THE DIFFERENCE MANAGED CYBER SECURITY MAKES
Strong security is what lets you say yes
For a growing business, a cyber incident is no longer a remote risk. It's one phishing email away from frozen systems and a very awkward call to your clients. The damage is rarely just technical. It's the contracts you can't win because you fail the security questionnaire, and the trust that takes years to rebuild.
Good security flips that around. When your defences are solid and your compliance is documented, you can win the regulated client and pass the infosec questionnaire that stops your competitors in their tracks. Security stops being a cost and starts being the thing that opens doors.
That's how we approach it, as a foundation for the ambition behind your business rather than a box to tick.
WHAT CYBER PROTECTION AND COMPLIANCE MEANS
What is cyber protection and compliance?
Cyber protection and compliance means running your security as a managed, ongoing service and keeping the evidence that proves you're doing it. Instead of buying a single tool and hoping it holds, you get layered defences, people watching them around the clock, and the certifications and reporting that show clients and regulators you handle their data properly.
It's a different thing from a one-off penetration test or a piece of antivirus software. A pen test tells you where you were exposed on the day it ran, and antivirus catches known threats on a single device. Both are useful, but neither watches your whole estate continuously, trains your people, responds when something gets through, or gives you the documented compliance a client asks for during onboarding. A managed service does all of that as one joined-up job.
In practice, we become your security team, or work alongside the one you already have, taking responsibility for protection, monitoring, response and the compliance evidence behind it.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Protection across every layer of your business
Cyber security isn't one product. It's a set of defences working together, backed by people who watch them around the clock and the paperwork that proves it. Here's what we put in place.
Security risk assessment
We start by finding out where you're actually exposed, then show you what good looks like for a business your size, so your budget goes on the risks that matter rather than a generic checklist.
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus support
We guide you through certification and put the controls in place to pass, so you can prove the basics are covered and meet the requirement that more and more contracts now carry. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus ourselves.
ISO 27001 support
We help you build and evidence the information security management system that ISO/IEC 27001 asks for, so you can reach the standard larger clients expect. We're certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by UKAS, so we know the process from the inside.
Endpoint and email protection
Every laptop, phone and inbox is a way into your business, so we secure them all. That includes encrypted email for sensitive information and heavily locked-down devices for handling especially sensitive data.
Monitoring and response
We watch your systems 24/7 and act on threats before they become breaches, containing most incidents before you ever hear about them, with an average response time under 30 minutes when you do need us.
Security awareness training
Your people are your strongest defence once they know what to look for. We train them to spot phishing and social engineering before they click.
Incident response
If the worst happens, you're not on your own. We contain the incident, get you back up and running, and help you come out of it stronger and better protected.
Compliance support
We help you achieve and keep the standards that matter, including Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and GDPR, and we give you the evidence to hand over when a client or regulator asks for it.
CHALLENGES WE HELP SOLVE
Common security challenges we help solve
Most businesses come to us with the same worries. A nagging sense that security isn't what clients now expect. A security questionnaire on the desk that nobody quite knows how to answer. Antivirus on the laptops and not much else behind it. Sensitive client data that has to be handled to strict rules, and no clear proof that it is.
Growth sharpens all of it. The bigger the clients you chase, the harder the infosec onboarding becomes, and the more a single incident could cost you. We bring the whole picture under one team, close the gaps that leave you exposed, and give you the documented compliance that turns security from a blocker into a reason clients choose you.
SIGNS IT IS TIME
When should you consider managed cyber security?
Most businesses don't go looking for a security partner until the risk starts to feel real or a client makes it real for them. A few signs it's time:
If that sounds familiar, moving to a managed service is usually the point where security stops being a worry and starts winning you work.
- Clients or regulators are asking harder security and compliance questions
- You've been sent an infosec onboarding questionnaire you can't confidently complete
- A contract you want requires Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001
- Your defences are mostly antivirus and hope, with no one watching around the clock
- You handle sensitive or regulated data and can't prove how it's protected
- You've had a near miss, a scare or an actual incident
- Security keeps slipping down the list because no one owns it
THE COMMERCIAL CASE
Why businesses choose managed cyber security and compliance
Investing in security is usually a commercial decision as much as a technical one. For one predictable cost, you get layered defences, round-the-clock monitoring and a team of specialists, rather than depending on a single tool or reacting once something has already gone wrong.
