IT Security Services for Business
Firewalls, endpoint protection, patching and access control, designed and managed so your network, devices and data stay protected.
IT security is the day-to-day discipline of keeping your systems locked down: who can sign in, what each device is allowed to do, and whether every server and laptop is patched and protected. It is rarely dramatic, but it is where most breaches are prevented.
Rapid IT carries out security surveys and audits, fixes what they uncover, and then manages your defences as part of an ongoing service. The Information Commissioner can penalise organisations that fail to protect personal data, so the aim is security you can demonstrate as well as rely on.
What is included
Security survey
A thorough examination of your premises, systems and working practices that identifies risks and vulnerabilities and recommends practical improvements.
Security audit
An assessment of whether your existing controls and procedures actually operate to the standard they were designed for, reported clearly for senior management.
Managed firewalls
Business-grade firewalls specified, installed and monitored, with rule sets reviewed regularly rather than left untouched for years.
Endpoint protection
Managed anti-malware and threat detection on every PC, laptop and server, with alerts handled by our team.
Patch management
Operating systems and applications kept up to date on a schedule, closing known weaknesses before they are exploited.
Access control
Multi-factor authentication, sensible password policy and tidy user permissions, so staff can reach what they need and nothing more.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between IT security and cyber security?
IT security is about hardening and managing your own systems. Cyber security focuses on the threats themselves: testing your defences, training staff and responding to attacks. Most businesses need both.
How often should we have a security audit?
At least once a year, and after any significant change such as an office move, a new system or a security incident.
We are a small business. Is this relevant to us?
Yes. Small firms are targeted precisely because attackers expect weaker defences. The basics, done properly, stop the majority of attacks.
