Security Strategy Shaped by Your Risk
Managed cyber security and Cyber Essentials certification for ambitious businesses across Hull, Yorkshire, and the North East.
Most Cyber Security Isn't Built for Your Business
The threats you face depend entirely on your industry, your data, and how you work, so generic protection leaves gaps where it matters and wastes money where it doesn’t. Here’s what changes when your security is shaped around your actual risk.
From One-Size-Fits-All to Built Around Your Risk
Most providers sell everyone the same stack, whether it fits or not. We assess your industry, your data, and the threats you actually face to build protection that’s proportionate and relevant.
From Uncertainty to Knowing Where You Stand
Right now you might be hoping you’re protected without ever getting a straight answer. We tell you plainly where you’re exposed, what it takes to fix it, and why it matters.
From Security That Gets in the Way to Protection That Doesn't
Heavy-handed security that frustrates people causes them to find workarounds, so the gaps reappear. We build adaptive protection that guards against everyday mistakes without slowing your team down.
From Compliance Headache to Certification Made Simple
Compliance can feel overwhelming when you don’t know where to start. We embed it into how you work and guide you through certification step by step.
Proper Protection as an Ongoing Discipline
Our job is to make sure your business is not only protected but also stays that way as threats change. We do that by planning for every stage of an attack, turning your team into an asset, and keeping your defences up to date.
Prevention, Mitigation and Recovery
We plan for all three stages of security: preventing attacks, containing the damage if something does slip through, and getting you back on your feet fast.
Your First Line of Defence
Most breaches start with a person, whether it’s a wrong click, a reused password, or a convincing email. So alongside the technology, we help your team spot threats and build safer habits.
Security and IT, Built Together
Because we can look after your wider IT too, your protection is designed into your environment from the ground up, so it feels joined up and consistent.
Defences That Evolve With the Threats
The threats facing your business won’t look the same in the future, so your security can’t stand still. We keep reviewing and adjusting your protection as new risks emerge.
Security That Stands Up to Scrutiny
Increasingly, your clients, insurers, and tender processes want proof your security is genuinely up to scratch. We make sure it is and that you can demonstrate it, so strong security becomes an asset that helps you win work.
Covered Around the Clock
Cyber attacks can strike at any time. With us, that’s not a worry you have to carry. Threats are caught and dealt with whenever they appear, so you can switch off in the evening knowing your business doesn’t have to.
We would highly recommend them.
“Nothing is too much trouble & they explain things to us in a way which has made it & makes it easy to understand.
Not only a high quality service but also friendly, very polite & reliable too. We would highly recommend Stonemere IT to another business.”
What's Included in Our Cyber Security Service
Endpoint & Device Protection
The laptops, desktops, and servers your team uses every day are a prime target, so we lock them down. That means next-generation antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) to catch threats in real time, application allowlisting so only approved software can run, and full disk encryption to protect your data if a device is lost or stolen.
Identity & Access Protection
We make accounts harder to compromise. Multi-factor authentication adds a second layer to every login, identity threat detection flags suspicious account activity early, and dark web monitoring alerts us if your credentials turn up in a known leak.
Email & Phishing Protection
We filter out spam and phishing before it reaches inboxes and put anti-spoofing measures in place, so criminals can’t impersonate your business to your clients or your own team.
Round-the-Clock Threat Monitoring
We centralise security logging across your environment and keep watch around the clock, so unusual activity is spotted and acted on quickly — day or night, weekday or weekend.
Vulnerability & Patch Management
We run regular external vulnerability scans to find weak points before they do and keep your operating systems and applications patched and up to date, so those gaps are closed quickly.
Compliance & Certification Support
We help you achieve and maintain certifications like Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO 27001, and provide the policies and documentation to back them up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cyber Essentials, and does my business need it?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification showing you have the basic controls in place to stop the most common cyber attacks. Many businesses now need it to win contracts, satisfy insurers, or meet tender requirements — and even when it isn’t required, it’s a strong baseline. We guide you through it from start to finish.
What's the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a verified self-assessment of your security controls. Cyber Essentials Plus covers the same controls but adds a hands-on technical audit to confirm they’re actually working, giving stronger assurance.
Are small and medium-sized businesses really at risk of cyber attacks?
Yes, often more than large ones. Smaller businesses tend to have weaker defences, and since most attacks are automated, criminals don’t pick targets by size. Proportionate security matters whatever your scale.
How do you decide what cyber security my business needs?
We start with your actual risk, taking into consideration your industry, your data, and the threats you genuinely face. From there we put protection in place that’s proportionate and relevant: no gaps where it matters, nothing wasted where it doesn’t.
