The Threat Landscape
Why York Businesses Need Cyber Security
York is a major centre for insurance, rail, tourism, biotech, and a growing tech sector. The city's businesses handle vast amounts of sensitive customer, financial, and intellectual property data — making robust cyber security essential for organisations of all sizes.
Ransomware Attacks
York's insurance, tourism, and professional services sectors handle valuable client data — making them prime ransomware targets. We deploy EDR, immutable backups, and incident response planning.
Phishing & Social Engineering
The majority of breaches start with phishing. Our training programmes and email security keep your York team vigilant against sophisticated attacks.
Vulnerability Exploitation
Unpatched systems are easy targets. We provide continuous vulnerability scanning and patch management to close security gaps before they're exploited.
Insider Threats & Data Leaks
Our monitoring solutions detect unusual behaviour and prevent data exfiltration — protecting your business from both internal and external threats.

Local Threat Picture
Cyber Security for York's Financial, Bioscience and Visitor Economy
York's largest private employers sit in insurance and financial services, which means a concentration of personal and financial data in a relatively small city centre. That data attracts targeted phishing and business email compromise far more than opportunistic attacks, and it comes with regulatory expectations about how quickly you can detect and report an incident.
The Science Park adds a second profile: research and product businesses with intellectual property, grant conditions and partner due diligence to satisfy. The third profile is the visitor economy - hotels, attractions and hospitality - where card data, booking systems and guest Wi-Fi are the exposure, and where a compromise during peak season is disproportionately costly.
Practically, York also has a lot of small offices in period buildings with shared broadband and, occasionally, shared network equipment between tenants. That is a genuine risk we find repeatedly and one that is straightforward to fix once it has been identified.
Financial advice firm, York city centre (21 users)
- The challenge
- A convincing impersonation email asked the finance assistant to change a supplier's bank details. It was caught by chance, and the firm could not tell whether any mailbox had been accessed.
- What we did
- MFA and conditional access on all accounts, impersonation and external-sender protection, mailbox audit logging with alerting on new forwarding rules, and a documented payment-verification procedure.
- The outcome
- Full visibility of mailbox activity, spoofed mail blocked at the gateway, and a payment process that no longer depends on one person spotting something odd.
Boutique hotel group, York and surrounding area (3 sites)
- The challenge
- Guest Wi-Fi and the property management system shared the same network, and card terminals sat on the same flat network as back-office PCs.
- What we did
- Separated guest, operational and payment networks, locked down remote access to the property management system, deployed endpoint protection and set up monitoring across all three sites.
- The outcome
- Guest traffic can no longer reach booking or payment systems, and the group's card compliance questions are answerable with a network diagram rather than a guess.
