Cyber Security Services in Leicester
Creating resilient defenses against cyber threats can feel daunting, especially in light of increasingly sophisticated phishing attacks. The government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey showed that 93% of large businesses and 84% of medium businesses reported phishing attacks in 2023. Your internal teams may lack the resources or expertise required to deal with cyber attacks and despite the very real threat that phishing poses to businesses today, almost 1 in 5 organisations only deliver phishing awareness training to their employees once per year. This is why seeking specialised external cyber security expertise becomes crucial.
At Sharp, we craft robust cyber security strategies that empower organisations to stay ahead of growing threats. Our approach involves an initial assessment of your current cybersecurity strategy with our Complete Security Audit, followed by the implementation of protective measures to minimise vulnerabilities to potential attacks. We maintain a proactive stance throughout this process, implementing effective solutions to safeguard your organisation, clients, personnel, and data.
In addition to our proactive cyber security measures, we strongly emphasise security awareness training. The weakest link in cyber security often lies with the people within an organisation. In essence, a security-aware team essentially forms a human firewall, serving as the first line of defense in safeguarding your organisation. We offer guidance on obtaining accreditations such as Cyber Essentials and foster a security-oriented culture throughout your organisation.
Our Cyber Security Services portfolio includes:
- Complete Security Audit
- Firewall Protection
- Email Security Services
- Endpoint Security
- Backup and Disaster Recovery
- Cyber Essentials as a Service
At Sharp, our team of plain-speaking technical experts will assist you in developing a robust cyber strategy, and implementing the necessary solutions to keep your business protected from evolving threats.

Considering the pivotal role IT plays in modern organisations, the selection of a reliable partner with the appropriate expertise is paramount. It is essential to ensure that you receive tailored guidance for your investment, alleviating the burden on both you and your teams.
By trusting a reputable provider such as Sharp to oversee your IT, you and your team can redirect your focus toward the broader objectives—business growth and development. This shift allows you to concentrate on strategic aspects while we manage the intricacies of your IT infrastructure.
Our helpdesk support center operates from 8 am to 6 pm on weekdays. However, we understand that IT issues can arise at any time. Acknowledging the potential need for additional assistance beyond regular hours, we provide an optional 24/7 helpdesk service.
Ensuring uninterrupted operations is crucial, as even minor glitches in your IT system can disrupt your organisation. Our helpdesk serves as a comprehensive support hub, manned by local experts prepared to quickly and effectively handle any issues that may arise. In cases where remote resolution is not possible, our escalation procedure ensures a prompt resolution.
All kinds of organisations are now embracing cloud solutions. Moving away from on-premise and server-based infrastructure to cloud-based solutions can be daunting if you don't have existing experience or knowledge within your organisation. We aid clients in this transition, ensuring they enjoy the all advantages of cloud migration, without any confusion:
The benefits of cloud solutions include:
- Security
- Flexibility
- Scalability
- Increased Performance
- Cost Savings
- Productivity
Whether you've encountered a malicious cyber attack or an unforeseen disaster, a swift recovery of your IT systems is crucial to minimise the impact on your organisation. At Sharp, we are committed to aiding you in preparing for such unexpected situations.
Through our Backup and Disaster Recovery service, we ensure you are prepared for any eventuality with a robust IT disaster recovery plan. This comprehensive plan addresses potential risks to your data arising from technical issues, cyber attacks, human error, or natural disasters.
An effective disaster recovery plan encompasses goals, responsibilities, inventory, and procedures. We provide you with the necessary tools, recommending backup solutions to safeguard your data. In the unfortunate event of a worst-case scenario, you can have peace of mind, knowing your data and systems are well-protected.
In a comprehensive cyber security strategy, network firewalls serve as a crucial element, acting as the first line of defence for your business systems and sensitive data. This essential defensive measure guarantees that only authorised and secure communications are permitted access to your network, effectively reducing the potential risks posed by cyber threats.
Incorporating network firewall security into your overarching cyber security plan is a strategic step that strengthens your organisation's resilience against the constantly changing threat landscape. This proactive approach not only protects your digital infrastructure and maintains the integrity of your business operations but also guarantees the confidentiality of your critical data.
Navigating technology and IT investment decisions can be overwhelming for organisations lacking the right guidance or internal expertise. In fact, 64% of IT decision makers in UK SMEs admit to lacking knowledge when it comes to IT hardware and 63% admit to lacking the right knowledge when it comes to IT software.
This statistic brings to light the issues SMEs face when making software investment decisions, resulting in potential time and financial losses. It also emphasises the importance of consulting with experts to ensure that the software you choose is not only secure but also operationally sound.
Furthermore, it's imperative for your software to demonstrate a return on investment. This is why we provide support to help you maximise the benefits of your IT and technology, ensuring you harness the efficiency and productivity gains that come with new software.
Being a member of the Microsoft Partner Network grants us access to a diverse range of software products, pricing, and expertise. This ensures that we select the right software tailored to your needs and those of your organisation.
Whether it's cloud-based accounting, virtual desktops, business applications, ERP, or Power BI, our team of experts are well-equipped to advise you on the essential software for your organisation.
Whether it's hybrid or remote working and learning, it's crucial that your organisation employs and maximises the appropriate IT and technology for seamless remote collaboration.
Empowering your employees to work securely from any location is paramount. Our Unified Communication portfolio facilitates this, encompassing cloud-based software, telephony, and video conferencing. We collaborate with you to establish the optimal balance, aiming to ensure your readiness and adaptation to modern and hybrid working environments.
Sharp's email security services are specifically formulated to safeguard your business's email communications, services, and accounts, preventing unauthorised access or compromise.
Email remains a primary avenue for cybercriminals to infiltrate systems, execute phishing attacks, extort companies, and deploy destructive malware. Businesses need to shield this valuable source of private information and educate their teams on recognising and thwarting attacks. This protects your reputation and reduces the risk of potential fines.
Sharp's email security services are intricately designed to ensure the comprehensive protection of your business's email communications, services, and accounts, warding off unauthorised access or compromise in the process.
