Solid Security
Website security is in the spotlight more than ever, but it has always been at the forefront of our minds. We are ISO/IEC 27001 accredited, rare for a small business, but it is important to us that our clients know just how serious we are.
We offer a range of services focused on security and hosting, including audits, advice and consultation on cybersecurity, as well as hosting websites and maintaining servers. This, along with the security updates we undertake and the maintenance, bug fixing and organising of SSL certificates we provide, means our clients really can breathe a sigh of relief.
We are taking care of everything behind the scenes so that they don’t have to.
Advice and Consultation
Cybersecurity is something we take very seriously. We are ISO/IEC 27001 accredited and put the security and performance of the websites we build at the core of our business.
We offer security audits as a service, helping new clients to understand if and where the weak points in their current website lie. We also offer cybersecurity advice and consultation. This work takes a more holistic view of the risk of a cyberattack and takes into consideration a wider focus than just the website. We seek to understand all of the digital systems and plug-ins that are used as part of day-to-day businesses and analyse the security protocols and processes that support them.
Our advice is built on our expertise and experience and any consultation work we go on to undertake is delivered in a thorough and rigorous way to minimise the risk of a cybersecurity attack on the systems which underpin your business.
GDPR Advice
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became a law in the UK in 2018 and regulates how personal data of individuals within the EU is handled. It aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and to harmonize data protection laws across Europe. Following Brexit, the UK retained its own, adapted version, the UK GDPR.
The GDPR outlines several key principles, including lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality, and accountability.
Operating within the law in relation to the use of data can be a cause for concern and confusion for businesses. We are experts in the GDPR and can give advice and guidance, taking away doubt for our clients and helping them to make the right decisions.
ISO/IEC 27001
We became ISO/IEC 27001 certified several years ago. It was a massive achievement which required months of intense work to ensure that our processes and procedures comply with the certification requirements. This certification is the leading standard for Information Security and we were one of the first organisations of our size to complete the new standard.
For our clients, it means they are partnered with a tech agency with the highest standards in handling information security.
PCI Compliance
PCI compliance is set by the Data Security Standard and is a set of 12 requirements that must be adhered to, to ensure that payments made on your website are secure.
We are very focused on security, ISO accredited and experienced in helping you to meet the technical requirements. We’ll take away the headache and will work with you to ensure that your website is secure and robust and that you are taking the necessary steps in the organisation to maintain security.
Security Audits
Website security has never been more important than it is right now. Huge multinationals with millions to spend on their websites are experiencing cyberattacks, making organisations of all sizes feel vulnerable.
As web tech security experts, we offer security audits which put the potential risk of a security breach under the microscope. Our audits analyse user access, password procedures, data backup processes, regularity of updates and more.
We help you to understand if there are any weak points in your processes and procedures and how to rectify them quickly.
Server Security and Maintenance
We can take away away the headache of managing your own server. Instead, we ensure that the server remains robust in terms of security, reliability and performance. Regular patching and updates help address new vulnerabilities, while monitoring and security checks can detect suspicious activity early. Ongoing maintenance also supports performance and reliability, reducing the risk of downtime due to hardware issues, misconfigurations, or outdated software. Together, these practices help safeguard your site and users while ensuring your online presence runs smoothly.
Server Setup and Management
We have the capability within our senior tech team to setup and manage servers for you. With our ISO 27001 certification you can have assurance that your servers will be managed with the utmost care when it comes to safety and security.
TLS & HTTPS
HTTPS is the secure commutation protocol of the world wide web, using TLS encryption. TLS certificates are essential for all websites. They are cryptographically signed by a trusted third party to help your web browser verify the website you are visiting is authentic, and vital for secure communication. HTTPS allows us to send sensitive information like passwords, credit card details or personal data across a public network like the internet, safely encrypted. We will procure and renew TLS certificates for your website on your behalf so that you don’t have to think about it.
Website Hosting and Security
We offer a hosting service, providing the digital space our clients need to run their businesses and organisations. This takes the hassle away from our clients and gives them peace of mind knowing that their site is being maintained securely and includes regular updates, fixes, de-bugging and SSL certificates.
For some clients, our enhanced security service is needed, providing extra protection for their particular business. This includes things like monitoring, encryption of data, additional back ups and more.
As the security landscape evolves, it's important to us to offer the set of security measures that is best suited to the needs of each client.
