Phishing simulations help you find out how people respond in the real world and where extra support is needed.

A few tips for making them genuinely useful:

🎣 Use realistic scenarios based on the emails your team actually receives
🔁 Run simulations regularly, not just once a year
🎯 Give short, targeted training straight after someone clicks
📊 Track reporting rates as well as clicks - spotting and reporting a threat is the behaviour you want to build
🤝 Support repeat clickers rather than embarrassing or punishing them

The aim isn’t to catch people out. It’s to help them recognise a real attack before it causes damage.

We’ve explained how phishing simulation training works, what a good programme should include and what to measure here:

Three words from a client... probably the best compliment a professional services team can get.

Not because the work was easy.

But because the client didn't have to carry the stress of it.

In a world where everyone's calendar is full and their to-do list is growing faster than they can clear it, clients don't want complexity. They want experts who can take a problem off their desk, get it sorted, and keep things moving.

No drama. No endless meetings. No technical waffle.

Just results.

The best project delivery isn't about showing clients how hard the work is. It's about making the hard work feel effortless.

That's what great IT Support should look like in 2026. 💪

🏢 Multiple sites. Multiple users. Multiple security challenges.

That's why we're proud to have helped Greendale Group achieve Cyber Essentials certification, strengthening cyber security across its organisation and providing assurance that essential protections are in place across every location.

The reality is that Cyber Essentials becomes more complex as businesses grow. Our team specialises in helping multi-site organisations assess their security posture, address gaps and achieve certification efficiently, without unnecessary disruption.

Congratulations to the Greendale team on this fantastic milestone. 👏

⚽ Business networking really shouldn’t be this much fun…
Friday night saw the latest Funder Games event: football. And it’s fair to say things got slightly competitive. 😂

We had not one but TWO teams representing us – Nexus and the Nexus Misfits, in partnership with the awesome guys at Triangle Networks.

We brought along family and children to bolster our teams there was plenty of questionable footballing talent on display, and somehow the evening ended with the fixture nobody knew they needed…

Nexus vs Nexus Misfits in the play-off for the bottom spot. 🏆

And we’re delighted to confirm that Nexus brought home the bottom place win. We’ll leave you to decide exactly what that means. 😂

Joking aside, it was another brilliant Funder Games event (even despite the gutting news that our friends at progressive couldn't make it 😭 ) .

Local businesses getting together, having a laugh, bringing families along and building relationships away from the usual networking environment.

And the best bit? It’s all helping raise money for Hospiscare. 💙

Business networking really shouldn’t be this fun… but we’re very glad it is!

That word discreet really matters to us.
Our engineers are trusted with access to our clients’ systems, environments and sometimes highly sensitive business information. With that access comes a huge amount of responsibility.

Technical expertise is essential, of course. But so is professionalism. Knowing when to ask questions, what shouldn’t be discussed, respecting what you see and hear on-site, and treating every client’s information with complete confidentiality.

It’s something we expect from every Nexus engineer, so it’s brilliant when clients notice it too.

And a special shout-out to Zac, who has been receiving an incredible amount of positive feedback from clients this month. 👏

Helpful, professional, discreet and clearly making a great impression.

Nice work, Zac! 💪

You’ve invested in cyber security. But who’s actually watching it at 2am? 👀

Firewalls, endpoint protection, MFA and security tools are essential. But technology alone doesn’t guarantee a threat will be spotted, or acted on quickly enough.

That’s the visibility gap a Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) is designed to close.

A Managed SOC gives your business 24/7 security monitoring and specialist expertise, actively looking for suspicious activity and responding when something doesn’t look right.

That means:
🔎 Threats identified sooner
⚡ Faster investigation and response
🛡️ 24/7 monitoring - including nights, weekends and holidays
🧠 Security specialists supporting your internal IT team
📉 Less reliance on someone noticing the right alert at the right time

Because when it comes to a cyber incident, the time between an attacker getting in and your business spotting them matters.

So perhaps the question isn’t “Do we have cyber security?”

It’s “Who’s watching it, and what happens when they spot something?”

We’ve broken down what a Managed SOC is, how it works and when businesses should consider one:

Another day, another fundraising challenge... 🚣‍♂️💙
This time it was down to Exeter Quay for the latest Funder Games event – and what a stunning evening for it! The wind certainly made things interesting, but our rowing duo Julian Dean and Mitchell Faulkner gave it absolutely everything, powering their way to a brilliant 4th place. 💪

Of course, we can't forget our four-legged team member... 🐶 Ruby was there cheering the boys on and providing some much-needed moral support. We'd like to think she played a small part in the result too! ❤️

It's been an absolute privilege for Nexus to be the Headline Sponsor of this year's Funder Games. From dodgeball and bowling to golf, and now rowing, it's been an incredible series of events that has brought the South West business community together while raising vital funds for the amazing Hospiscare.

And we're not done yet, we still have a few games to enjoy and...

🎩 Licence to Party: The Funder Ball is just around the corner and promises to be the grand finale of this year's games. If you haven't booked your tickets yet, don't leave it too late – we'd love to see you there for an unforgettable evening, all in support of an incredible cause.

Well done to everyone who took to the water – and an extra pat on the head for Ruby. 🐾💙

🥇 WE FINALLY DID IT! 🥇
After plenty of trying (and a fair bit of friendly rivalry), Team Nexus finally brought home the win at last night's Devon Business League race at Raceworld Karting! 🏆
Now, before anyone asks... yes, we did buy our way to the top. 😅 But that's exactly the point! Every bid helped raise money for an incredible cause, making the victory even sweeter ❤️

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part and helped raise an amazing £3,385 for Hospiscare. 👏

The Buy & Sell Challenge is always one of the highlights of the Devon Business League calendar – competitive, chaotic, full of laughs, and all in support of a charity that means so much to our community.

As always, the Raceworld Ltd team delivered another stunning event - these guys know how to create such a unique networking environment 👏

Thanks to everyone who dug deep, bid big and made it another brilliant evening.

Same time next year? We'll be back to defend our title... 😉💪
