Cybersecurity for construction
Secure your supply chain, upskill your staff and protect your business from attack with one cyber risk management platform, across every office, site and device.
Win public sector and major contractor work with recognised certification, and keep projects moving. Your sites are secure. Your data should be too.
The construction sector is under attack
The construction sector has become a key target for cybercriminals. According to research, 75% of companies in construction, engineering, and infrastructure experienced a cyber incident in the last year.
The challenge
Construction firms are often part of complex supply chains, and tracking the security status of suppliers and partners is tricky.
At the same time, few in the industry have in-house cyber knowledge. To counter this, you need a simple, non-technical cyber solution to upskill staff, strengthen defences, and track supplier security.
This is where CyberSmart can help.
How we can help
Secure your supply chain
Get continuous monitoring of your suppliers' security measures and vulnerabilities, with a simple traffic-light system showing each one's status.
Construction projects rely on long chains of subcontractors, consultants and suppliers, and each one is a possible way in. See who's secure, who needs attention, and help partners get Cyber Essentials certified. One weak link can stop a whole project.
Protect your intellectual property and customer data
Protect your staff, intellectual property and customer data with our compliance, assurance and threat detection software.
Designs, drawings, tender documents and client contracts are valuable to competitors and criminals alike. Active Protect checks every laptop, tablet and phone, in the office or on site, and guides your team to fix risks in minutes. Your best work stays yours.
Minimise the risk of disruption
Cyber attacks pose a huge disruption risk to your business. With round-the-clock cyber risk management, you'll reduce your exposure to the most common threats.
A ransomware attack or locked-out system can stall projects, delay payments and trigger penalty clauses. Continuous monitoring, automatic patching and trained staff close the gaps attackers rely on. Fewer incidents. Fewer delays.
Close the gaps with effortless patching
Reduce vulnerabilities by keeping third-party tools like project management software up to date automatically.
Browsers, PDF readers, project management and productivity apps stay updated across Windows and Mac, without interrupting your teams. That also helps you meet the Cyber Essentials 14-day patching rule without the manual effort. Known vulnerabilities, closed automatically.
Access enhanced cyber insurance coverage
Smarter, faster, more flexible cyber insurance, with exclusive discounted premiums for Cyber Essentials-certified organisations.
Eligible businesses get £25,000 of cover included, with the option to uplift to higher limits or compare bespoke policies through our FCA-regulated broker. Financial protection if a cyber incident stops work, on top of your existing site cover.
Get accredited, fast
Get the accreditations you need to bid for government contracts, with a fast route to Cyber Essentials and Defence Cyber Certification, plus support for NIS2 and CAF.
Many public sector and major contractor tenders ask for Cyber Essentials as a minimum. Our guided portal, expert assessors and unlimited resubmissions get you certified fast. Certificate in hand, bid with confidence.
