Where attacks land

Four ways criminals target growing businesses.

Fast growth means new people, new tools and new money. Each one is an opening.

  1. Founder impersonation

    Fake emails from the CEO asking finance to pay an invoice or buy gift cards, often sent the day a funding round is announced.

  2. Account sprawl

    Dozens of software tools, shared logins and former staff who still have access.

  3. Phishing new starters

    A team full of new joiners who don't yet know what normal looks like is the easiest kind to fool.

  4. Customer data

    Your product holds other people's data. A breach costs you their trust and your next deal.

What's expected of you

Who asks, what they want, and how fromIT helps.

FAQ

Startup questions

Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 first?

Usually Cyber Essentials first. It's quick, fixed-price and covers the technical basics. ISO 27001 makes sense when bigger customers start asking for it, and Cyber Essentials gives you a head start.

Do you help with SOC 2?

fromIT focuses on Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001, the standards UK customers ask for most. If a US customer needs SOC 2, much of the groundwork overlaps with ISO 27001.

We're fully remote. Does that matter?

Not at all. Cyber Essentials covers home workers' devices and cloud services, and fromIT works remotely across the UK.

Can fromIT work with our existing IT provider?

Yes. fromIT focuses purely on security and works alongside whoever looks after your IT today. If you don't have an IT provider, fromIT recommends Adkinsio for everyday IT support.

How much does it cost?

Cyber Essentials starts at £595 as a fixed-price package, plus the IASME assessment fee. Monthly services start from £2 per person. Cyber incident response starts with a fixed £795 first response. Every price is on the site.
