Services

Practical cybersecurity services for UK SMEs

Baseline reviews, managed monitoring, vulnerability visibility, Cyber Essentials readiness, and incident support — combined into one clear security programme.

Service coverage

One programme, layered as you grow

  • Baseline review

  • Monitoring

  • Vulnerability visibility

  • Cyber Essentials readiness

  • Incident support

Visibility and Monitoring

You can't protect what you can't see. We bring your security signals together across devices, servers, and key cloud apps so there is one clear view of what's happening.

Using Wazuh-powered monitoring, we watch for suspicious activity and surface what genuinely matters — reviewed by people, not just forwarded as raw alerts.

What’s included

  • Endpoint and server monitoring
  • Suspicious-activity detection
  • Alert review and prioritisation
  • Monthly plain-English visibility report
  • Clear escalation path when something looks wrong

Hardening and Vulnerability Management

Most breaches start with the basics: out-of-date software, weak configurations, and known vulnerabilities left unpatched.

We identify where you're exposed, rank issues by real-world risk, and give you a prioritised fix plan you can actually work through.

What’s included

  • Vulnerability and misconfiguration visibility
  • Security configuration checks
  • Patch and update guidance
  • Risk-ranked priority fix plan
  • Progress tracking over time

Account and Access Security

Stolen and reused passwords are one of the most common ways attackers get in. Strong account security is one of the highest-value, lowest-cost improvements a business can make.

We review how accounts and access are set up, and help you close the gaps — starting with multi-factor authentication on the accounts that matter most.

What’s included

  • Multi-factor authentication review
  • Admin and privileged-access checks
  • Joiner, mover, and leaver access review
  • Password and identity hygiene guidance
  • Cloud app access review

Backup and Resilience Checks

Backups only help if they actually work when you need them. Many businesses assume they're covered until a restore fails during a real incident.

We check that your backups exist, are protected, and can be restored — so recovery is something you've tested, not something you're hoping for.

What’s included

  • Backup coverage review
  • Restore-test guidance
  • Ransomware resilience checks
  • Recovery expectations in plain English
  • Practical improvement recommendations

Incident Readiness and Support

When something goes wrong, the first few hours matter. Knowing who to call and what to do removes panic and reduces the damage.

We help you prepare a simple response plan in advance, and we're there to help triage, explain the risk, and guide your response if an incident happens.

What’s included

  • Simple incident response plan
  • Clear roles and contacts
  • Triage and risk explanation support
  • First-response guidance
  • Post-incident review and lessons learned

Cyber Essentials Readiness

Cyber Essentials is a recognised UK baseline that helps demonstrate you take security seriously — and it's increasingly asked for in client and supplier due diligence.

We help you understand the five controls, find the gaps, and prepare your environment before you apply through an authorised certification route. Crywex is not a certification body.

What you get each month

Managed plans keep security moving — not a tool you have to run yourself.

  • Prioritised findings

    The issues that matter most, ranked by real-world risk.

  • Plain-English report

    A clear summary written for decisions, not just for IT.

  • Remediation guidance

    Practical steps to fix each issue, not just alerts.

  • Escalation support

    A clear path when something suspicious needs a closer look.

How we fit in

A security layer alongside your IT provider

Crywex doesn't have to replace your existing IT support. We work as the dedicated security layer — adding monitoring, visibility, and specialist guidance around the setup you already have.
