Overview

Most attacks start with a person, a password or an email

Antivirus on its own is no longer enough. Today's attacks typically arrive by email, steal or guess passwords, or trick a member of staff into running something they should not. Good security deals with all of those routes, not just one.

We build protection in layers: modern endpoint detection and response on your devices, strong identity controls such as multi-factor authentication, filtered and monitored email, sensible Microsoft 365 security settings, and staff who know what a suspicious message looks like.

If something does get through, you need people who can act fast. We help contain incidents, recover systems and close the gap that was used, then explain clearly what happened.

FAQ

Managed Cyber Security FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most often. Anything else, just ask.

Ask us a question →

Is Equasys Cyber Essentials certified?

Yes. Equasys is Cyber Essentials Plus certified, so we apply the same controls to ourselves that we help clients put in place.

Can you help us achieve Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus?

Yes. We assess your current position against the scheme's controls, fix the gaps, help complete the questionnaire and prepare you for the Plus technical audit. Read our guide to Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Why is antivirus not enough?

Traditional antivirus looks for known bad files. Many modern attacks use stolen passwords, legitimate tools or tricks such as fake CAPTCHA pages that never drop a recognisable file. Endpoint detection and response watches for suspicious behaviour, and identity and email controls stop attacks earlier.

What happens if we are hit by a cyber attack?

Call us straight away. We will help contain the incident, protect accounts and devices, restore systems from backup where needed, and work out how the attacker got in so it can be closed.

Do you provide security awareness training for staff?

Yes. We provide practical phishing awareness training and simulated phishing campaigns, so staff learn to spot and report suspicious messages.
