Minimising Cyber Risk

From identifying Cyber Risk to reducing it – continuously

Whatever framework you follow and whatever assets matter most to your business, we help you understand your inherent cyber risk. We work with you to identify what needs protection, why it matters, and where your greatest exposures are. From there, we put the right controls in place to continuously reduce and manage that risk.

A single view of Cyber Risk

A risk-based approach to cyber security depends on seeing your risks clearly, but for most organisations that information is scattered across tools like EDR, VMDR, and Identity platforms. Until recently, bringing all of this into a single, meaningful view simply wasn’t possible.
Qualys Risk Operations Centre (ROC) changes that by consolidating data from multiple sources into one real-time view of your cyber risk – across assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and threats. It helps you focus on what truly matters by combining business context, threat intelligence, and exploitability, so you can reduce risk more effectively and eliminate blind spots.
With this unified visibility, your teams can act faster, and your leaders can see clear, framework-aligned metrics for reporting to executives and Boards.

Understand your assets

Cyber risk begin with a lack of asset visibility and inventory. We enable you to know every device, system, and certificate connected to your network and, when a new asset appears, quickly detect it and assess its security posture. We leverage Forescout to give you complete visibility of every connected device across IT, OT, IoT, and cloud – so you always know what’s on your network and what it’s doing. Qualys discovers and inventories your IT assets and workloads across all environments, providing the clarity you need to understand where your risks sit. Keyfactor manages certificates and keys enterprise-wide, ensuring the trust and integrity of the systems your business relies on.

Understand your vulnerabilities

Identify and remediate vulnerabilities and weak configuration management.

We help you answer critical questions like: How long does it typically take your team to patch or remediate critical vulnerabilities once they are discovered? And, do you have a single, consolidated view of configuration compliance across servers, endpoints, networks and cloud environments?

We help you make the most of your existing tools – leveraging your M365 subscription or Qualys to detect and prioritise vulnerabilities, track patch progress, and using Forescout to identify and quarantine unpatched or non-compliant devices.

Identity and access weaknesses

We help you protect privileged accounts, manage and verify both user and machine identities, and prevent unmanaged or compromised devices from authenticating. We also monitor for abnormal behavior that could indicate insider threats or stolen credentials, and identify when login details appear on the dark web or in breach databases.

We help you maximise the security of your M365 tenant, or deploy other tools such as  Qualys to validate endpoint hygiene or Forescout to enforce device and user access based on policy and posture, and Keyfactor to automate certificate lifecycle and trust for all identities. As a 24/7 service, we recommend Sophos  Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) tools to monitor and respond to potential risks.

Exposure management and proritisation

With close to 300,000 identified vulnerabilities, and more published every month, reducing cyber risk means identifying those that are a risk to your environment for first action.

We leverage Qualys TruRisk to help you answer the key question: Which vulnerabilities should you fix first, based on business impact and exploitability? This connects your vulnerability data directly to asset criticality and the potential impact on your organisation.

Unmanaged or insecure devices (IoT, OT, BYOD)

We help you risk reduce from unmanaged, insecure and unexpected devices and enable you to answer key questions like: How do you detect and control devices that connect without your IT team’s knowledge? Do you automatically segment or block high-risk IoT devices?

By leveraging Forescout, we can automatically classify and control unmanaged and agentless devices.

Detection and response capability (24/7 MDR)

We recommend that all clients have 24/7 pro-active detection and response because cyber threats never sleep so neither can your reaction.

Attacks are faster, ransomware is smarter, and breaches often happen after hours. 24/7 MDR from Sophos gives you continuous protection, linking to Microsoft 365 and ingesting telemetry from other sources like your firewalls, email filters, and endpoints.

Get real-time visibility, rapid detection, and immediate response – all while reducing risk and supporting your compliance with frameworks like the Essential Eight.

Identify cloud and hybrid environment misconfigurations

We help you reduce cloud risk by ensuring consistent security policies across multiple cloud environments and providing real-time visibility into exposed assets or misconfigurations – so important in environments where cloud resources are automatically provisioned.

We will help you with Qualys TotalCloud for continuous visibility and security for all your cloud assets, helping you identify misconfigurations, enforce policies, and reduce risk across multi-cloud environments.
