Cyber security in Cambridge
Most attacks on small businesses start with a convincing email or a reused password. We put the protections in place that stop those attacks, check them every month and train your staff to spot the rest.
Onsite technicians cover Cambridge. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Cyber security for Cambridge businesses
Cambridge is a Waikato town about 20 minutes southeast of Hamilton on the expressway, known for thoroughbred breeding and equestrian businesses, with a strong professional services, retail and hospitality centre and many rural service firms serving surrounding dairy farms.
Firms in town usually have fibre, but clients and staff on studs and farms around Cambridge may rely on fixed wireless or satellite, and equine and farm businesses need Wi-Fi that reaches stables, sheds and offices spread across a property. Professional practices hold client financial and property records that need solid security.
We start by finding where you stand. Then we fix the gaps in order of risk, put monitoring in place so changes are noticed, and give you a plain-English report you can hand to your insurer or a client who asks.
Cambridge visits are booked from Hamilton for installs, networks and onsite faults, and everyday support is done remotely. Rural property work is surveyed and quoted first.
What's included
Security review
We check accounts, devices, email, backups and the network against a practical checklist and show you the gaps by risk.
Threat detection
Modern protection on every computer that spots suspicious behaviour, not just known viruses, and alerts us.
Backups criminals can't reach
Copies kept separately with version history, so ransomware can't delete your way back.
Staff training
Short, regular lessons and safe practice phishing emails, so staff learn what a real attack looks like.
Multi-factor sign-in
Every Microsoft 365 and key business account protected with a second step, set up so staff aren't locked out.
Admin rights
Day-to-day accounts without admin power, so one wrong click can't install anything it likes.

Cyber security in Cambridge: questions
Can you get Wi-Fi to stables and sheds on our property near Cambridge?
Yes, using point-to-point wireless links or outdoor-rated cabling to buildings, with access points where staff need coverage. We survey the property and quote the low-voltage work in writing.
Do you come out to Cambridge or only support remotely?
Both. Technicians travel from Hamilton for planned visits and hands-on work, and most everyday issues are solved remotely.
Is security included in managed IT?
The basics are in every plan. Email security, backup and monitoring start at the Managed plan, and staff training and device policies are in Complete.
We're small. Are we really a target?
Yes. Most attacks are automated and aimed at whoever is easiest to get into. Small offices are attractive because they often lack basic protections.
What should we do first?
Turn on multi-factor sign-in for every account, check your backups can be restored and make sure computers are updating. Those three cover a large share of real-world attacks.
Do you do penetration testing?
We focus on practical protection for small and medium businesses. If you need a formal penetration test, we can arrange a specialist and fix what they find.
