Your team can contact us, in whichever way they feel most comfortable, whether it be via phone, email, teams, skype, or even WhatsApp. All these contacts get filtered by our first-line team and most of the time, get instantly resolved and go into our ticketing system as resolved.

We boast a 75% first contact resolution. 

We do this by ensuring our third line team is always involved in every ticket, and they give feedback to the first line on any improvements that can be made for the next time. Your team also gets to know our third line personally and also knows they can bounce off challenges with them on a personal level.

Every member of your team is different, and we adapt to each one on a personal level to ensure they get the quality of support they need.

When your critical equipment stops working, we get an alert from our monitoring system.

We quickly work with your onsite team to try and resolve the issue remotely.

Failing to fix it remotely, your favorite third-line support will visit your premises and try to quickly resolve the problem.

If things are a bit more complex we refer to our disaster recovery procedure to get you back up and running using our planned procedure.

• Fast response times to critical issues
• Automated monitoring of critical systems allows better planning

Over time, cables and devices can get unmanageable. The confusion that this entails can repeatedly cause your business to stall and cause disruption to production.

If left unchecked can be devastating.

This process is critical to the core of our support. We constantly fret over your data and server recovery process and regularly update our planning.

You will know we do care about this process as we constantly get in touch to let you know how it’s going and if any of our tests are showing us that changes are needed.

We back up all your data using bit-level data backups. Essentially we store what has changed since the last backup. This makes it much simpler and easier to restore. Where applicable, we keep a local cache on your site and also transfer it over on a schedule to the cloud.

A zero-day attack occurs if your security appliance vendor is not aware of the threat. Zero-day attacks are extremely dangerous. Zero-day attacks regularly target the very devices we rely on to protect us. Ensuring that you are ready to deal with fallout from a zero-day attack is essential.

We routinely restore your backups to either Azure or AWS as dry test runs to see how your growth and network changes are affecting our recovery times and plans.

• Bit-level data backups
• 3 monthly testing of restore procedures
• Updates to process as problems are found during testing
• Cyber threat related planing
• Budget planning as data grows

Our team carries vast experience in working on projects. This project experience is vital to our daily approach to the help desk. We understand what it takes to maintain infrastructure, and we always build with disaster recovery and practical usage in mind.

We are constantly working on new projects for existing clients. From moving your phone system to teams, or setting up new servers for your developers to stage your latest web project.

These require a lot of planning, focus on budgets, and procurement hurdles.

No project is too big, we have experience in relocations, rebuilds, and total migration from on-premise servers to AWS and Azure.

We have worked with multinational organisations; interfacing with their process and delivering projects into their ecosystem, all the while adhering to strict QA and privacy policies.

• Budget and timescale planning
• Design and staged testing of changes
• Quality assurance sign off on changes
• Extended production environment monitoring during change cycles

We employ a remote monitoring and management tool as part of our core activity. This tool records all incidents, and issues on servers and computers to give us a bigger picture of your network.

From simple updates to projected failures, we can see it all and we can act on it.

We report these regularly and take action before problems arise.

As part of our normal service to you, we give you the opportunity to talk to us about your problems and your pain points.

Knowing what is limiting the business to change, can help us propose or keep thinking of how to improve our support and assist with your growth.

• 3 monthly IT environment reviews to identify problems and bottlenecks
• Reporting on employee satisfaction and experience.

GDPR makes us think more about the weak spots in our data collection and retention procedures. Losing data with personal information is extremely worrying for us all. Not having any thought/conversation or even a policy is even more dangerous.

Data privacy is a subject that we constantly communicate about internally and with our clients. How long is worth keeping any information with PI on it for? There should be a finite life on data retention for unnecessary contacts or former clients. Always only hold onto what is needed, and safely destroy anything that you do not need. With a good data mining process, (btw scoot over to our application development team to see the wonders we can do with data) we can help uncover data in the wrong places, secure them and improve your policies and procedures to meet GDPR Policies.

So you have a firewall, you have an antivirus solution and you are safe and secure. You regularly renew the subscription and it all works well… until it doesn't.

How these devices are set up is extremely important and how they capture modern threats from ransomware is critical to your business. A zero-day attack is one that occurs if the security vendor is not aware of the threat. Zero-day attacks are extremely dangerous, as they regularly target the very devices we rely on to protect us. Ensuring that you are ready to deal with a fallout from a zero-day attack is essential.

Sophos and ESET partner with us to ensure you get a multi-tiered security setup. For instance, we use Sophos as the main firewall appliance and ESET antivirus as the second line of defense. If one vendor fails to capture a threat we have a second one standing by within the network to stop it.

You may have heard of penetration testing (sorry, this is not a TikTok). You wonder if your network is safe, our experienced team uses ISO 27001-compliant testing to target your network from the outside. We do not limit this to your on-premises network, rather, we also perform these tests on your wider cloud network. The result of the tests will show weaknesses. We assess the results and work towards making the necessary changes to ensure you are compliant.

We also work with external quality assurance agencies, on a client's request to assess our suitability as a vendor, and we pass every time!

Human error is the main cause of data breaches. Your team is in control of sensitive data on a daily basis and if they lack the relevant training on best procedures of handling that data, disaster is around the corner.

Understanding the threat posed and how to handle it is essential to your staff. We use various tools including webinars to ensure that your team is always tooled and guided on how to keep their devices and data safe.
