Security & Compliance

Good security isn't something you bolt on after your infrastructure is built. We make it part of how your environment is designed, managed and protected — helping to reduce the risk of disruption, data loss and costly security incidents.

Security & Compliance

Security Starts With The Infrastructure

A secure environment starts with how your infrastructure is designed, configured and managed. But it doesn’t end there.

 

New vulnerabilities emerge. Systems change. Security requirements evolve. What was secure yesterday may not be secure tomorrow.

 

That’s why security is one of the five core principles of our managed cloud approach. We build appropriate protection into your infrastructure from the outset, then keep it under review as threats evolve and your business changes.

The Problem

Security Gaps Can Leave You Exposed

Our Approach

Security Built Around Your Environment

  • Outdated software and vulnerabilities can put critical systems at risk.
  • We identify security weaknesses and take action to reduce exposure.
  • Unnecessary access to critical systems increases the chance of compromise.
  • We control access through appropriate permissions and secure authentication.
  • Security threats can go unnoticed until damage has been done.
  • We monitor for threats and investigate suspicious activity where covered.
  • Meeting security and compliance requirements can feel increasingly complicated.
  • We implement appropriate technical controls to support your compliance obligations.

What Good Looks Like

Good security isn't about one tool or one setting. It's about layers of protection working together to keep your infrastructure, systems and data secure.

Control Who Has Access

Not everyone needs access to everything. We look at who needs access to your systems, what they need it for and how to keep everyone else out.

Protect Your Environment

Every environment has different weaknesses. We consider what you’re running, where you’re exposed and what protection makes sense for your business.

Find and Address Weaknesses

What was secure yesterday might not be secure tomorrow. We keep vulnerabilities under review and address weaknesses before they become bigger problems.

Spot Problems Early

Security threats don’t always announce themselves. We look for warning signs so potential issues can be investigated before they cause serious disruption.

Support Your Compliance

Meeting compliance requirements involves more than ticking boxes. We consider the technical safeguards your infrastructure needs to support your regulatory and industry obligations.

Keep Security Under Review

Security isn’t something you configure once and forget. We consider the impact of changes, emerging threats and evolving requirements to help keep your infrastructure protected.

Security Isn't an Optional Extra

Security shouldn’t be an afterthought or something considered only when there’s a problem.

It’s a fundamental part of how we approach managed cloud infrastructure.

 

From a single business-critical server to a complex cloud environment, we consider what needs protecting, where the vulnerabilities lie and how best to reduce exposure.

 

Because keeping your business running means more than simply keeping your servers online.
