Cyber Security in Exeter
Practical security for Exeter organisations that are not going to hire a security team. Most breaches affecting businesses of this size come through unremarkable routes — a phished password, an unpatched system, a supplier's compromised account — rather than anything a headline would describe as sophisticated.
Why this comes up
The problem
Security has been handled ad hoc by whoever manages IT. Nobody can say what would happen if someone's email were compromised tomorrow, or how quickly it would be noticed.
What you get
What we deliver
- Multi-factor authentication everywhere, which blocks the most common attack outright
- Patching brought onto a schedule rather than done when someone remembers
- Backups tested by restoring them, since untested backups fail when needed
- Administrative access reduced to those who genuinely need it
- Staff training on the specific things that actually target your people
- An incident plan naming who does what, written before it is needed

Cyber Security in Exeter — common questions
- What single change helps most?
- Multi-factor authentication on email and remote access. Stolen passwords are the most common route in, and MFA makes a stolen password largely useless. It is the highest-return security measure available to most organisations, and it costs very little.
- Are small businesses actually targeted?
- Most attacks are opportunistic rather than targeted — automated scanning finds whoever is exposed. Being small does not make you uninteresting to something that is not choosing. It usually means less capacity to recover, which is the real exposure.
- Are our backups sufficient?
- Only if you have restored from them recently. Backups that run successfully but cannot be restored are common, and ransomware specifically targets connected backups. A tested, isolated copy is what separates an incident from a business-ending one.
- Should we get Cyber Essentials?
- It is a sensible baseline and increasingly required to bid for public sector and larger private contracts. The controls it covers are ones you should have regardless, so certification often formalises work worth doing anyway.
- Do you work with businesses across Devon?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Exeter and the surrounding Devon area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Exeter businesses do you usually work with?
- Field service scheduling and routing for businesses covering a wide rural patch, plus professional services systems. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Professional Services, Healthcare, Retail and Environmental Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Exeter?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Plymouth, Truro, Bristol. Exeter is an urban area of roughly 130,000+, and we take on work across the wider Devon region rather than the city boundary alone.
