How do you secure CI/CD pipelines and build servers?
You secure build pipelines by controlling who can change them, keeping secrets out of code, protecting and patching the build servers, and monitoring them. The pipeline ships your product, so a compromise there is serious. Here’s how to lock it down.
How do you stop email fraud and invoice scams on a construction project?

How does application allowlisting protect a law firm?
Application allowlisting only lets approved software run on your machines, so ransomware and unknown programs are blocked by default. For a conveyancing firm holding client funds, it’s one of the strongest protections available.
What does a NetSuite data migration actually involve?

How do you control who can access confidential case data?
Give each person their own MFA-secured account, grant least-privilege access, use the document system’s permissions to control access by client and case, keep a clear record, and remove access promptly when people leave, part of managed IT at about £45 to £100 per user per month.
Why do accountancy firms switch from their old IT company to a specialist MSP?
Firms switch when their old IT company stops moving with the times, leaving security behind the threats and support slow. A specialist MSP that knows accountancy software and stays current is the usual reason practices make the change.
What’s the best way to manage passwords and secrets across a dev team?
Use a managed password manager for people and a proper secrets store for systems, with MFA, strong unique credentials and no secrets in code. That stops the leaks and shared-password habits that cause so many breaches. Here’s how.
How do you keep Amadeus, Navitas and your GDS running reliably?
Keep the GDS reliable with a well-managed, monitored hosted-desktop platform, consistent patching and browser config, resilient connectivity and travel-aware support, part of managed IT at about £45 to £100 per user per month.
How do you secure privileged and admin access in a development environment?
You secure admin access by limiting who has it, giving elevated rights only when needed, protecting those accounts with MFA, and logging their use. In a dev environment full of powerful access, controlling the keys is essential.
