Practical Cyber Security for Business

Protect your data, your reputation, and your peace of mind, without complexity or jargon.

Most cyber attacks don’t target big corporations, they target small businesses like yours. Why? Because you’re often less protected, and attackers know it.

But you don’t need a tech team or a huge budget to stay safe. Since 2001, we’ve helped Manchester businesses implement simple, effective security that actually works, so you can sleep soundly.

How We Keep You Safe

🔍 Security Audits

We check your systems for weak spots, from passwords to outdated software, and give clear, actionable fixes.

🛡️ Ransomware Protection

Reliable backups, endpoint security, and recovery plans so you never pay a ransom.

📧 Phishing Defence

Email filtering, staff training, and simulated attacks to reduce human risk.

✅ Compliance Support

GDPR, ISO 27001, or client requirements, we help you meet standards without overwhelm.

Security Isn’t About Fear, It’s About Confidence

You don’t need to become an expert. You just need a trusted partner who explains things clearly and fixes what matters.


We focus on practical, affordable steps that block 95% of threats, so you get real protection, not just paperwork.

Good news: You don’t need a six-figure security budget to stay safe. Using Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you can block ~80% of common cyberattacks with your Office 365 bundle.

🔒 What Actually Works

If your business uses Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you already have enterprise-grade security tools built in. Most just aren’t turned on by default.


Your Built-In Security Toolkit

Risk Real Solution Built into M365 Business Premium?
Lost/stolen laptops exposing data Full-disk encryption BitLocker (Windows Pro + Intune policy)
Ransomware wiping files Reliable, versioned backups OneDrive + SharePoint (with 30–90-day version history & ransomware detection)
Hackers logging in with stolen passwords Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Enforce MFA (Managed via M365 Admin Center)
Outdated software = easy hack Automatic, forced updates Windows Update for Business (managed via Intune)
Malware from email or web Real-time anti-malware & phishing protection Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (included)
Random devices joining your network Device compliance policies Intune blocks non-compliant or unmanaged devices
Weak firewall or open ports Host-based firewall + secure defaults Windows Firewall + Secure Baseline Policies in Intune

💡 That’s CIS Implementation Group 1 (IG1) the globally recognized “basic cyber hygiene” standard covered.

🛠️ What You Should Do

To address the top 5 causes of SMB breaches.

  • Turn on MFA for everyone (Admin Center → Users → MFA).
  • Enable BitLocker via Intune device compliance policy.
  • Set Windows to auto-update (use “Defer quality updates = 0 days”).
  • Use OneDrive for all company files (not local drives or USB sticks).
  • Train your team to spot phishing (free Microsoft resources).

❌ What You Don’t Need

Despite what some vendors say:

  • Expensive third-party antivirus (Defender is top-rated by AV-Test and MITRE).
  • Complex backup appliances (OneDrive + retention policies work fine for most).
  • “Custom” firewalls for basic office internet (Windows Firewall + modern router).
  • Fear-based upsells (“Your business will collapse in 48 hours!”).

✅ When to Consider Extra Help

You might want support if:

  • You handle sensitive client data (e.g., legal, medical, financial).
  • You’re subject to compliance rules (GDPR, PIPEDA, etc.).
  • You lack time/confidence to configure Intune or policies.

DSJ Computing can help you set this up correctly once and train your team. No lock-in.

The Bottom Line:
Cybersecurity isn’t about buying more stuff, it’s about using what you already have, properly.

With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you get:

Encryption • Backup • MFA • Updates • Malware Protection • Device Control

…all included with your user licences with a one-time setup.
