IT Security Compliance

The 2018 introduction of GDPR reminded all businesses of the importance of respecting and protecting data. With criminals targeting personal data in all forms, every business is a target and is at risk of both legal repercussions and a damaged reputation when confidential information is stolen or corrupted. At VCI Systems, we specialize in cyber security services for small businesses.

We conduct thorough security audits to ensure that your business complies with relevant legislation. We can also help you achieve the Cyber Essentials Accreditation, a government-backed scheme that protects your organization against a range of common cyber-attacks. Our team works diligently to identify vulnerabilities and implement strategies to safeguard your sensitive data, ensuring your business remains compliant and secure.

Antivirus Protection

Working predominantly with the ESET product range, we offer an array of antivirus packages covering workstations, laptops, servers, and mobile devices. Our solutions include file and operating system protection, email and browsing security, and a sandbox testing environment.

This setup assesses all unrecognized files, programs, and applications off-site, analyzing them for any malicious content before allowing them through. This high level of protection against ‘zero-day’ threats is a cornerstone of our cyber security services for small businesses.

By utilising cutting-edge technology, we ensure that your systems are protected against the latest threats, providing you with peace of mind. VCI Systems can help advise on the best solution for you and your company, tailoring our antivirus offerings to meet your specific needs.

Threat Monitoring and Reporting

Dealing with advanced threats is a significant concern for cybersecurity professionals and organizations. System downtime, disruption of business operations, and reduced productivity cost businesses millions each year. Therefore, it is crucial to address cyber attacks as quickly as possible. At VCI Systems, we conduct daily proactive checks and run regular reports to highlight any anomalies.

This allows us to fix IT issues before you even know about them, ensuring seamless cyber security services for small businesses. Our threat monitoring solutions are designed to detect and respond to suspicious activities in real time, minimizing potential damage and maintaining the integrity of your systems. By staying ahead of potential threats, we help you avoid costly disruptions and maintain a secure operational environment.

Encryption

Any device that travels beyond the secure office and network and contains or has access to sensitive data should be encrypted. Without encryption, accessing the data on a USB stick or drive is a simple plug-and-play exercise. Accessing data on a lost or stolen laptop is straightforward, and resetting passwords on a Windows device requires only basic knowledge and some specific tools.

If a lost device contains sensitive company information, a route into the network, or a list of passwords, the potential damage reaches far beyond the concerns of a lost laptop. As part of our cyber security services for small businesses, VCI Systems ensures that your data is encrypted, protecting your business from these threats.

Business Continuity Solutions

Having a detailed business continuity and recovery plan is essential for any business. VCI Systems offers tools to help you draft a comprehensive business continuity plan, ensuring threats are minimized and mitigated as much as possible. Our cyber security services for small businesses include backup solutions to protect your business and provide continuity.

Backup Solutions

At VCI Systems, we have introduced a single backup solution that covers all backup stages. Previously, we employed different tools and procedures for quick on-site access to backup data and an off-site solution for disaster recovery. Now, we offer a single appliance to manage both on-site and off-site backups, along with total business continuity. If a mission-critical server fails and cannot be restarted, our solution allows us to run a virtual copy of the failed server on the appliance hardware, getting everything up and running in minutes.

Even if you lose an entire office along with the backup appliance due to fire or theft, your data is safely replicated in cloud storage. The lost or failed server can be run virtually in the cloud, providing business continuity options in the absence of a physical office. Multiple regular backups add a greater level of protection against ransomware, ensuring comprehensive cyber security services for small businesses.

Our appliance-based solution has built-in intelligence to spot the typical behavior of a ransomware attack, allowing us to roll data back to the last good backup taken at regular intervals throughout the day. Validating each backup process is as important as running it, and we maintain that you can’t have too many backups but you can have too few. Simply putting your data in the cloud is not a reason to stop backing up. The most appropriate backup strategy in terms of medium, cost, and frequency will vary across different organizations. We are here to advise you on which solution would suit you best.

Advanced Domain Name Monitoring

One of the latest additions to the VCI Systems toolkit is our proactive Advanced Domain Name Monitoring solution. This service continuously scans your domain name to provide an informed overview of domain health and security.

Multiple checks give insight into potential vulnerabilities, including alerting us to any similar domain names registered, alerting us to any emails found in compromised data lists, allowing the creation of dummy records as an early warning system to any breach, warnings of website vulnerabilities, and more. Our advanced domain name monitoring is a crucial part of our cyber security services for small businesses, providing comprehensive protection for your online presence.
