Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity built into your IT, not bolted on later.

Small and growing businesses face the same threats as large ones, without the security team. We build the controls into the IT we already manage, run them every day, and tell you plainly where you stand.

  • Prevention, detection and recovery
  • 24/7 monitoring
  • UK & Portugal support
  • Identity firstMFA and conditional access as standard
  • Endpoint detectionThreats caught on the device
  • Patched, continuouslyThe cheapest control there is
  • RecoverableBackups you have actually restored

Technologies we work with

  • Microsoft
  • SOPHOS
  • Acronis
  • HPE
  • 3CX
  • UBIQUITI

What we put in place

The controls that stop most incidents

Most breaches at this size are not sophisticated. They are a password without MFA, an unpatched laptop, or a mailbox rule nobody noticed. These are the controls that close those routes.

Identity & access

Microsoft Entra ID, multi-factor authentication, conditional access and least-privilege admin.

Endpoint protection & EDR

Microsoft Defender or Sophos on every managed device, with alerts that reach a human.

Email security

Anti-phishing, link and attachment protection, impersonation rules and mailbox auditing.

Microsoft 365 hardening

Tenant configuration reviewed against Microsoft baselines, not left at the defaults.

Firewall & network

Managed firewall rules, segmentation and secure remote access for staff and suppliers.

Patch management

Operating systems and third-party software kept current on a schedule you can see.

Vulnerability management

Regular scanning, with findings triaged by risk rather than handed over as a raw list.

Security monitoring

Round-the-clock monitoring of security signals, with defined escalation when something fires.

Awareness & phishing

Short, practical training and simulated phishing so staff know what to look for.

Backup & recovery

Protected, off-site copies and tested restores — the control ransomware actually runs into.

Incident response

A defined process for containment, investigation, recovery and a written account afterwards.

Security assessments

A clear picture of where you are today, what matters most, and what it takes to fix it.

Zero Trust, in practice

Assume nothing. Verify everything. Keep working.

Zero Trust is not a product you buy. It is a set of decisions about who can reach what, from which device, under what conditions — applied consistently. For a business of 10 to 150 people, most of it is configuration you already own and are not yet using.

  • Every account protected by multi-factor authentication, including the admin ones
  • Company data reachable only from devices we manage and can prove are healthy
  • Administrative rights granted deliberately, not by default
  • Sign-ins evaluated on risk, location and device rather than password alone
  • Leavers removed from everything on the day they leave
  • Changes logged, so there is a record when a question comes up later

How we work

From unknown to under control.

  1. Assess

    We review identities, devices, Microsoft 365, network and backup, and write down what we find.

  2. Prioritise

    Findings are ranked by real risk to your business, with the quick wins separated from the projects.

  3. Implement

    We put the controls in place in a planned order, so security improves without stopping work.

  4. Operate

    Monitoring, patching, reviews and reporting continue as part of your managed service.

When something does happen

Incident response, without the improvising.

No set of controls reduces risk to zero. What separates a bad afternoon from a bad quarter is whether there is a plan, whether the backups restore, and whether someone answers the phone. We agree all three in advance.

What happens in the first hours

  • Detect and triageThe alert reaches a person, and severity is set against agreed criteria.
  • ContainAffected accounts and devices are isolated to stop the spread.
  • CommunicateYou get a named contact, a current picture and honest timing — not silence.
  • RecoverClean systems are restored from backups we have tested, in a planned order.
  • ReviewA written account of what happened, what was done and what changes as a result.

Why CaminhoIT

Security that someone actually runs.

Plenty of businesses have bought security tools. Far fewer have someone reviewing the alerts, closing the findings and testing the restores. Because we manage the IT as well, the controls are part of day-to-day operations rather than a separate product you are left to run yourself.

Questions

Cybersecurity questions we are asked most

We are small. Are we really a target?

Almost all attacks on businesses of this size are opportunistic rather than aimed at you specifically: automated password attacks, phishing sent to thousands of addresses, and exploitation of software that has not been patched. Being small does not keep you out of that net — it usually just means there is less in place to stop it.

Is Microsoft 365 not secure already?

Microsoft 365 contains a great deal of security capability, but a new tenant is configured for compatibility rather than for safety. Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, external sharing limits, mailbox auditing and retention all need deliberate configuration. The licences you already hold usually cover far more than is switched on.

Do you provide 24/7 security support?

Systems and security signals are monitored 24/7. The helpdesk is staffed during business hours, and priority or out-of-hours cover for critical incidents is available depending on your service level. We would rather set that out clearly than describe everything as 24/7.

Does this make us GDPR or NIS2 compliant?

No — and be wary of anyone who says it does. Compliance is an organisational obligation covering policy, governance and legal interpretation as well as technology. What we provide is the technical readiness underneath it: access control, encryption, logging, backup, incident handling and the documentation to evidence them. Where a formal legal or regulatory opinion is needed, you will need a specialist adviser.

What does a security review involve?

We look at identities and administrative access, device protection and patch status, Microsoft 365 configuration, network and remote access, and backup and recovery. You get a written summary of what is in place, what is missing, and a prioritised list of what to do about it — useful whether or not you go on to work with us.

Can you work alongside our existing IT provider?

Yes. Some clients ask us to assess and improve security while another provider continues to handle day-to-day support. It works best when responsibilities are written down clearly on both sides, which we will help you set out.
