Cyber security · Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire
Cyber security services built around your business
INDIGO IT provides managed cyber security for small businesses across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire from our office in Camberley. We protect accounts, devices, email and data with multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, email filtering, protected backups and monitoring, and we prepare businesses for Cyber Essentials. We hold Cyber Essentials Plus ourselves, and security is part of your fixed monthly cost per user rather than a separate contract.
Why small businesses are targeted
Cyber security for small businesses
A compromised password, a convincing payment request or an outdated device can expose a business of any size. The consequences depend on the information and systems affected, as well as how prepared you are to respond.
Cyber security for small business starts with understanding those risks. We assess the controls you have, identify weaknesses and prioritise improvements around the way your team works.
That gives you a clearer view of what protects your business and where further attention is needed.
Defence in depth
Defence in depth: six layers that work together
Effective protection uses several controls together. Our cyber security consultancy identifies the priorities, while managed security services keep those controls maintained and monitored.
Identity and access
Multi-factor authentication adds a check beyond a password. Appropriate permissions and separate administrative access help limit what a compromised account can reach.
Devices
Supported software, security updates, encryption and endpoint protection help reduce the risks associated with laptops, desktops and mobile devices.
Filtering helps detect suspicious links, attachments and impersonation attempts. It works alongside staff awareness and clear processes for checking sensitive requests.
Backups
Backups need protection from incidents affecting your live environment. Recovery testing checks that the required data can be restored and helps inform your recovery plan.
Monitoring
We investigate warning signs such as unusual sign-ins, unexpected file activity or devices that stop reporting. Monitoring supports detection and response; it cannot guarantee every incident will be prevented.
People
Security awareness training helps people recognise suspicious requests and know how to report them. Phishing exercises give your business a practical way to identify where more guidance is needed.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification covering five technical control areas. It provides a structured starting point for addressing common threats and may be requested by clients, contracts or insurers.
We help you prepare for assessment and maintain the controls afterwards. INDIGO IT holds Cyber Essentials Plus, which adds independent technical testing to the assessment process.

Frequently asked questions
Cyber security questions we get asked most
Straight answers about protecting a small business. If yours isn't here, call us on 01491 693424.
Yes. Small businesses hold valuable information and depend on accounts and systems that need protection. We assess your existing controls and prioritise improvements around the risks to your business.
Monitoring uses information from supported devices and services to identify warning signs, such as unexpected sign-ins or suspicious file activity. We investigate those alerts and take action to address the findings.
It can help you address technical requirements in an insurer's questionnaire, including access controls, device protection and backups. Requirements vary, so we work from the questions and evidence your insurer actually requests.
No. INDIGO IT holds Cyber Essentials Plus, which is independently tested each year. We help businesses work towards ISO 27001, SOC 2 and the NIST framework when a client or contract requires it, but we do not hold those certifications ourselves.
We start by checking your systems, access and priorities, then tackle the most significant gaps first. You'll have a clear plan for the work and know when changes will happen.
Our ongoing security work is part of our managed IT service, and we also offer focused assessments. If you have an internal team or a specific concern, tell us what you need and we'll recommend the right approach.
Microsoft 365 includes security capabilities, but protection depends on configuration, licensing and ongoing management. We review access, administrative roles and recovery arrangements alongside the settings covered in our checklist.
INDIGO IT provides cyber security services to businesses in Camberley, Guildford, Woking, Farnham, Farnborough, Fleet, Aldershot, Basingstoke, Reading and Bracknell, with remote monitoring from our Camberley office and on-site work where it is needed.
Yes. Security awareness training is part of INDIGO IT's cyber security service: short online courses for your staff and occasional practice phishing emails that show where more practice would help. Email protection runs alongside it: filtering that checks every incoming message for spam, scams and dangerous attachments, warning banners on suspicious email, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your domain so that fakes sent in your name can be blocked. We provide this to businesses across Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire from Camberley.
