Cybersecurity
Practical security for businesses that cannot afford an incident.
Overview
Most security incidents in small and mid-sized organisations come from ordinary gaps: shared passwords, unpatched systems, open remote access, untested backups and staff who have never been shown what a phishing attempt looks like.
Markedge approaches cybersecurity as risk management: assess what you have and what would hurt most, fix the fundamentals first, monitor for the events that matter, and prepare so that an incident is a procedure rather than a crisis.
We describe controls and evidence, not guarantees. No provider can promise you will never be attacked; we can make you materially harder to compromise and faster to recover.
Benefits
Proportionate to risk
Controls prioritised by likelihood and impact for your business, not a generic checklist.
Fundamentals first
Identity, patching, backups, endpoint protection and access control before advanced tooling.
Prepared
Incident response plan, contacts and rehearsals so response is calm and documented.
What we deliver

Hardening
MFA, least privilege, patch management, endpoint protection, secure configuration and e-mail security.
Monitoring

Awareness and incident readiness
Staff briefings, phishing awareness, incident plan and periodic review.
