Your trusted cyber security partners

Welcome.

The case for a trusted cyber security partner

Today's business environment is full of highly disruptive cyber challenges - those you see in the headlines and worryingly those that you can't. 

As we now approach 2024 if you aren't prepared to tackle what is out there, equipped with the right tools, appropriate skills, training and expertise in today's digital climate, your business might be taking on unnecessary risks.

And if your organisation is collecting, analysing or sharing personal data, you are facing data privacy challenges that put it at risk. 
Privacy is a brand issue and you need to protect your brand.

With a heightened awareness of the impact of personal data collection and use, increased regulation and new emerging security threats, many companies are examining different ways to successfully manage personal information throughout its lifecycle. 

This means fully understanding how data moves into, around and out of your business is now of vital importance.

The perfect storm of skills shortages, difficulties in hiring suitably qualified personnel to manage cyber security projects, and the real increase in cybersecurity risks to established businesses is not forecasted to change for some time.  


Established now for over 5 years here in the heart of Wrexham and with 20 years prior experience in designing and delivery of Business Management IT and Security solutions, our team have the proven track record to help you address these gaps.

Security Foundry.
In a cloudy world, helping you see clearly your
cybersecurity needs.

No safety in numbers


Many organisations have now adopted home based and hybrid working as part of everyday working.

But we still find that many small businesses do not recognise the real cyber risks they face every day. And these risks are not expected to diminish anytime soon. 

According to IBM, upwards of 83% of UK organisations do not have sufficient in-house skill or expertise to address their own cyber security needs. 

And, according to KnowBe4, 91% of all breaches are caused by the users themselves, inadvertently clicking on links in emails that they receive everyday.

So in light of these alarming statistics, we constantly update our services to help businesses cope even better against new and evolving cyber security threats, whilst they increasingly work from home and remotely.

Now 
is the time 


The National Cyber Security Centre warned that a major attack on the UK is a case of when not if, meaning that UK organisations need to heed these warnings seriously and implement appropriate action plans. 

With the ongoing global events and cost of living crisis being top of mind for many, some businesses continue to struggle in difficult trading conditions but are also at the same time unaware that they are leaving themselves wide open with cyber, IT security and ongoing data protection risks and challenges. One bad email opened could potentially bankrupt an already stressed business.

So we can help you and backfill resources shortages you might have and provide just the right level of services you need to your management team to help you.

Our team are experts in providing what we call 'assisted services'. This is where we help implement and establish services for you to then manage yourself, or we can provide you fully managed services from day one.

Most aren't ready 


According to PWC less than 50% of all businesses had examined their defences and cyber security plans in detail.

This means most businesses have not fully scoped their cyber security needs with a specialist, or worse still have assumed that it is all being 'taken care of'.

As the world embraces 'new ways of working' with hybrid work environments, many have had disruptive cyber events to contend with at the same time because whilst culturally their working patterns and habits have changed forever, their underlying infrastructure has not.

We have helped many organisations plan for improvements to security with projects in an orderly manner, as well as rescued distressed organisations who have had highly disruptive events taking down their systems and threatening their very operations and existence.

We are 100% focused 


Most IT partners are not security focused first. Security Foundry are. It's what we do.

We work with many different types of organisations to help them to reduce and mitigate their risks.

Why Choose Us?

Initial Consultation 

An Initial Consultation is a face to face meeting to define your individual needs and uncover what Security Foundry might deliver for your organisation. 

Our services include advising and preparing your business for Cyber Essentials, protecting your customer data better, delivering appropriate tools to mitigate risk and helping to reduce your overall IT costs.

Should you wish to appoint us to formalise a strategy for your needs, we would usually employ an on-site workshop approach. This starts with the IT security ‘posture’ of your organisation, by assessing how well aligned your IT and security strategy is to your business strategy.

Our consultancy led engagements will help you protect your greatest assets; your people, your data, your systems and therefore your ongoing business. 

Data Protection, Audit & Advisory 

For deeper engagements Security Foundry with its strategic partners provide a Data Security Compliance Service which integrates with the business’ overarching cyber security strategy.

The consultancy service delivers Data Protection, ISO and financial regulatory compliance for organisations needing to achieve and maintain these standards throughout their business.

Trends and SME late adoption

The global cyber security market has now grown to be worth over £180 Billion annually worldwide  according to Fortune Business Insights.

Despite huge interruptions to businesses in recent years, organisations still need to secure their systems and data like never before, especially those who have pivoted to new ways of working - securing their mobile and home based users.

Many UK Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SME's) still have not yet fully appraised their security risk, have overlooked real risks and do not realise they themselves are now being profiled and  targeted by cyber criminals. 

This means now is the right time to assess the real and growing risks and improve security in your business.


Crime growth fuelling demand

Cybercrime is the key reason for growth in cyber security spending in all sectors. In fact according to the Cyber Resilience Centre for Wales, nearly 50% of all recorded crime in Wales is actually now connected to cybercrime.

With remote working become normalised, everyday use of powerful hand-held mobile technologies, public cloud platforms, social media, Internet of Things (IOT) and Open Wi-Fi networks, all these factors combine to pose new challenging risks and threats like never before. 

Today’s SME’s are simply not able to focus on what these risks are, as they are primarily addressing the needs of their own customers everyday.

So why not let Security Foundry help you define and scope your security needs? We can start by baselining your current risks, and build you a cost effective strategy.

What customers do we work with?

We are based in Wrexham, North Wales and work in a trusted capacity with organisations based here locally, right across the UK, overseas in Europe and as far as both the East and West Coasts of the US. 

Operating across all business sectors, our clients are mature, stable organisations that usually employ between 50 and 500 people. Please see some examples of our work here.

In our experience, 10% of IT budgets in businesses are invested in dated security products such as traditional firewall and anti-virus. Many of these technologies are simply no longer effective, and no longer being used or managed effectively.

Our objective is to always help our clients maximise their IT investments in technologies that are fit for purpose, and wherever possible repurpose those budgets for effective cyber security technology.

Role based engagements 

We recommend a cross-organisational team approach with leadership from IT, Finance, Legal, Compliance and Human Resources. We work across all these roles to be of maximum effectiveness to your organisation.

Our workshop engagements are specifically designed and structured to focus in meaningful business terms, not just in IT and technical terms. 

So whether we start off with helping you take your first steps into gaining Cyber Essentials certification as an authorised Cybersmart partner or whether we work on more advanced needs with a Security Architecture Review engagement, our objective is to provide you exactly whatever you need right now.

This means that whilst we may recommend cutting edge solutions, we always link these back to desired business outcomes.
