Cyber Security Services
Comprehensive protection for your business — from Cyber Essentials certification to 24/7 SOC monitoring and incident response.
Cyber Security That Protects Your Business at Every Level
Cyber threats are not theoretical. Ransomware, phishing, credential theft, and data breaches affect businesses of every size, every day. The question is not whether your business will be targeted — it is whether you are prepared when it happens. KTS provides comprehensive cyber security services that protect your organisation from the endpoint to the network, from your people to your infrastructure.
Our approach is layered and practical. We do not sell fear — we build resilience. We start by understanding your current security posture, identify gaps, and implement controls that are proportionate to your risk and budget. Whether you need to achieve Cyber Essentials certification for a government contract, harden your systems against sophisticated threats, or deploy 24/7 security monitoring, we deliver security that works in the real world.
We combine technical expertise with operational discipline. Our team holds industry certifications and brings hands-on experience across network security, endpoint protection, identity management, cloud security, and incident response. Security is not a product we sell — it is a capability we build into everything we do for our clients.
Our Cyber Security Services
Cyber Essentials & CE Plus
Complete guidance through the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification process. Gap analysis, remediation, evidence gathering, and submission — we handle it all.
System Hardening
Proactive endpoint, server, and infrastructure hardening aligned to CIS benchmarks. Patch management, secure configurations, least-privilege access, and MFA enforcement.
Network Security
Firewall management, network segmentation, intrusion detection and prevention, DNS security, VPN configuration, and email security (SPF/DKIM/DMARC).
Security Monitoring & SOC
Continuous 24/7 monitoring using our integrated SOC tooling — SIEM, threat detection, automated response, and forensic capability. Linked to our Proactive IT Support platform.
Security Awareness Training
Phishing simulations, interactive training modules, and ongoing campaigns to build a security-conscious culture. Your people are your first line of defence.
Compliance Support
Technical controls and documentation for GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 readiness, and data protection impact assessments.
Security Maturity Journey
From Baseline to Advanced Protection
Security is a journey, not a destination. We meet you where you are and help you progress through each stage at a pace that suits your business.
Foundations
Baseline security assessment, password policies, MFA deployment, email security (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and basic endpoint protection. The essentials that every business needs in place.
Cyber Essentials
Guided path to Cyber Essentials certification — gap analysis, remediation, evidence gathering, and submission. Demonstrates baseline security to clients and enables government contracts.
Hardened Environment
CIS benchmark-aligned configuration, least-privilege access, application whitelisting, advanced endpoint detection and response, VLAN segmentation, and firewall hardening.
Continuous Monitoring
24/7 SOC monitoring with SIEM, automated threat response, vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and incident response readiness. Full visibility into your security posture.
Advanced Protection
ISO 27001 readiness, security awareness programme, threat intelligence integration, tabletop exercises, and strategic security advisory. Mature, resilient security operations.
System Hardening & Proactive Defence
We do not wait for attacks to happen. Our proactive hardening approach reduces your attack surface and makes your environment significantly harder to compromise.
Patch Management
Automated, tested patch deployment for operating systems and applications. Critical patches are prioritised and deployed within defined SLAs.
CIS Benchmark Compliance
Configuration baselines aligned to CIS benchmarks for operating systems, browsers, and cloud services. Regular audits to detect and correct drift.
Endpoint Detection & Response
Advanced EDR tooling that detects and responds to threats at the endpoint level — ransomware, malware, lateral movement, and suspicious behaviour.
Least-Privilege Access
Role-based access controls, admin privilege management, and regular access reviews to ensure users only have the permissions they need.
Network Security & Email Protection
Your network perimeter and email systems are the most common attack vectors. We implement comprehensive controls to protect both.
- Firewall management with granular rules and regular audits
- Network segmentation using VLANs to isolate critical systems
- Intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) monitoring
- DNS security filtering to block malicious domains
- Email security with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC enforcement
- Web filtering to prevent access to known malicious sites
- VPN configuration for secure remote access
- Regular vulnerability scanning and remediation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cyber Essentials and do we need it? +
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme that demonstrates your business meets a baseline standard of cyber security. It is required for bidding on many government contracts and is increasingly expected by larger enterprise clients in their supply chain requirements. Even if you do not need it contractually, the certification process identifies and closes real vulnerabilities in your environment. We guide you through the entire process — from gap analysis to remediation to successful submission.
What is the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus? +
Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment questionnaire verified by an external assessor. Cyber Essentials Plus adds hands-on technical verification — an assessor performs vulnerability scans and tests on your systems to confirm the controls are working in practice, not just on paper. Plus provides a higher level of assurance and is often required for contracts involving sensitive data. We support both levels of certification.
How does your security monitoring work? +
We deploy a combination of tools — Wazuh for SIEM and threat detection, the ELK Stack for centralised log analysis, and Shuffle for automated incident response. Logs from your endpoints, servers, network devices, and cloud services are collected, correlated, and analysed in real time. When a threat is detected, automated playbooks can isolate endpoints, block IPs, and create incident tickets within seconds. Our engineers monitor the system 24/7 and handle complex incidents directly.
Do you provide security awareness training for staff? +
Yes. Human error remains the leading cause of security breaches. We provide security awareness training programmes including phishing simulations, interactive training modules, and ongoing reinforcement campaigns. We also help develop security policies and acceptable use policies tailored to your organisation.
Can you help with GDPR compliance? +
Yes. While we are not solicitors, we provide the technical and operational controls that underpin GDPR compliance — data encryption, access controls, audit logging, data protection impact assessments, incident response procedures, and data retention management. We work alongside your legal and compliance teams to ensure the technical implementation meets regulatory requirements.
