The Cyber Essentials scheme is a UK government standard for cybersecurity, helping organisations guard against the most common cyber threats and prove to your customers your commitment to cyber security.

• Our skills and experience can help you achieve the Cyber Essentials accreditation
• We review your technology processes and policies, find security gaps, and shut them down
• The certification opens up opportunities to bid for larger business and government contracts and reassure customers that you take cyber security seriously

Accessing confidential information through email is a primary tactic of cybercriminals. Encrypting emails is critical to classify and protect sensitive information, so that only the authorised recipient can decode messages, keeping your organisation and your customers’ information private.

Digital transformation has made accessing our work, finances, and personal information easier than ever, creating a wealth of opportunities for hackers. Two-factor authentication secures systems and user accounts by requiring users to enter a password and confirm their identity through an additional method of authentication. Our solution:

• Creates one–time passwords that are randomly generated and can’t be predicted or reused
• Protects the business against human error, sharing or misplacing passwords
• Is compatible with any phone which supports text messages
• Makes accessing your organisation’s network and data safe

Two-factor authentication adds additional security to business email, cloud services, and other accounts, making unauthorised access harder even if a password is compromised.

Dark web scanning enables you to discover whether passwords have been exposed on the dark web. Immediate alerts let you act fast and protect your organisation.

Dark web scanning can help identify stolen credentials, prevent larger data breaches and financial fraud, and protect your organisation against ransomware attacks.

If a data breach exposes employee login details, cybercriminals may try to use them to access business accounts and networks. Identifying compromised credentials lets you act quickly, for example by resetting passwords, reviewing account activity, and strengthening authentication controls.

Credential scanning is part of a wider cybersecurity approach. Combined with password management, multi-factor authentication and staff awareness, it helps reduce the risk of stolen login details being used to compromise your organisation.

To discover more about dark web credential scanning, contact Timewade.

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts every data file it can find on a system. To decrypt and access the data, a ransom must be paid to the criminals to prevent a significant impact on your organisation.

Our ransomware protection software keeps your business protected and helps prevent it from becoming a victim.

• With ransomware attacks on the rise, protection has never been so important
• A ransomware attack can be expensive for your business’s finances and reputation
• Utilising the most advanced anti-ransomware technology available, we block ransomware before it even starts trying to encrypt your files

Ransomware can disrupt operations and put confidential information at risk. Timewade can strengthen your defences with appropriate protection, supported by regular backups, up-to-date systems, controlled access, and staff training.

• The solution isolates infected endpoints and restricts Wi-Fi for non-compliant mobile devices
• Scans desktops, laptops and servers on detection of compromised mailboxes

Firewalls, secure remote access, and endpoint protection help control access to your infrastructure, identify suspicious activity, and limit the spread of threats across connected systems. Timewade helps protect business networks whether employees work in the office or remotely.

Keep your organisation safe from malware, phishing and impersonation attempts with spam email protection with benefits that include:

• Email spam scanning
• Virus protection via email and web browsing

DMARC is an email validation system designed to protect organisations from email spoofing and phishing by allowing them to publish policies on how to handle unauthenticated emails. These policies help protect against email threats by ensuring only legitimate emails from authorised senders are delivered. Other benefits include:

• Prevents spammers from using your domain to send fraudulent emails, protecting your organisation’s reputation
• Only allows legitimate emails from your domain to be delivered
• Properly authenticated emails are less likely to be marked as spam, improving deliverability
• Helps meet compliance requirements for email security and data protection

DMARC works alongside SPF and DKIM to help receiving mail servers verify messages sent using your domain. Correct configuration can reduce email spoofing and support more reliable delivery, depending on your existing email setup.

To discover more about DMARC protection, contact Timewade.

Timewade’s penetration testing simulates real-world cyberattacks through ethical hacking to uncover vulnerabilities, strengthen defences, and protect your organisation from evolving threats.

Penetration testing helps you:

• Understand real vulnerabilities
• Validate security controls
• Meet compliance requirements
• Prioritise remediation
• Provide evidence of the organisation’s security posture.

How Timewade Helps

We deliver safe, comprehensive testing across your digital environment. Our team:

• Simulates real-world attack techniques
• Identifies vulnerabilities across systems and users
• Provides clear, actionable reporting
• Supports long-term security improvement

Many organisations conduct penetration testing to meet the requirements of major regulatory security frameworks. Common standards include:

• PCI DSS – Required for businesses handling card payments
• ISO 27001 – Supports ongoing risk assessment, management, and control validation
• NIS2 – Encourages regular testing as part of security assurance
• DORA – Mandates threat‑led testing for financial entities
• HIPAA – Requires technical assessments for healthcare data protection

The required testing depends on your organisation, the information you handle, and any applicable standards or contractual obligations. Penetration testing can form part of a broader cyber security audit, helping you understand your current security posture and prioritise improvements.

Our managed vulnerability scanning service gives you continuous visibility across your network, cloud, and systems.

As your IT systems change, new vulnerabilities can emerge through outdated software, configuration errors and missing security updates. Regular scanning helps identify known weaknesses so you can assess their significance and act before attackers exploit them.

Why Should My Business Have Vulnerability Scanning?

Cyber threats evolve quickly, and new weaknesses appear every time software, systems, or configurations change. Vulnerability scanning helps you:

• Stay ahead of known security flaws
• Reduce your attack surface
• Maintain compliance with industry standards
• Keep systems secure between penetration tests
• Make informed decisions about where to invest in security

What Vulnerability Scanning Delivers

• Spot issues early: Identify outdated software, misconfigurations, missing patches, and other known vulnerabilities.
• Reduce risk: Fixing issues quickly lowers the chance of a breach.
• Support compliance: Vulnerability scans are a key requirement of ISO27001, NIST, DORA, HIPAA, SOC 2 & PCI DSS.
• Track improvements: Regular scans help you benchmark progress and prioritise investment.

Scanning is most valuable when you review, prioritise, and address the issues it identifies. It complements penetration testing and other security measures by helping you maintain visibility of weaknesses across your IT infrastructure, including relevant networks, endpoints and cloud environments.
