Practical cybersecurity services for UK SMEs
Baseline reviews, managed monitoring, vulnerability visibility, Cyber Essentials readiness, and incident support — combined into one clear security programme.

Incident support
Coverage built around the risks SMEs actually face
Most incidents start with basics: weak accounts, unpatched systems, unclear ownership, and no response plan. Crywex turns those areas into a manageable security programme.
Visibility and Monitoring
You can't protect what you can't see. We bring your security signals together across devices, servers, and key cloud apps so there is one clear view of what's happening.
Jump to sectionHardening and Vulnerability Management
Most breaches start with the basics: out-of-date software, weak configurations, and known vulnerabilities left unpatched.
Jump to sectionAccount and Access Security
Stolen and reused passwords are one of the most common ways attackers get in. Strong account security is one of the highest-value, lowest-cost improvements a business can make.
Jump to sectionBackup and Resilience Checks
Backups only help if they actually work when you need them. Many businesses assume they're covered until a restore fails during a real incident.
Jump to sectionIncident Readiness and Support
When something goes wrong, the first few hours matter. Knowing who to call and what to do removes panic and reduces the damage.

Cyber Essentials is a recognised UK baseline that helps demonstrate you take security seriously — and it's increasingly asked for in client and supplier due diligence.

Visibility and Monitoring
You can't protect what you can't see. We bring your security signals together across devices, servers, and key cloud apps so there is one clear view of what's happening.
Using Wazuh-powered monitoring, we watch for suspicious activity and surface what genuinely matters — reviewed by people, not just forwarded as raw alerts.
What’s included
- Endpoint and server monitoring
- Suspicious-activity detection
- Alert review and prioritisation
- Monthly plain-English visibility report
- Clear escalation path when something looks wrong
Hardening and Vulnerability Management
Most breaches start with the basics: out-of-date software, weak configurations, and known vulnerabilities left unpatched.
We identify where you're exposed, rank issues by real-world risk, and give you a prioritised fix plan you can actually work through.
What’s included
- Vulnerability and misconfiguration visibility
- Security configuration checks
- Patch and update guidance
- Risk-ranked priority fix plan
- Progress tracking over time
Account and Access Security
Stolen and reused passwords are one of the most common ways attackers get in. Strong account security is one of the highest-value, lowest-cost improvements a business can make.
We review how accounts and access are set up, and help you close the gaps — starting with multi-factor authentication on the accounts that matter most.
What’s included
- Multi-factor authentication review
- Admin and privileged-access checks
- Joiner, mover, and leaver access review
- Password and identity hygiene guidance
- Cloud app access review
Backup and Resilience Checks
Backups only help if they actually work when you need them. Many businesses assume they're covered until a restore fails during a real incident.
We check that your backups exist, are protected, and can be restored — so recovery is something you've tested, not something you're hoping for.
What’s included
- Backup coverage review
- Restore-test guidance
- Ransomware resilience checks
- Recovery expectations in plain English
- Practical improvement recommendations
Incident Readiness and Support
When something goes wrong, the first few hours matter. Knowing who to call and what to do removes panic and reduces the damage.
We help you prepare a simple response plan in advance, and we're there to help triage, explain the risk, and guide your response if an incident happens.
What’s included
- Simple incident response plan
- Clear roles and contacts
- Triage and risk explanation support
- First-response guidance
- Post-incident review and lessons learned
Cyber Essentials Readiness
Cyber Essentials is a recognised UK baseline that helps demonstrate you take security seriously — and it's increasingly asked for in client and supplier due diligence.
We help you understand the five controls, find the gaps, and prepare your environment before you apply through an authorised certification route. Crywex is not a certification body.