You also get the documented compliance that opens doors. Passing a security questionnaire, holding Cyber Essentials or reaching ISO 27001 is often what lets you bid for the regulated client and the larger contract. Set against the cost of downtime, lost deals and the fines and reputational damage a breach brings, managed security tends to pay for itself long before you need it.
When businesses move to us, it's often because their previous setup was reactive, thin on proof, or leaning on one overstretched person. We built our service to be the opposite, and getting started is more straightforward than most people expect.
WHY BUSINESSES STAY WITH US
Good security is a choice we make every day
The tools matter, but clients tell us the difference is how we work.
Our people come first, yours and ours, because security is only ever as good as the humans behind it. We treat your risk as our risk rather than a queue of tickets to clear. You'll always get a straight answer from us, even when the honest advice isn't the easiest sell or the most profitable for us. That integrity matters more in security than anywhere else, because the wrong reassurance can cost you everything. And we stay restless about improvement, closing gaps before an attacker can find them.
Get all of that right and the outcome takes care of itself. When your business is protected and still growing, we've done our job. It's also why we grow mostly through referral. Clients pass our name on because the experience earns it.
HOW IT WORKS
How our cyber protection and compliance works
Getting a grip on security sounds daunting, so we make it deliberately simple. Here's how getting started works.
1
Security review
We assess your current security and pinpoint where you're exposed, then show you what good looks like for a business like yours.
2
A clear roadmap
You get a prioritised plan matched to your risk and your compliance goals, whether that's Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 or passing a client's questionnaire.
3
Implementation
We roll out the security controls and staff training, with as little disruption to your team as possible.
4
Continuous protection
We monitor your defences and keep improving them as the threats change, because they always do, and we keep your compliance evidence current so you're always ready to be asked.
BUILT TO SCALE
Cyber security that grows with your business
One of the biggest worries when choosing a security partner is outgrowing them. We're built for the opposite. As your business changes, your protection changes with it, without starting again with someone new.
When you take on staff, we get them trained and their devices secured. When you chase bigger clients, we help you clear the tougher infosec onboarding. When a contract calls for Cyber Essentials Plus or ISO 27001, we take you there. You grow, and your security and compliance keep pace.
CLIENT STORY
How Jamie's Farm protects the children at the heart of its work
Jamie's Farm is a charity that has supported children at high risk of exclusion since 2009, now across five farms with another in the pipeline. When a 2022 staffing change left them without their informal IT lead, Head of Operations Dom Koole went to market for an expert partner who would respect a charity's budget and understand a close-knit team.
The security challenge was real. Working with vulnerable children means strict safeguarding rules around the images and data the charity holds.
We built a heavily locked-down mobile device for taking and storing images, impossible to copy data away from and fully transparent about what's on it, with a more user-friendly version now in development. We added an encrypted email system for sending sensitive information safely. And we keep cyber security on the agenda as a standing part of their forward planning, alongside an IT asset register and the rest of their roadmap.
How we help Jamie's Farm stay secure and compliant:
“Inflection Point have been brilliant at developing technological solutions to this challenge.”
- A locked-down, fully transparent device for safeguarding sensitive images
- Encrypted email for sending sensitive data
- Cyber security built into their forward planning and five-year roadmap
- An IT asset register so nothing falls through the cracks
- A helpdesk and remote support across all five sites

SECTOR EXPERIENCE
Industries we support
We support businesses across legal, fintech, construction, renewables, charities and professional services. The list matters less than the fact that each sector carries its own security pressures, and we tailor the protection and the compliance to them.
That might mean the safeguarding and data rules a charity works under, the client security questionnaires a fintech has to pass, or the case data a law firm is trusted to keep confidential. We take the time to learn how your industry works and what it's audited against, so your security fits your world rather than a generic template.
WHERE WE WORK
Supporting businesses across the UK
We're based in the South West and protect businesses right across the UK. Monitoring and most support happen remotely and around the clock, and we come to you onsite for reviews, training and hands-on work when it helps.
We're used to the demands of regulated and sensitive sectors, including legal, fintech, construction, renewables, charities and professional services, from teams of ten to companies of several hundred. Cyber security also underpins our managed IT services, and for wider projects we can bring in our cloud enablement and IT consultancy teams.
