Security is not a separate product. It is how your IT is run.
Identity, devices, email, data and the configuration that holds them together, secured by the same team that manages them.
For a wealth management or accountancy firm, the security of client data is not a technical footnote. It underwrites the trust your clients place in you and the obligations you carry to the FCA and the ICO. The firms we look after rarely want a lecture on threats. They want to know that the fundamentals are in place, that someone competent is accountable for them, and that they could explain their position to a regulator or an insurer without hesitation. That is the standard we build to.
We do not split IT and security into two conversations. The decision to enrol a device, set up a mailbox or grant access is a security decision as much as an IT one, so we make it once and make it deliberately. When we take a firm on we document what exists, remove what is not needed, and bring the configuration to a standard we are prepared to put our name against. We refuse to inherit chaos and maintain it.
- Layered defences, so that if one control is bypassed others still stand: managed identity and access, endpoint protection, email filtering, firewalls and patching
- Independent backup of your data, so information can be recovered from a clean copy rather than relying on a single live system
- Cyber Essentials guidance that brings the configuration up to standard first, then takes you through certification
- Regular review of the configuration, because a posture that is right today drifts if it is left alone
Cyber security sits inside our managed service plans rather than being sold as a bolt-on. Every plan carries a security baseline as standard, and the deeper capabilities, such as managed detection, vulnerability scanning and a fractional CIO or CTO, build on it as a firm grows. You can see how they sit across the tiers on our plans page.
Novix IT is Cyber Essentials Plus certified, with ISO 27001 certification in progress for 2026, and as a Microsoft Solutions Partner we manage identity and access in Microsoft 365 to the same standard. Our work is covered by the 90-day money-back guarantee on Novix services, and for in-contract clients the initial response window is 15 to 25 minutes.

Questions leadership teams ask about cyber security
We treat them as one. The way your IT is set up and the way it is secured are the same decisions seen from two angles, so we run them as a single conversation rather than selling security as a bolt-on. Our managed plans include a security baseline as standard, and the deeper capabilities build on that rather than sitting apart from it.
For many regulated firms it is becoming a practical baseline: it shows clients and insurers that the fundamentals are in place, and it is often asked for during tenders and due diligence. Novix IT is Cyber Essentials Plus certified ourselves, and we guide client firms through their own certification, bringing the configuration up to the standard first so the assessment confirms what is already true.
No single control. We layer defences so that if one is bypassed others still stand: managed identity and access, endpoint protection, email filtering, firewalls, patching, and independent backup of your data. We monitor for suspicious activity and review the configuration over time, because a security posture that is right today drifts if it is left alone.
You contact us and we help you work out what has actually happened before anyone reacts to it. For in-contract clients the initial response window is 15 to 25 minutes. We contain the issue, recover from clean backups where needed, and tell you plainly what we found and what we have changed so it does not recur. A suspected breach is a prompt to act calmly, not a reason to panic.
