What your business needs to stay secure.
Antivirus and a firewall cover only part of your cybersecurity needs. Keeping your entire digital environment secure requires multiple security layers, 24/7 monitoring and specialists who respond to threats.
Security layers at a glance.
Each level builds on the previous one. Every layer requires active security management.
Level 1
The basics
Minimum security for devices and workstations.
Level 2
Standard
For businesses using Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or other SaaS apps.
Level 3
Advanced
For recovery, proof of security and stricter customer or compliance requirements.

Security layers explained.
What needs to be in place, why does it matter and what evidence should you request?
Level 1 · The basics
Endpoint Security
What should you check?
Ask for evidence, not just a yes or no.
-
Centralised device management All business devices are listed in a central inventory, with a named person responsible for each.
-
Operating system updates Security updates are installed promptly, and failed updates are followed up.
-
Software updates Business applications are updated centrally, so employees do not have to manage updates themselves.
-
Next-generation antivirus (NGAV) Antivirus blocks malicious software by detecting suspicious behaviour, such as ransomware encrypting files.
-
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) Checks for suspicious behaviour cover all running processes and device activity, not just files.
Why this matters
Every laptop and desktop provides access to business data. Antivirus alone is not enough to detect and stop modern attacks.
