* based on statistics from https://www.ncsc.govt.nz/
Here's the problem: Most small businesses think cybersecurity means buying antivirus software and hoping for the best. But modern threats target your people, and your trust, not just your computers.
Our Approach
Multi-Layered Security That Actually Works
Threat Protection: Stop attacks before they reach your business.
Advanced threat detection and response that monitors for suspicious activity 24/7. We catch malware, ransomware, and suspicious behaviour before it can damage your systems or steal your data.
What this means for you: Most threats are automatically detected and mitigated, with a 24/7 threat-hunting team that will keep an eye on your devices. You stay focused on your business while we handle the security and reduce the risk of incidents.
Identity Protection
Make sure only the right people access your business systems.
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access policies, and identity monitoring that ensure your team can work securely from anywhere while keeping unauthorised users out.
What this means for you: Your staff can access what they need, when they need it, but hackers can’t use stolen passwords to break into your systems. Even if someone’s password is compromised, your business stays protected.
Microsoft 365 Backup
Your emails, files, and data protected and recoverable.
Complete backup and recovery for all your Microsoft 365 data. If something gets deleted, corrupted, or encrypted by ransomware, we can restore it quickly.
What this means for you: Peace of mind knowing that years of emails, important documents, and customer communications can be recovered if something goes wrong. No more panic when someone accidentally deletes an important file.
Security Awareness Training
Turn your team into your strongest security defence.
Regular, practical training that helps your staff recognise phishing emails, suspicious links, and social engineering attempts. We simulate real attacks to test and improve your team’s responses.
What this means for you: Your team becomes your first line of defence instead of your biggest vulnerability. When that convincing fake invoice or urgent CEO email arrives, your staff will spot it and report it instead of clicking it.
Managed Network Protection
Secure your business network and internet connection.
Enterprise-grade firewalls, network monitoring, and Wi-Fi security that protects all your devices and data as they move through your network.
What this means for you: Everything connecting to your business network—from computers to phones to IoT devices is monitored and protected. Suspicious activity is caught and blocked before it can spread.
Why Cybersecurity Matters for Your Business
It’s Not Just About Technology
A cyber incident doesn’t just crash your computers—it stops your business. When your systems are down, you can’t process sales, access customer records, or communicate with your team. Every hour offline costs money and damages customer confidence.
Your Reputation Is on the Line
Customers trust you with their information. A data breach doesn’t just cost money it damages the trust you’ve spent years building with your customers and community.
Recovery Is More Expensive Than Prevention
The average small business cyber incident costs $100,000+ in direct costs. Add lost productivity, customer compensation, legal fees, and reputation damage, and the real cost can be devastating.
You’re Already a Target
Cybercriminals specifically target small businesses because they know you likely have fewer security measures than large corporations, but still handle valuable data and money.
