Security in context

Cyber security has to work across the whole business.

Protecting one device or platform is no longer enough. Your security needs to account for the people, systems, suppliers and data that keep the organisation running.

01

Understand what needs protecting

Start with the systems, information and services the business depends on, including the consequences if they become unavailable or compromised.

02

Connect security across the environment

Bring together protection across identities, endpoints, Microsoft 365, cloud services, networks and third-party access.

03

Make ownership clear

Define who monitors activity, who investigates alerts and who has the authority to act when a security incident occurs.

04

Keep improving

Review controls as the business changes, new risks emerge and customer, insurance or compliance requirements develop.

Security technology from trusted partners

We work with established technology partners and select the right combination of tools around each client’s environment, risks and requirements.

The challenge

Most security gaps appear between individual tools and responsibilities.

Businesses often have plenty of security products in place. The harder question is whether those products are configured properly, monitored consistently and connected to a clear response process.

01

Limited visibility

Security information sits across endpoints, identities, cloud services, networks and third-party platforms.

02

Configuration gaps

Strong platforms can still leave the business exposed when settings, permissions and controls are not reviewed.

03

Alert overload

Tools generate warnings, but somebody still needs to assess what matters and decide what action to take.

04

Unclear ownership

Internal teams, technology providers and security suppliers may each assume somebody else owns the response.

05

Changing requirements

Insurance, customer, regulatory and contractual requirements continue to raise expectations around security.

06

Untested response

Plans may exist on paper without being rehearsed against the systems and people involved in a real incident.

The Fifosys security framework

A clearer way to understand your security maturity.

Our 24-point framework groups security into four progressive tiers, with six controls in each. It helps you identify gaps, agree priorities and build a practical roadmap.

The framework gives technical teams and business leaders a shared view of the current position and the work needed next.

01

Foundation

Establish the basic controls every organisation needs to protect accounts, devices, data and access.

Controls 01 to 06
02

Visibility

Improve monitoring, centralise security information and gain a clearer view across the environment.

Controls 07 to 12
03

Response

Strengthen investigation, escalation and containment so the business can act quickly when something happens.

Controls 13 to 18
04

Resilience

Test, refine and govern the complete security approach against changing risks and business priorities.

Controls 19 to 24
Cyber security services

Protection across people, systems, data and operations.

We build the service around your existing environment, internal capabilities and risk profile. That may involve improving controls already in place, introducing missing capabilities or providing ongoing security management.

01

Managed detection and response

Continuous monitoring, investigation and response supported by security analysts who can assess suspicious activity and take action when required.

02

Endpoint, identity and Microsoft 365 security

Protection and configuration across the accounts, devices and cloud services your people use every day.

03

Vulnerability management

Regular assessment of weaknesses, supported by practical prioritisation and remediation.

04

Penetration testing

Controlled testing that examines how systems and applications respond to real attack techniques.

05

Security awareness and phishing simulation

Practical training that helps employees recognise threats, understand their responsibilities and respond confidently.

06

Incident response and planning

Clear playbooks, defined responsibilities and experienced technical support when an incident needs immediate action.

07

Compliance and security governance

Support aligning technology and operational controls with Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001 and other requirements.

Managed monitoring

Security tools are most useful when somebody is watching.

Fifosys provides continuous monitoring supported by people who can investigate alerts, understand the wider context and coordinate a response across your technology environment.

01

Detect

Monitor activity across endpoints, identities, cloud services, networks and connected systems.

02

Investigate

Review alerts in context to distinguish genuine threats from routine or low-risk activity.

03

Contain

Take agreed action to isolate affected accounts, devices or systems and reduce the potential impact.

04

Recover

Support remediation, restoration and the safe return of affected services to normal operation.

05

Improve

Use findings from alerts and incidents to strengthen controls and reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

How we work

Clear priorities before more technology.

Every organisation starts from a different position. We work through the current environment, the risks involved and the support already available before recommending the right next step.

Step 01

Understand the environment

Review your systems, users, data, suppliers, existing controls and relevant business or compliance requirements.

Step 02

Identify meaningful gaps

Use the 24-point framework to understand where exposure exists and which weaknesses need the most immediate attention.

Step 03

Agree the priorities

Build a roadmap that balances risk reduction, operational impact, internal capacity and available investment.

Step 04

Implement and manage

Introduce the agreed controls and connect them to clear monitoring, escalation and response processes.

Step 05

Review and improve

Reassess the environment as the business, threat landscape and compliance requirements change.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common cyber security questions.

A Security Operations Centre, or SOC, is the team and operational capability responsible for monitoring, investigating and responding to security threats. It brings together security technology, analysts and defined response processes.
EDR focuses on detecting and responding to activity on endpoints such as laptops and servers. MDR combines security technology with a managed team that monitors and responds. XDR extends visibility across identities, email, cloud services and networks.
Yes. We can take responsibility for defined areas of security, provide specialist support and monitoring, or work as an extension of your existing IT and security teams.
The right controls depend on your systems, data, users, risks and responsibilities. Our 24-point security framework provides a structured way to assess the current environment and prioritise improvements.
Yes. Fifosys can help assess technical gaps, implement appropriate controls, organise supporting evidence and maintain the technology foundations needed for certification and ongoing compliance.
The activity is investigated and assessed against agreed procedures. Where action is needed, the relevant accounts, devices or systems can be contained and the agreed contacts are notified.
