Cyber security in Newmarket
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 Newmarket. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Cyber security for Newmarket businesses
Newmarket combines a major retail centre on Broadway with mid-rise office buildings, specialist medical and dental rooms, fashion head offices and professional firms along Khyber Pass Road and Carlton Gore Road. Retail and office teams often sit in the same business.
Businesses here commonly juggle two very different needs: point-of-sale and payment terminals in a shop that must never go down, and a back office running Microsoft 365, finance and design software. Medical and dental rooms hold patient records that need careful access control, encrypted devices and backups that are actually tested.
Small businesses are attacked because they are easy, not because they are interesting. Criminals send invoice-change emails, fake Microsoft sign-in pages and messages from the boss asking for gift cards, thousands at a time, and wait for someone to click. Once they have one mailbox they read it quietly, learn who pays whom and strike when the money moves.
Our technicians come to Newmarket shops, clinics and offices for setups, network work and hardware faults, and handle most day-to-day requests remotely. Store work can be planned before opening hours to avoid disrupting trade.
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.
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.
Email protection
Filtering for phishing, impersonation and malicious attachments, plus the domain records that stop others sending as you.
Threat detection
Modern protection on every computer that spots suspicious behaviour, not just known viruses, and alerts us.
Admin rights
Day-to-day accounts without admin power, so one wrong click can't install anything it likes.

Cyber security in Newmarket: questions
Can you look after both our shop and our office?
Yes. We keep the store network separate from the office network so a problem in one does not take out the other, and we look after the POS computers, receipt printers and Wi-Fi alongside your office laptops. Payment terminals stay with your bank or terminal provider, and we make sure the network they need works.
What do specialist rooms in Newmarket need to protect patient records?
Multi-factor sign-in, encrypted laptops, sensible access permissions in the practice software and a backup that is tested by restoring from it. We set those up and check them regularly, keeping within what your software vendor supports.
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.
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.
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.
