written report: what we checked, what we found, how serious each finding is, and what to fix first.

  • Scope and price agreed first
  • Premises, network and devices checked on site
  • Findings ranked by what to fix first
  • A report your board and auditors can read

Data protection compliance

CCTV footage of people is personal data. We help you meet the law that covers it.

Under the Data Protection and Privacy Act 2019, images of people your cameras record are personal data. Organisations that collect personal data register with the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO).

We help you register, decide how long footage and access logs are kept, and set who may see them.

  • PDPO registration
  • Retention periods for footage and logs
  • Who may view recordings, and how that is logged
  • Signage and notices at the site

A plain summary to help you plan, not legal advice.

Staff training and phishing simulation

Short sessions on the scams that reach your staff, then test emails to see who still clicks.

A well-locked system can still be opened by one person clicking the wrong link. We run short sessions on the scams that reach your staff, then send test emails over the following weeks.

You see how many people clicked in each round, and we follow up with the people who need it.

  • Short sessions, on site or online
  • Test emails over several rounds
  • Results by round, without naming and shaming
  • Follow-up for the people who need it

AI security

In development

Guidance and controls for the AI tools your staff already use.

We are developing this service and do not offer it yet. If it matters to your plans, tell us and we will keep you posted.

Questions about security work.

Ask us anything else on the site visit, or before it.

No. It is part of every install we do. The quote covers the installation and the hardening together.

We agree the scope before we start: which sites, which systems and which accounts. The price is fixed to that scope.

Organisations that collect personal data, which includes CCTV footage of people, register with the Personal Data Protection Office. We can help you with it. A plain summary to help you plan, not legal advice.

No. You get the results for each round. What you do next is up to you, and we suggest training rather than blame.

Book a site visit.

We walk the site, then send a written design and quote.
