Cyber security in Te Rapa
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 Te Rapa. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Cyber security for Te Rapa businesses
Te Rapa is Hamilton's main industrial and large-format retail area, stretching along Te Rapa Road to the Waikato Expressway, with dairy processing, distribution centres, trade suppliers, vehicle dealers, engineering firms and the large shopping centre at The Base.
Sites here often combine office, workshop and yard, so networks need to reach across large buildings and outdoor areas, carry CCTV and gate systems, and keep machines off the office network. Distribution and trade businesses rely on stock and freight systems that need dependable Wi-Fi and a backup internet connection.
Good security for a ten-person office is not expensive software. It is a short list of settings applied everywhere and kept that way: multi-factor sign-in on every account, email filtering, up-to-date devices, sensible admin rights, and backups that a criminal cannot delete. Most breaches we see happen because one of those was missing or had quietly been switched off.
Technicians from our Hamilton team visit Te Rapa sites for warehouse Wi-Fi, cabling, CCTV and office IT, and handle most requests remotely. Site work is planned around operations.
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.
Multi-factor sign-in
Every Microsoft 365 and key business account protected with a second step, set up so staff aren't locked out.
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.
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.

Cyber security in Te Rapa: questions
Can you install CCTV at our Te Rapa yard?
Yes. We design and install business CCTV as low-voltage work, with cameras on their own network segment and secure remote viewing. We price each camera system in writing once we have walked the site.
How do we keep the warehouse running if the internet fails?
A second connection, usually mobile broadband, can take over automatically through a business firewall. We test the signal at your site before recommending equipment.
What happens if we are hacked?
Contact us straight away. We secure the accounts, stop the spread, preserve evidence and work with you on what to tell clients, your bank and, where required, the Privacy Commissioner.
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.
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.
