Sound familiar?
Someone in your team nearly clicked a very convincing invoice email last week. Your insurer keeps asking whether you hold Cyber Essentials. Nobody is watching your systems overnight, and if you are honest, you are not certain the backups would restore. Security feels like a gamble you have not priced.
You deserve better than crossed fingers. You want protection that is watched around the clock, explained in plain English, and backed by evidence you can show your board, your insurer and your clients. That is exactly what we do for Brighton and Sussex businesses.
The cost of getting cyber security wrong in 2026
43% of UK businesses breached
Over 612,000 UK businesses reported a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months. DSIT Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025
£3,550 average breach cost
The average cost of the most disruptive cyber breach per business, and that's before you count lost productivity and damaged reputation. DSIT 2025 Survey
85% are phishing attacks
The overwhelming majority of business cyber attacks are phishing: fraudulent emails targeting your staff. Security awareness training is your first line of defence. DSIT 2025 Survey
“These aren’t hypothetical risks. We see them in Brighton businesses every month: companies who thought their security was ‘fine’ until it wasn’t.”
Three steps to security you can prove
Step 1: Book a free security assessment
We audit your current defences: identity, email, endpoints, network and backups. You get honest answers and a clear picture of where you stand, with no sales pitch.
Step 2: Get your security roadmap
A prioritised plan designed around your business and budget: quick wins first, Cyber Essentials if it helps you win work, and costs agreed up front.
Step 3: We protect, monitor and verify
Our 24/7 security operations centre watches your systems day and night, and our work is continuously verified through Assurix, so you can prove your protection rather than take our word for it.
Everything your Brighton business needs to stay secure
Our managed cyber security protects your business around the clock. Each service below is available as part of a managed plan or standalone, delivered by our own Sussex-based team.
24/7 Security Operations Centre
Real people and AI-driven detection watching your systems around the clock. Threats are contained fast, whatever time they arrive.
Managed Cyber Security
24/7 threat monitoring, endpoint protection, firewall management, and regular security audits to defend your business.
M365 Identity Protection
Identity is the new perimeter. We harden Microsoft 365 with conditional access, phishing-resistant MFA and continuous monitoring of sign-in risk.
Cyber Essentials Certification
Expert guidance through Cyber Essentials and CE Plus. We handle the technical controls and paperwork, so certification helps you win work instead of eating your time.
Security Awareness Training
Your team is your first line of defence. Short, practical training and phishing simulations that change habits without lecturing anyone.
Business Password Manager
One secure vault for every credential, rolled out and managed for you. The single cheapest way to cut your risk overnight.
AI has changed the threat, and the defence
Attackers now use AI to write convincing phishing emails with perfect spelling, believable context and even cloned voices. The old advice of looking for bad grammar no longer protects anyone: recent UK breach data shows phishing behind the overwhelming majority of attacks on businesses, and AI is making those messages harder to spot every month.
The defence has moved on too. Our security operations centre pairs AI-driven detection, which spots unusual behaviour in seconds rather than days, with human analysts who judge what actually matters. And when you are ready to adopt tools like Microsoft Copilot, our AI consulting makes sure the productivity gains never come at the cost of new holes in your defences.

Industries we serve
Protecting Brighton businesses since 2005
Brighton and Hove is one of the UK’s most dynamic business communities, from creative agencies in the North Laine to professional services firms across the city centre, and every one of them is a target for the same phishing emails and ransomware as a FTSE company.
We have been part of this community for over 20 years, working from the Sussex Innovation Centre in Falmer. Our team provides on-site and remote cyber security services across Brighton, Hove, Portslade, Shoreham, Lewes, and the wider Sussex area. Protection covers everything from day-to-day monitoring to incident response and recovery.
Our Sussex clients include the Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce and Active Sussex, along with charities, accountancy practices and manufacturers across the county.
CUSTOMER PORTAL

CYBER SECURITY BRIGHTON
Common questions about our Brighton cyber security services
Managed cyber security is usually priced per user per month, and the figure depends on your size, your current setup and how much you want covered. Rather than a vague range, we give you a fixed quote after the free security assessment, so you know exactly what protection costs before you commit. The 100-day money-back guarantee applies from day one.
It depends on how close your current controls are to the standard. If the groundwork is in place, certification can be achieved quickly; if not, we fix the gaps first so you pass properly rather than on paper. We handle the technical controls and the paperwork either way, and CE Plus can follow once the foundations are solid.
Yes. Plenty of our security clients keep their in-house IT team or current support provider for day-to-day work while we handle monitoring, threat response and certification. We define who does what in writing, so nothing falls between two stools.
Our security operations centre contains the threat first, then we work through a tested incident response process with you: isolate affected systems, preserve evidence, restore from backups and get you trading again. If you are under attack right now and are not yet a client, call 01273 806211 and ask for emergency cyber security help.
Yes. The security operations centre watches around the clock, every day of the year, combining automated detection with human analysts. Attacks do not keep office hours, and the 3am alert matters more than the 3pm one.
Honestly, not every business does. If you bid for public sector work, hold sensitive client data, or your insurer or larger customers ask about security, it quickly pays for itself. If none of those apply, we will tell you, and focus your budget on the controls that reduce real risk instead.
If you are not happy with our service in the first 100 days, you get a full refund, no questions asked, and we will even help you transition away. It applies to our managed services, including cyber security, and it exists because we would rather prove ourselves than lock you in.
