Cyber Defense Solutions

Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed certification required as the minimum standard for UK Government suppliers or organisations bidding for Government contracts which handle any sensitive or personal information. Compliancy also helps you to meet the security requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The two levels of certification aim to ensure that organisations of all sizes have the knowledge and understanding to implement fundamental IT Security measures. Implementing these measures will help your organisation mitigate risk, keeping your infrastructure and data secure. Holding Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus Certification demonstrates that your organisation meets necessary security standards and has implemented appropriate measures to minimise risk

Cyber Security Training

When it comes to breaching your organisation, malicious individuals will often look to exploit the human element of your organisation in an attempt to extract login credentials and gain access to the sensitive areas of your network and organisation. With this in mind, security training should not be reserved only for your IT team. Every member of your organisation should have an understanding of the threats which exist and how to effectively defend against them as malicious individuals will often look for the easiest targets to extract the information they need to initiate a successful breach. SES has partnered with a leading cyber security partner which has developed a world-class training facility to provide essential cyber and information security training for organisations. Their

Cybersecurity Consulting

Compliance with GDPR is a legal requirement for all organisations operating in the UK which collect personal information, regardless of the size, location or sector. The implications of suffering a data breach under the new regulations can be severe for organisations. Not only will they face significant fines of up to €20 million, or 4% annual global turnover, whichever is greater. Experiencing a personal data breach can also result in substantial reputational damage resulting in loss of trust and business. The implementation of some good practices will ensure your organisation meets the requirements as well as assuring customers, employees and all other data subjects that their information is being processed lawfully and stored securely.

Data Security

Digital Forensics can be used to recover valuable data. This can be especially beneficial should lost data be required as part of an ongoing cyber security investigation.

Digital Forensics

To correctly and accurately investigate a security incident (for example in situations where a breach has resulted in a civil or criminal court matter) a forensic analysis of your digital media and data may be required to determine an accurate sequence of events. Our consultants will copy, transport and store your digital data, adhering to strict ACPO Guidelines for Digital Evidence. This enables them to perform a thorough investigation without tampering with the evidence ensuring it can be presented in court. Ensuring Digital Forensics forms an integral aspect of your organisations incident response plan is essential as cyber attacks become increasingly sophisticated, yet it is reported that despite attacks making headlines on such a regular basis, just 13% of UK Businesses have imple

Incident & Breach Response

In the unfortunate event your organisation is breached, it is essential that you have a clear plan of action in order to resolve the situation quickly and effectively. SES can provide 'boots on the ground' support, co-ordinated via phone, email and in-person supported by documentation. This will help your organisation to quickly identify a suspected incident, ensure proper containment, neutralisation and eradication of any malicious software and prompt recovery of both your systems and data to bring your business back online. Our consultants' expertise also enables us to limit any operational disruptions, financial losses and reputational damage you may face, resulting from incidents such as data breaches, network compromises, insider threats and malicious software (malware).

Managed Security Services Provider

In our experience, most software Escrow services do not address the real needs of a SaaS environment or the need for continued access to business-critical applications. Secure SaaS from SES provides services that address these and other more complex SaaS and web-based, business-critical systems.

Penetration Testing

To deliver the best results, all Penetration Testing undertaken by SES’s consultants is performed manually by certified Penetration Testers who follow the same tried and tested methodologies used by both the private and public sector. SES's consultants perform Penetration Testing in the same way a malicious attacker would operate to discover the weaknesses in your security which automated tools may not be able to identify. This is essential to access the security of your business-critical applications such as booking or e-commerce websites. SES recommends performing Penetration testing every year and after each major version change or upgrade, to ensure any weaknesses are identified and can be remediated before they can be exploited. SES would also recommend performing regular Vulnerabi

Security Automation

Source code deposits can be scheduled to occur as often as the application changes (most customers choose deposits to occur on a daily frequency), providing maximum business continuity protection in the event of a release. Our systems work with all the major repositories including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Beanstalk, FogBugz, Devhub and Sourceforge amongst others. Your code is downloaded into an isolated environment to ensure there are no security issues and anti-virus can be run on each piece of code before it is stored securely in Escrow. This service works seamlessly with alongside the continued development of your application to ensure your clients have access to the most accurate version of their source code whilst also removing the burden of making manual software Escrow deposits