WORKING WITH YOUR TEAM
Working alongside your team
Not every business wants to hand security over completely. Many have an internal IT manager who's stretched, or who needs specialist backup for the areas security touches. We can work alongside your team rather than replace it.
We can take on monitoring and incident response so your IT lead can focus on the day job, run the certification work for Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001, deliver staff training, and bring specialist expertise when a client's questionnaire lands. Your internal knowledge stays, and ours is there to lean on. Read more about our co-managed IT services.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is cyber protection and compliance?
It's running your security as an ongoing managed service and keeping the evidence that proves you're doing it. That covers monitoring your systems for threats, protecting email and devices, training your people, responding to incidents, and achieving the standards, such as Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001, that clients and regulators expect.
How is managed cyber security different from a one-off penetration test?
A penetration test is a snapshot. It tells you where you were exposed on the day it ran, which is genuinely useful, but it doesn't watch your systems afterwards, train your staff or respond when something gets through. Managed cyber security is continuous. We monitor, maintain and improve your defences all year round and keep your compliance current.
Is antivirus enough to keep my business safe?
Antivirus is a sensible baseline, but on its own it isn't enough. It catches known threats on a single device and does nothing about phishing, email compromise, misconfigured systems or the compliance evidence clients now ask for. We put layered defences in place and watch them around the clock, so one gap can't turn into a serious incident.
What is Cyber Essentials, and how is it different from Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme that certifies you have the basic controls in place to stop the most common attacks. Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same controls but adds a hands-on technical audit by an assessor, so it offers a higher level of assurance. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus ourselves and can help you achieve either.
Can you help us achieve Cyber Essentials certification?
Yes. We put the required controls in place, guide you through the assessment and get you certified, then keep you compliant year on year as the scheme updates.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for managing information security. Certification shows you handle data to a recognised, independently audited standard, which many larger clients now expect. We're certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by UKAS and can guide you towards it.
Can you help us get ISO 27001 certified?
Yes. We help you build and evidence the information security management system the standard asks for and support you through certification, drawing on the fact that we've been through the same UKAS-certified process ourselves.
Can you help us complete infosec onboarding questionnaires?
Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons clients come to us. We put the controls in place that the questions ask about, then give you the documented evidence to answer confidently, so a security questionnaire becomes a reason you win the work rather than a blocker.
Can you help us stay compliant with GDPR?
Yes. We put the technical controls in place to keep personal data secure and give you the evidence to demonstrate compliance, so you're ready when a client or regulator asks.
What should we do if we think we've been breached?
Contact us straight away. We contain the incident, get you back up and running and help you understand what happened, then close the gap so it can't happen the same way again.
Do your own credentials matter for our compliance?
They matter a lot. We hold ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by UKAS and Cyber Essentials Plus ourselves, so the team guiding you has been through the same audits you're facing. It also means that when your clients check your supply chain, your security partner already meets the mark.
What size of business do you work with?
We mainly support organisations from around 10 to 500 staff, across sectors including legal, fintech, construction, renewables, charities and professional services.
How quickly will you respond if something goes wrong?
Our average response time is under 30 minutes, and your systems are monitored 24/7, so we often contain issues before you even report them.
Do you provide remote and onsite support?
Both. Most issues are resolved remotely in minutes, and we send an engineer onsite whenever a job needs someone in the room.
Do you provide security awareness training for staff?
Yes. We train your people to recognise phishing and social engineering, because a well-briefed team is one of the strongest defences you can have.
How does cyber security work with your managed IT service?
Security is built into our managed IT services, and this is the dedicated, deeper layer on top. You can take it as a standalone service or as part of a fully managed relationship.
How much does cyber security and compliance cost?
It depends on your size, your risk and the standards you need to meet, so we price it around your business rather than a fixed package. A short security review is the quickest way to a clear figure.
What does getting started look like?
It begins with a review of where you are now and where you want to go, exactly how our relationship with Snape Group started.
Give your ambition a secure foundation
Technology should power your ambition, not expose it. A short security review is the fastest way to see where you stand and what it would take to protect what you've built. We'll show you where you're exposed and give you a clear path to fix it, with no obligation.
