IT Security Specialists in Lancashire

Cyber security is about far more than firewalls and viruses. It embraces many different aspects of a business, from systems design to individual behaviour. Our IT security audits will identify any risk areas and give you the full picture.

A failure at any stage can present a real risk to your operations, but at AMP, we know precisely what it takes to keep a business secure. When we conduct a security audit within your organisation, it’s geared to identifying risks and vulnerabilities, and to giving you the information you need to defend yourself effectively. Our security audits cover:

Data backup is something that no business can afford to neglect. Our Managed Backup service will safeguard your critical business data and minimise the possibility of data loss.

Data can easily be lost through human error, such as file deletion, or by accident – such as data corruption or hardware failure. Having a secure backup in place will help protect business-critical data, minimising risk to your operations.

Our managed backup service works quietly and consistently in the background so, the chances are, you’ll rarely be aware that anything at all is happening. The process has a minimal ‘footprint’ and should cause no noticeable slowing or disturbance to your systems.

The service can be tailored to your needs but it will typically offer comprehensive coverage – extending to your servers and your workstations. The data itself is securely relayed to a remote server that keeps it secure and readily available, even in the event of a catastrophic incident at your premises. Allow us to handle the configuration and set up the scheduling, and your data backup system should become a great asset to the business.

Companies’ systems and data can potentially be at risk from natural disasters such as flooding, from accidents, from criminal acts such as theft and arson and, of course, from cyber attack. To counter these threats, it is important that you develop a disaster recovery plan.

As part of our client safeguarding work, we offer practical, expert advice and standalone backup solutions. Our security and disaster recovery assessments include a review of your business continuity measures. We’ll identify any weaknesses in your policies and practices, and we’ll advise you on your options for adopting best practice. We’ll also suggest improvements that will give you that critical last line of defence against a successful attack.

You’ll have the reassurance of knowing that your business can recover from such an incident within a commercially acceptable timeframe. Our support team will be there to help you recover, in a calm and efficient manner. We’ll get you operational as quickly as possible. Basically, we’ll be there when you need us most.

Viruses, ransomware and other forms of malicious software are prevalent in the digital world, and even the wariest of companies can sometimes fall prey to them.  If that happens, then it’s important to get help quickly, to minimise the risk of data loss and to prevent further security breaches.
