Cyber-attacks are spreading in number and severity and becoming more expensive and time consuming to resolve; we all need to protect our networks. Ransomware attacks are commonplace, with business, health authorities and education all heavily targeted. Partner with DMS to get certified and comply with the government backed Cyber Essentials scheme:
Already a requirement for businesses seeking some government contracts

Here are some measures we recommend for you to consider. Contact us to start on the road to protection …
DMS can test your network, providing feedback to help you assess, improve and manage the security of your organisation.
“A penetration test should be thought of as similar to a financial audit. Your finance team tracks expenditure and income day to day. An audit by an external group ensures that your internal team’s processes are sufficient.”
A huge contribution towards protection is training your staff to be more aware and alert to the signs that an attack is under way. One of our partners, KnowBe4, are experts in this field. They carry out user security awareness training including simulated phishing attacks, to heighten the knowledge of users and their sensitivity to illicit activity.
For a protective firewall that monitors traffic to your network, DMS uses Fortinet’s Fortigate for head office solutions, with Zscaler preferred for companies with multiple mobile workers.

Conditional Access is an Azure AD capability and Cyber security that Intune enhances by adding mobile device compliance and mobile application management. Intune and Azure AD work together to ensure only managed and compliant devices are allowed access to email, O365 services, Software as a Service apps, and on-premises apps.
Many mobile device management (MDM) solutions help protect organisational data by requiring users and devices to meet some requirements. In Intune, this feature is called “compliance policies”. These define the rules and settings that users and devices must meet to be compliant.
When combined with conditional access, administrators can block users and devices that don’t meet the rules.
For example, an Intune administrator can require:
You can also use this feature to monitor the compliance status on devices in your organization.
Additionally, you can set a policy in Azure Active Directory to only enable computers that are domain-joined, or mobile devices that are enrolled in Intune to access Office 365 services. Intune provides device compliance policy capabilities that evaluate the compliance status of the devices. The compliance status is reported to Azure Active Directory that uses it to enforce the conditional access policy created in Azure Active Directory when the user tries to access company resources.
Did you know you have a legal requirement to report major data breaches to the ICO within 72 hours. Failure to notify can result in a fine of up to €1 Million! DMS can take you through your obligations and the requirements of GDPR to help you to become and remain compliant.
‘You should have robust breach detection, investigation and internal reporting procedures in place’
