Blue-Team and Red-Team Cybersecurity for Small Businesses
Attackers look for the one thing you missed. I test your website, network, servers, databases and accounts the way an attacker would, then harden them the way a defender should. You get a plain-English report of what I found and a prioritised plan to fix it, backed by CompTIA Security+ and CCNA certification and over 15 years in IT.
What's included
- Red team: authorised testing of websites, networks, servers and databases for weaknesses
- Checks for exposed passwords, leaked credentials and risky misconfigurations
- Blue team: hardening of servers, firewalls, VPNs, WiFi and cloud accounts
- Database access controls, backups and encryption reviewed and tightened
- Monitoring and alerting so suspicious activity gets noticed
- A written, prioritised remediation plan in plain English
Who it's for
- Small businesses that hold customer data and want to know where they stand
- Companies with their own websites, servers or databases
- Holiday properties, NGOs and teams that need security they can show to others
How an engagement works
Scoping call
We agree exactly what is in scope, written permission for testing, and the times that suit you.
Red-team testing
I probe your systems for weaknesses using lawful, authorised methods, without disrupting your business.
Blue-team hardening
I fix or help you fix what I found, starting with the risks that matter most.
Report and retest
You receive a plain-English report, and I retest to confirm the fixes hold.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between blue team and red team?
Red team means testing your defences the way an attacker would. Blue team means strengthening and monitoring those defences. I do both, so the findings turn straight into fixes.
Is the testing legal and safe?
Yes. I only test systems you own or are authorised to have tested, with written permission and an agreed scope, and I plan the work to avoid downtime.
What do you test?
Websites, office and property networks, cloud and on-premise servers, databases, email and user accounts, and anything else we agree is in scope.
How much does it cost?
Every engagement is scoped and fixed-quoted after a short call. The price varies depending on scope and requirements, mainly how many systems are involved.
