Cyber Security for Irish Small Businesses

Most attacks on small businesses are not clever. They rely on a reused password, a convincing email or a laptop that missed its updates. We close those gaps, watch your systems around the clock and step in fast if something gets through.

Where Attacks Start

Most Cyber Attacks Begin With Something Ordinary

You do not need to be a big company to be a target. Attackers go after whatever is easiest to get into, and small businesses often make that easy without knowing it. These are the six ways in we see most.

Stolen Passwords

A password reused from another website, or typed into a fake login page, lets someone read your email and files as if they were you.

We stop it with sign-in codes on every account.

Invoice and Payment Fraud

A criminal gets into a mailbox, waits for an invoice to go out, then emails your customer new bank details. It is one of the most costly scams aimed at Irish businesses.

We stop it with account protection, email filtering and staff training.

Ransomware

Harmful software locks every file on your computers and demands payment. Without a good backup, work stops until you pay or rebuild.

We stop it with watched protection on every computer and separate backups.

Out-of-Date Computers

Computers that have missed updates have known weaknesses, and attackers use automated tools to find them.

We stop it by updating and checking every device on a schedule.

Missing Backups

Many businesses assume Microsoft or Google keeps a copy of everything. They keep the service running, but deleted or encrypted data is often gone for good.

We fix it with a separate daily copy of your email and files.

Old Accounts and Too Much Access

Former staff who can still log in, or everyone having access to everything, turns one stolen password into a much bigger problem.

We fix it by switching off leavers on their last day and limiting access.

What's Included

Protection That Runs in the Background

Cyber security is built into our managed IT, not sold as an extra. This is what it covers, in plain terms.

Protection on Every Computer

Security software on every laptop, desktop and server we manage. It spots attacks by how they behave, not just by matching a list of known viruses.

Watched Around the Clock

Security specialists watch for warning signs day and night. If a computer is attacked at 3am, it can be cut off from your network at 3am.

Account Protection

Sign-in codes set up for every account. Extra monitoring that flags suspicious logins and stolen passwords is available if you need it.

Scam Email Filtering

Scam emails and harmful attachments are filtered out before they reach your staff. Stronger email protection is available if you are a frequent target.

A Clear Picture of Your Risk

An in-depth cyber security review when you join, so you know where you stand and what we are fixing first.

Staff Training and Recovery Planning

Short training that helps your team spot scams, and a plan for how you would recover from an attack. Both are available as add-ons.

Why Solida

Security and IT, Looked After by the Same Team

Most security problems are really IT problems: a missed update, a leaver who can still log in, a backup nobody checked. Because we look after your IT every day, we see these things and fix them, instead of handing you a report and walking away.

You get one team to call, one agreement and advice in plain English. Behind us sits a specialist security team watching around the clock, so a small business gets the kind of protection larger firms pay a full security department for.

If the Worst Happens

What Happens If You Are Attacked

The first priority is stopping the spread. The affected computer is cut off from your network automatically as soon as the attack is spotted, even in the middle of the night.

Then we secure any accounts that may be involved, find out what happened and how it got in, and restore anything that was damaged from your backups. Throughout, you get clear updates from a person who knows your business, and advice on anything you may need to report.

What we do

  • Cut off the affected computer
  • Reset passwords and secure accounts
  • Restore files and email from backup
  • Explain what happened in plain English
  • Close the gap so it cannot happen the same way again

Cyber Security FAQ

Cyber Security Without the Jargon

Straight answers to the questions business owners ask us most.

It means your security is looked after as an ongoing service instead of being set up once and forgotten. We install and maintain the protection, watch for problems around the clock, keep everything updated and review it as threats change.
No. Most attacks are automated and aimed at whoever is easiest to get into, not at big names. Small businesses rely on email, online banking and cloud files just as much as large ones, and often have fewer protections in place.
Antivirus looks for known viruses. Most attacks on small businesses now use stolen passwords, scam emails or normal-looking tools that antivirus does not flag. Modern protection watches how things behave, and a person checks what it finds.
The affected computer is cut off from your network straight away so the attack cannot spread. We then secure your accounts, find out what happened, restore anything damaged from backup and keep you updated throughout.
Yes. Protection on every computer, round-the-clock monitoring and email filtering come with every managed IT agreement. Extra account monitoring, stronger email protection, staff training and recovery planning are available if you need more.
A detailed look at how your accounts, computers, email, network and backups are actually set up, followed by a short report with clear priorities. Every new client gets one when they join. For a quick first look, try our free 2-minute cyber security self-check.
Yes. We can take on security, monitoring and updates so your IT person has specialist backup and more time for everything else.
NIS2 is an EU cyber security law. It applies directly to medium and large organisations in certain sectors, and many smaller firms are now asked about it by the customers they supply. Our review shows where you stand and what to fix first.
Yes. Account protection and backup work the same way on both, so you get the same level of protection whichever one you use.
