Cyber security for businesses in York.

Yes, we support SMEs across York and the YO1–YO32 postcode area from our North Yorkshire base, around 45 minutes away. Our York clients range from bioscience and digital firms on York Science Park to professional services in the city centre and tourism-economy businesses across the wider YO area. Services include Cyber Essentials certification, managed EDR, email security, data-loss prevention and 24/7 UK SOC monitoring, all delivered on a fixed monthly fee. We also support surrounding towns including Selby, Tadcaster, Easingwold, Pocklington and Malton, so York businesses sit within a wider regional client base.

Yes, when it's genuinely needed. Most security work — monitoring, patching, email filtering, staff training — is delivered remotely so issues are typically resolved in minutes, but we visit YO postcodes for installs, Cyber Essentials Plus audits, incident response and onboarding workshops. Being around 45 minutes from central York means a visit can usually be arranged quickly rather than waiting on a national provider's scheduling. This suits York's mix of research-led bioscience firms, tourism operators and professional services, all of which occasionally need hands-on support alongside remote monitoring.

York SMEs pay a fixed monthly fee per user for a managed bundle typically covering Cyber Essentials, endpoint protection, email security, awareness training and 24/7 monitoring — the exact cost depends on headcount and risk profile, particularly whether intellectual property protection or card-data security is a priority. Bioscience and research firms on York Science Park often add data classification and secure file-sharing controls; tourism and hospitality businesses often prioritise ransomware resilience for booking systems. We quote after a free 30-minute review, and Cyber Shield awareness training alone starts from £0.99 per user per month.

Most York SMEs we onboard are Cyber Essentials certified within 2–4 weeks, covering gap assessment, remediation, evidence gathering and submission, with a 100% first-time pass rate. For live security incidents, our 24/7 UK SOC detects and contains most issues automatically within minutes, and for confirmed incidents we engage by phone immediately with on-site support available in York the same working day. This speed matters particularly for research and bioscience SMEs where IP exfiltration risk needs a fast, decisive response, not a multi-day ticketing process.

It's designed specifically for SMEs across York's varied economy — research-led and bioscience businesses, boutique law firms, tourism and hospitality operators, and professional services firms — rather than large corporates. For research-led SMEs we focus on data classification, endpoint controls and secure supplier access to protect IP; for tourism and hospitality businesses the priority is usually ransomware resilience and card-data protection ahead of peak season. Everything is delivered on fixed monthly per-user pricing, so a small York firm gets protection scaled to its actual risk, not a one-size-fits-all enterprise package.
