Cyber Security
A layered, managed approach to cyber security — protecting your people, devices and data without slowing your business down.
Practical, layered protection for modern threats
Cyber security is fundamental to protecting your business, data and reputation. We help organisations implement practical, layered security controls across users, devices and infrastructure — including Microsoft‑native protections, endpoint security and best‑practice configuration — while supporting businesses through Cyber Essentials certification. Rather than relying on single tools or reactive measures, we provide ongoing oversight and improvement, so security is actively maintained as part of your wider IT environment.
- Layered security controls across users, devices and infrastructure
- Microsoft‑native protections and best‑practice configuration
- Support through Cyber Essentials certification
- Ongoing oversight, not one‑off tools or reactive fixes
Our cyber security specialists work with organisations to strengthen their security posture, reduce risk and implement practical protection measures. From endpoint security and Microsoft 365 security through to Cyber Essentials support, we help organisations build layered protection that aligns with the way they operate. Alongside our managed services, we also provide cyber security consultancy and advice for organisations planning a wider security strategy.
Mobile Device Management
Mobile devices are now a core part of how people work — but without the right controls, they can introduce security and compliance risks. Our mobile device management (MDM) services protect company data across smartphones and tablets without restricting productivity, including encryption, remote lock or wipe capabilities, and application controls to separate business and personal data. Policies are configured in line with best practice and reviewed as your environment evolves, so mobile working stays flexible, secure and compliant.
- Protects company data across smartphones and tablets
- Encryption, remote lock and wipe capabilities
- Separates business and personal data where required
- Policies reviewed as your environment evolves
Endpoint Security & Threat Protection
Modern cyber attacks frequently target laptops, desktops, servers and user accounts rather than traditional network perimeters, making endpoint protection a critical part of any cyber security strategy. ACT Systems delivers this through ESET’s security stack, combined with expert oversight for organisations that need it.
- Endpoint and server protection via ESET Protect Complete
- Email protection against phishing and malicious attachments via ESET Cloud Office Security
- Managed Detection and Response (MDR) through ESET’s specialist security team
- Full Security Operations Centre (SOC) option using Microsoft Defender, for advanced monitoring and response needs

Frequently Asked Questions
What cyber security services does ACT Systems provide?
ACT Systems provides a layered approach to cyber security, helping businesses protect users, devices, Microsoft 365 environments, email, data and core systems. Services may include Cyber Essentials support, email protection, cloud protection, endpoint security, backup and practical security guidance.
Can ACT Systems help with Cyber Essentials certification?
Yes. ACT Systems can help organisations prepare for Cyber Essentials by reviewing relevant technical controls, identifying gaps and supporting improvements needed for certification. This includes practical advice around areas such as access control, malware protection, secure configuration, patching and network security.
What is endpoint security and why does it matter?
Endpoint security protects devices such as laptops, desktops and servers from threats including malware, ransomware and suspicious activity. Because users and devices are common entry points for attacks, endpoint protection is an important part of a layered cyber security approach.
What is managed threat detection?
ACT Systems provides endpoint and server protection using ESET Protect Complete, alongside ESET Cloud Office Security for email spam filtering and protection. For managed detection and response (MDR), ESET’s specialist team investigates security logs and activity to identify suspicious behaviour across your devices. Where a business needs a full Security Operations Centre (SOC) solution, ACT Systems also supports and utilises Microsoft Defender as part of that offering.
Do you only support ESET security solutions?
No. While ESET technologies form a core part of ACT Systems’ security offering, we also support Microsoft security technologies including Microsoft Defender and can recommend solutions based on an organisation’s requirements, risk profile and existing technology investments.
Do you provide email security protection?
Yes. ACT Systems provides email protection through Anti-Spam Protection, powered by ESET Cloud Office Security, designed to reduce exposure to spam, phishing attempts and email-based threats. This helps protect users and reduce the risk of account compromise or malicious messages reaching inboxes.
Can cyber security services help protect Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft 365 is central to many organisations, so it is important to secure access, email, identity, files and user behaviour. ACT Systems can support Microsoft 365 protection through a combination of security configuration, email protection, backup, monitoring and user-focused controls.
