Turn cyber risks into cyber confidence
Size doesn’t matter
When it comes to the size of your business, cybercriminals don’t discriminate. 50% of small businesses suffered an attack in the last year, with the average cost of a breach around £3,400.
The challenge
Small businesses need protection just as much as enterprises.
However, few have the resources for expensive, enterprise-focused solutions or the expertise to manage their cybersecurity in-house.
This is where CyberSmart can help.
How CyberSmart can help
Gain year-round protection from cyber threats
Protect your staff, systems and customer data with our compliance, assurance and threat detection software.
Active Protect checks every laptop, desktop and phone for risks in the background, and shows your team how to fix issues in plain English, with no technical knowledge needed. You focus on running the business. We keep an eye on its security.
Get accredited, fast
Fulfil your compliance obligations and protect against the most common cyber threats, with a fast, simple route to certifications like Cyber Essentials.
Our guided portal explains every question, our expert assessors support you until you pass, and resubmissions are unlimited at no extra cost. No consultants. No jargon. Just certified.
Enforce security policy compliance
Distribute security policies across your organisation and track who has read and agreed to them.
Start from ready-made templates, so you don't have to write policies from scratch, and send them to your team in a couple of clicks. When a customer or insurer asks for your security policies, they're ready to share. Professional policies, without the paperwork.
Give your people the skills to protect your organisation
Most breaches start with human error.* Give your people the skills to protect your business with Learn Lite, our security awareness training, free with Active Protect.
Short multimedia modules with videos and quizzes cover phishing, passwords, safe browsing and more, and fit easily around a busy working day. In a small team, everyone matters. So does everyone's training.
