Cyber Security Doesn’t Have to Be Scary! – Let’s Make It Simple.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month. Yes, you’re absolutely right to take notice of the headlines. From phishing scams to ransomware, the risks are real and growing.

But while concern is sensible, fear doesn’t need to be part of the equation. What matters is having a security setup that’s robust, right for your organisation, and easy for your team to engage with.

Security should be accessible and built on getting the basics right first. The main drivers are protecting what matters most: your people, your data, and your reputation. And that’s exactly what our Managed Security Service is designed to do.

Why Should You Care?

If you’re running a small or medium-sized organisation, you’ve probably got enough on your plate already. But cyber security isn’t just for the big players. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is putting real focus on supporting SMEs this year and so are Quorum. Because, scaremongering aside, the need for protection continues to grow exponentially.

The good news is that basic security hygiene still protects against 99% of attacks. That’s why our service focusses on doing the basics brilliantly and then building on that with smart, proactive protection.

The Core 4: Simple Steps That Make a Big Difference

This year’s theme is “Stay Safe Online”, and it’s built around four everyday actions:

up to date

There are proven ways to reduce risk without breaking the bank.

What Do Quorum Do to Help?

We keep things simple, but powerful:

• 24/7 threat detection and response – because attackers don’t wait for office hours.
• Security for endpoints, identity, Office 365 and SaaS apps – to stop phishing, malware and identity theft in their tracks.
• Continuous monitoring and behaviour analysis – to spot suspicious activity before it becomes a problem.
• Regular audits and best-practice reviews – so you’re always one step ahead of compliance requirements

And we don’t just throw tech at the problem. We help your team stay sharp with phishing simulations and practical advice that sticks.
