Managed cybersecurity that protects people, data and day-to-day operations
Stratiis brings together risk assessment, identity and endpoint security, Microsoft 365 protection, monitoring, employee awareness and recovery planning in one practical service.
What are managed cybersecurity services?
Managed cybersecurity services provide ongoing protection, monitoring and expert guidance across an organisation's users, devices, identities, email, cloud services, networks and data. Stratiis helps Scottish businesses reduce cyber risk by identifying weaknesses, applying appropriate controls, monitoring for threats and improving resilience over time.
Cybersecurity is a business risk, not only an IT issue
Attackers often use automated methods to find weak passwords, exposed services, unpatched software and poorly protected email accounts. They look for opportunity rather than choosing targets only by size.
Operational disruption
Ransomware, compromised accounts and unavailable systems can interrupt services and reduce productivity.
Financial loss
Payment fraud, recovery work, downtime and regulatory consequences can create significant unexpected cost.
Data exposure
Customer, employee, tenant, donor and commercially sensitive information may be stolen or misused.
Damaged confidence
A serious incident can affect customer trust, supplier relationships, contracts and organisational reputation.
Layered protection around your organisation
No single product can address every risk. Effective security combines people, processes and technology across the environment your organisation depends upon.
Risk assessments
Clear reviews of users, systems, Microsoft 365, devices, networks, backups, remote access and business applications.
Vulnerability and endpoint protection
Managed detection, response and security update oversight for laptops, desktops and servers.
Microsoft 365 security
MFA, Conditional Access, Defender, Intune, secure administration, sharing controls and security monitoring.
Email and phishing protection
Layered controls for malicious links, attachments, impersonation, spoofing, malware and suspicious email activity.
Identity and access
Strong authentication, least-privilege access, secure onboarding and prompt removal of access when people leave.
Awareness training
Practical education that helps employees recognise phishing, payment fraud, unsafe access and suspicious activity.
Backup and recovery
Protected backups, recovery objectives, testing and continuity planning to support recovery after a serious incident.
Monitoring and response
Security oversight, alert investigation, escalation and a clearer route for responding when something unusual occurs.
Turn cybersecurity activity into a managed programme
These related Stratiis services help leaders understand their position, decide what matters next and address weaknesses systematically.
Cybersecurity planning
Build a practical, prioritised plan around business risks, responsibilities, controls, recovery and future improvement.
Strategic cybersecurity reviews
Review security at leadership level, connect technical findings to business impact and maintain a meaningful roadmap.
Vulnerability management
Identify, prioritise and address weaknesses across supported technology before they become an easier route for attackers.
What should a strong cybersecurity strategy include?
The right controls depend on risk, but a well-rounded strategy should cover the following areas.
| Security layer | What it covers | Business value |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | MFA, Conditional Access, privileged accounts, joiners, movers and leavers. | Reduces the impact of stolen passwords and excessive access. |
| Devices | Endpoint detection, patching, supported software, encryption and mobile device management. | Protects the equipment people use to reach business information. |
| Email and cloud | Threat filtering, Microsoft 365 configuration, sharing controls and cloud application visibility. | Strengthens services frequently targeted through phishing and account compromise. |
| Networks | Managed firewalls, secure remote access, segmentation, wireless security and monitoring. | Controls how systems connect and limits unnecessary exposure. |
| People and process | Awareness, policies, reporting routes, incident response and supplier access. | Helps employees make safer decisions and escalate concerns quickly. |
| Recovery | Protected backups, tested restoration, continuity arrangements and incident planning. | Improves the ability to restore data and resume important services. |
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme focused on five core technical controls: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control and malware protection. Cyber Essentials Plus adds independent technical verification of those controls.
Is Cyber Essentials relevant to your organisation?
Certification can help demonstrate good practice to customers, funders, partners and supply chains. It may also be requested for contracts or cyber insurance. Stratiis can help assess gaps, prepare the environment and explain what needs to change.
Already have an internal IT team?
Stratiis can provide co-managed cybersecurity capacity, specialist assessment, monitoring and project support while your internal team retains day-to-day knowledge and control.
Cybersecurity for organisations with different risks
Data, contractual obligations, service availability, remote sites and user behaviour vary by sector. Explore support tailored to organisations Stratiis already understands.
A five-stage cybersecurity improvement process
Cybersecurity is not a one-off installation. It is a managed cycle that adapts as risks, technology and the organisation change.
Assess
Understand technology, data, users, current controls, obligations and areas of greatest exposure.
Prioritise
Translate findings into practical actions based on likelihood, business impact, urgency and budget.
Protect
Implement appropriate layers across identities, devices, email, networks, cloud services and data.
Monitor
Maintain visibility, investigate alerts, check coverage and provide a clear route for escalation.
Improve
Review performance, emerging risks, incidents and organisational change to guide the next priorities.
How much do managed cybersecurity services cost?
Pricing depends on the organisation's size, environment, existing controls, risk profile and level of monitoring required. A review allows Stratiis to recommend a proportionate service rather than applying a generic security bundle.

Business cybersecurity explained
Does a small business really need cybersecurity?
Yes. Automated attacks, phishing and stolen credentials affect organisations of every size. Smaller businesses often hold valuable data and may have fewer internal security resources.
Is antivirus enough to protect a business?
No. Antivirus is only one layer. Stronger protection also covers identities, email, cloud services, updates, backups, employee awareness, monitoring and incident response.
What is the most important cybersecurity control?
There is no single control that removes every risk. MFA, supported and patched systems, protected backups, least-privilege access and employee awareness form a strong practical foundation.
Do we need MFA on every account?
MFA should be applied consistently to important business services and especially to administrator, remote-access and Microsoft 365 accounts. Risk-based exceptions should be documented and tightly controlled.
Can Microsoft 365 be made more secure?
Yes. Security can be improved through MFA, Conditional Access, Defender, Intune, secure administrator roles, sharing policies, monitoring and regular configuration reviews.
What is the difference between cybersecurity and cyber resilience?
Cybersecurity focuses on preventing, detecting and responding to threats. Cyber resilience also considers how the organisation will continue or recover essential operations when disruption occurs.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme covering five technical control areas. Cyber Essentials Plus includes independent testing of the implemented controls.
How often should cybersecurity be reviewed?
Controls should be monitored continuously and reviewed formally at least annually, as well as after significant technology, staffing, supplier or business changes and following any incident.
What should we do if we suspect a cyber incident?
Report it immediately through your agreed support or incident route. Avoid deleting evidence or continuing risky activity, and follow the organisation's documented response plan.
Can Stratiis take over from our current provider?
Yes. A structured transition can document the environment, confirm access, review risk, establish priorities and maintain continuity while responsibilities move to Stratiis.
