Security that's built in, not bolted on
Cybersecurity for UK businesses, focused on the controls that reduce risk, rather than tools that add cost.
The majority of successful cyber attacks on small businesses exploit basic security failures instead of zero-day vulnerabilities. Correctly implemented baseline controls mitigate the bulk of the risk.
Basic controls, implemented properly
We focus on controls that have real impact. Everything we recommend, we can implement and verify.
MFA rollout
Multi-factor authentication deployed across Microsoft 365, email, VPN, and any other key systems. The single most impactful security control you can implement.
Endpoint protection
Microsoft Defender for Business configured properly across all devices — not just installed and forgotten. Monitored alerts, response policies, and regular reviews.
Email security
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured correctly to prevent spoofing. Anti-phishing policies, safe links, and attachment scanning via Microsoft Defender.
Security assessments
A structured review of your current security posture — devices, accounts, network, and configurations — delivered as a plain-English report with prioritised actions.
Staff awareness training
Short, focused sessions that help your team recognise phishing attempts, handle data safely, and understand why security policies exist.
Cyber Essentials preparation
Gap assessment, remediation, and guided certification. We hold Cyber Essentials ourselves and have helped other businesses achieve it first time.
Cybersecurity expertise, not just IT experience
Montalex was established to provide smaller organisations with the standard of security guidance usually reserved for larger ones, while drawing on formal security training on top of long-term IT experience.
For a small business, that level of expertise is normally only accessible through expensive enterprise consultancies. We bring it to organisations of any size.
