Security/Compliance

Get the right protection

Computer security and protecting data has increasingly become a headache for organisations. From viruses to ransomware and malware, hackers don’t target an organisation, they prey upon and exploit anybody who is vulnerable on the internet.

It is no longer acceptable for an organisation to ensure they have virus software installed on their network and think themselves safe.

Mansys offers a number of security solutions to help put our clients’ minds at ease.

Network Review

We can provide an in-depth network review, ensuring that best practices have been applied to securing your network. This includes everything from user access rights to company policies, to firewall settings. Our network reviews not only look at the technical settings on your network devices, such as routers and servers, but also user culture which may need to change. At the end of our network review, we provide a full management report where the issues are explained in plain English with recommendations for decision makers.

Penetration Testing

Penetration testing is the practice of testing a computer system, network or web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Mansys can carry out a full penetration test of your network. Carrying out a penetration test does not ensure that your network is hack-proof, it will only give you comfort in knowing that known vulnerabilities have been addressed. We provide a full management report at the end of the penetration test with recommendations.

User Awareness Training

Hackers are increasingly using social engineering for tricking users into making their network vulnerable. Hackers try various approaches from emails with attachments, to spoofing a director’s email address, to gathering information from social media on users. Mansys has developed a training course that helps make users aware of cyber security and best practice. In the training session, we discuss the social engineering methods used by hackers and best practice for staff to show that they’re safe when using social media. We understand that staff time is valuable. This training session is limited to one hour held on your premises with a maximum group size of 15 users.

Compliance/Best Practice

Whether you are trying to achieve an ISO:27001 accreditation (Information Security Management), ensure best practice through the implementation of computer use policies or ensure that you are compliant with the new GDPR regulations, Mansys can help.

Mansys can assist you in writing computer user policies, ensuring that best practice is adhered to, provide user training on the policies you adopt and ensure that these policies are enforced through computer settings. This provides senior managers peace-of-mind in knowing that they have not just developed policies that are filed away somewhere, and best practices become a culture of the organisation.

Anti-Virus

Mansys provides anti-virus software plus anti-virus monitoring. It is not enough to just install anti-virus on your computer network. You need to ensure that the software has the latest updates and mobile users who may never visit the office are also updated on a regular basis.

Charities and not-for-profit organisations receive discounted pricing.

Anti-Spam

Most spam is just annoying and clogs up your inbox. But other spam can be malicious, entrapping you with phishing techniques.

We resell Avast Cloudcare Anti-Spam as a service. Avast labels any spam in your email, so you don’t have to waste your time trying to keep your inbox clean and safe.

What is Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves from common cyber-attacks.

The Cyber Essentials scheme allows all organisations to self-audit its existing cyber-security and submit the audit to be reviewed and a certification to be awarded. We can help organisations ensure that their cyber-security is compliant, assist them with completing the audit and passing it the first time.

If you are working with local councils, government organisations or tendering for large contracts, having a Cyber Essentials certification is becoming essential.
