IT security services for Cambridgeshire business

IT security doesn’t need to be daunting. We’ve been protecting Cambridge SMEs for over 20 years and can explain in plain terms what you need — then put it in place. All solutions are tailored to your business size, sector, and budget.

Email security

Email remains the single biggest threat vector for SMEs — responsible for the overwhelming majority of breaches. We intercept and scan all incoming and outgoing traffic before threats reach your team.

Network security

We deploy the full Ubiquiti stack — UniFi gateways, managed switches, and access points — giving your business a secure, high-performance network that’s centrally managed and fully visible. Scalable from single-site to multi-site.

Endpoint protection

Every PC, laptop, and mobile device your team uses is a potential entry point. We deploy layered endpoint protection covering browser security, on-access scanning, and behavioural threat analysis.

Device encryption

A lost laptop shouldn’t mean a data breach. We manage BitLocker encryption policies via Microsoft Intune — ensuring every device is protected whether in the office, at home, or on the road.

Password security

Weak passwords are behind the majority of data breaches — LastPass fixes that

Stolen or reused passwords are the single most common entry point for attackers. Once one account is compromised, every other using the same password is too — and most business teams reuse passwords constantly, whether they admit it or not.

Camb IT are authorised LastPass partners. We provision and manage LastPass Business for Cambridgeshire businesses — giving every team member a secure, encrypted password vault, and giving you full visibility over credential strength across your whole organisation.

LastPass integrates with Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, supports SSO, and works across every browser and device. It takes minutes to deploy and makes a measurable difference to your security posture from day one.

81% of data breaches involve weak, stolen or reused passwords. (Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report)

Proactive security monitoring

Security that doesn’t wait for something to go wrong

As part of our managed IT support for Cambridge businesses, our team monitors your systems continuously — flagging threats before they escalate. Security isn’t a product you buy once; it’s an ongoing discipline baked into how we support you.

24/7 remote monitoring

Our RMM platform watches your systems around the clock — detecting anomalies, failed logins, and unusual traffic patterns the moment they occur.

Patch management

Unpatched software is one of the most common attack vectors. We automate OS and application updates so your systems are never exposed by a missed patch.

Secure cloud backups

Encrypted, offsite backups of your critical data via Acronis — tested regularly so that if the worst happens, recovery is fast, complete, and stress-free.

Certified to the highest standards

Certified to the highest standards — and we can get you there too

Camb IT holds Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 — three UK government-recognised certifications that demonstrate a serious, structured approach to cyber security. We can help your Cambridge business achieve the same.

Cyber Essentials
Foundation level

Foundation certification

Self-assessed questionnaire covering five core technical controls. The right starting point for most Cambridge SMEs — and a prerequisite for CE Plus and IASME.

Cyber Essentials Plus
Independently verified

Independently verified

An external assessor tests your controls against real-world attack scenarios. Required by many government contracts and increasingly expected by enterprise clients.

IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1
The gold standard for SMEs

The gold standard for SMEs

Goes beyond Cyber Essentials to cover governance, risk management, staff awareness and GDPR compliance. Maps to the UK Government’s 10 Steps to Cyber Security and recognised as an affordable alternative to ISO 27001 for smaller businesses.

Camb IT holds all three certifications. IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 builds on Cyber Essentials — covering not just your technical controls but your policies, processes, and people. It demonstrates to clients, partners, and insurers that your organisation takes data protection seriously across the board. We can guide your business through the assessment process from start to finish.

Security review

Think your security could be stronger?

Most Cambridge businesses have more gaps in their IT security than they realise — not because they’ve been careless, but because the threat landscape moves quickly and there are a lot of moving parts to keep on top of.

If you’d like a frank, expert view of where you stand, get in touch. We’ll look at what you have in place, where the gaps are, and what you should prioritise — explained clearly, without the jargon.

Email exposure

Phishing hits 93% of successful breaches. Are you protected in your current email environment?

Network configuration

Sixty-five per cent of incidents relate to outdated or isolated firewall and network settings. When did you last review yours?

Endpoint coverage

Are all of your team’s devices — including remote workers’ machines — running up-to-date protection?

Backup & recovery

If ransomware hit tomorrow, how quickly could you recover? When were your backups last tested?
