What IT Security Services Does Your Business Need?
Effective business cybersecurity requires more than antivirus software or a firewall. Organisations need multiple layers of protection covering their people, devices, identities, networks and critical data. At Impact IT Solutions, we help businesses build a practical security strategy around six key areas.
Cyber Security
Cyberattacks can compromise confidential information, disrupt operations and damage customer confidence.
Our cybersecurity services help businesses reduce exposure to ransomware, phishing, malware, unauthorised access and other threats.
Advanced antivirus & phishing protection, endpoint security, ransomware protection, threat detection and mitigation, Cyber Essentials and CE+ support
Data Protection & Backup
What would happen if your business lost access to its files, emails or critical systems tomorrow?
A reliable backup and recovery strategy helps organisations recover from accidental deletion, hardware failure, cyber incidents and other disruptions.
Microsoft 365 backup, business data protection, automated and encrypted backups, disaster recovery planning, backup monitoring & recovery support, business continuity considerations
Network Penetration Testing
Penetration testing evaluates whether vulnerabilities in your IT environment could be exploited by an attacker.
Our network penetration testing services help businesses identify and prioritise security weaknesses through:
External & internal network testing, vulnerability identification, security configuration assessments, risk-based remediation recommendations, actionable technical and management reporting
Dark Web Monitoring
Stolen passwords and compromised business credentials can create opportunities for account takeover, fraud and unauthorised access. Our Dark Web ID services help organisations identify exposed credentials and understand what action to take. Check for exposed business email addresses & credentials, identify known credential-related risks, understand potential account compromise, strengthen authentication and account security, monitor for newly identified exposures
EDR & Managed SOC
Traditional antivirus is only one part of modern cybersecurity.
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) helps identify suspicious activity across devices, while a Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) provides continuous monitoring and security expertise.
24/7/365 threat monitoring, next-generation antivirus, behaviour-based threat detection, endpoint isolation and response capabilities, security alerts and investigation, expert-led threat monitoring
Cyber Security Awareness Training
Technology alone cannot eliminate cyber risk.
Employees make decisions every day that affect business security, from handling suspicious emails to protecting passwords and sensitive information.
Training is an important part of a wider security strategy, particularly for organisations handling sensitive information or working towards security certifications.
Help employees recognise common threats, understand security responsibilities and develop safer working habits.
Data Protection & Backup: Be ready for the unexpected
In the face of cyber incidents, hardware failures or natural disasters, data protection is critical. We provide industry-leading backup and recovery solutions to ensure that your business can quickly recover from any disruption, minimising downtime and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. From Microsoft 365 backups to automated encrypted solutions, we’ve got you covered.

FAQs
What is the difference between IT security and cybersecurity?
IT security covers the protection of an organisation’s technology systems, infrastructure, devices and information. Cybersecurity focuses particularly on protecting digital systems, networks, accounts and data against cyber threats. The two overlap significantly and should form part of a coordinated security strategy.
What cybersecurity services does a small business need?
Most small businesses should start with multi-factor authentication, secure device management, software updates, appropriate endpoint protection, reliable backups and employee awareness training. Additional monitoring, testing and compliance support will depend on the organisation’s risks and requirements.
What is the difference between EDR and a Managed SOC?
How often should a business conduct penetration testing?
Testing frequency depends on risk, system changes, contractual requirements and applicable standards. Many organisations consider annual testing, with additional assessments following significant infrastructure changes or the introduction of critical applications.
Can cybersecurity services help with Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001?
Yes. Cybersecurity services can help organisations implement and maintain technical controls relevant to Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001. However, certification may also require defined processes, documentation, governance and independent assessment.
