Cyber Security
Buying every solution and service the cyber security market has to offer is not realistic for any organisation we work with. LIMA helps you understand where your risks sit, what each one would cost you if it were exploited, and which need dealing with first. Then we help you deal with them.
How to prioritise security spend
The cyber security market is enormous and the price of full coverage is out of reach for almost everyone. So security spend needs to be smart and targeted to cover the greatest percentage at an achievable cost.
Most organisations know they have gaps. Far fewer can say where those gaps are, how serious each one is, or what closing them would cost. Without that, you can’t prioritise the work, you can’t build a case for the budget, and you can’t tell whether the money you have already spent is having an impact.
How LIMA approaches security
We are not a reseller with one product to push. We start by understanding your business, your sector and the risks you carry, then break your position down into individual risks with a cost attached to each. From there you can choose what to address in year one, year two, year three and beyond.
That sequencing is where our advice matters most. It might not be worth fixing your Managed Detection and Response if your vulnerability management strategy is not up to scratch. There’s no point putting expensive CCTV and alarms inside a building if you’re just going to leave the front door open. We will help you understand what needs doing now, and what can wait.

A distinct but connected security approach
Every LIMA service is built with security as a core principle. When we make a configuration change under ProActive, the security impact of that change is assessed as part of the process. That is how a managed service should work.
Our cyber security services are deliberately kept separate from it. None of them are bundled into a support contract, and that is a design decision rather than an oversight.
Plenty of MSPs deliver security and managed services from the same internal team. We think that creates a conflict of interest. If the people who build and run your environment are also the people auditing it, nobody independent is watching your back.
So our managed SOC and penetration testing are delivered by CYSIAM, our security partner. They work to their own regulatory frameworks and accreditations. What they tell you, we see, but we cannot edit or soften. Their findings reach you as they wrote them.
Three pillars of security
Cyber security is not a technology audit. We assess and advise across three pillars: people, process and technology.
All three must work in unison for a cyber security strategy to be successful. And we account for all three across every engagement.
Technology
Technology is the one everyone thinks of first, covering end user computing, cloud, networks and security technology.
Process
Process covers your IT operating procedures, business continuity planning, threat detection and asset control.
People
People covers information security policy, education, and how behaviour is monitored and protected.
