Our services
We offer a practical, layered approach to cyber security — addressing the controls that make the biggest difference for small and medium businesses.
We guide you through the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials certification process — from gap analysis and remediation to submission and certification. Required by many public sector contracts.
Enterprise-grade antivirus, anti-malware and endpoint detection and response (EDR) deployed and managed across all your devices — Windows, Mac and mobile.
Advanced email filtering to block phishing, spam and malicious attachments before they reach your users. Includes DMARC, DKIM and SPF configuration.
MFA rollout across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other business applications. One of the most effective controls against account compromise.
Regular automated scans of your network and systems to identify vulnerabilities before attackers do. Findings are prioritised and remediated systematically.
Simulated phishing campaigns and staff awareness training to reduce the risk of human error — the most common entry point for cyber attacks.
Clear, practical security policies tailored to your business — covering acceptable use, password management, data handling, incident response and more.
If the worst happens, we help you respond quickly and effectively — containing the incident, preserving evidence, restoring systems and notifying the right people.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that demonstrates your business has the basic security controls in place to protect against the most common cyber threats. It is required for many public sector contracts and increasingly expected by enterprise clients.
We manage the entire process — from gap analysis and remediation to submission and certification. Most businesses achieve certification within four to six weeks.
We assess your current security posture against the five Cyber Essentials controls and identify what needs to change.
We implement the required controls — firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patch management.
We help you complete the Cyber Essentials self-assessment questionnaire accurately and confidently.
Your submission is reviewed by a certification body. We support you through any queries and help you achieve certification.
The five controls
Boundary firewalls and internet gateways configured to protect your network.
Devices and software configured securely, with unnecessary features disabled.
User accounts with appropriate privileges and strong authentication.
Antivirus and malware protection deployed and kept up to date.
Software and operating systems patched and updated within 14 days of release.
Cyber Essentials Plus includes an independent technical verification of your controls. We support both the standard and Plus variants of the certification.

“After a near-miss security incident, we brought In4ra in to review our security posture. They identified several critical gaps and had them remediated within two weeks. We feel much more confident now.”
