Most people can't tell a fake login page from a real one.

Realistic phishing simulations, bite-sized lessons, and the confidence to pause and question before they click — because the best security tool in the world still needs a human who knows what to look for.

Someone on your team is still typing the same password everywhere.

Out tools generate a strong, unique password for every single account and store it in an encrypted vault, sharing it securely across your team with 2FA codes filled in automatically too — so no one's writing logins on a sticky note or reusing "Company123!" for the fifth account this year.

Your domain can be faked without anyone noticing.

Authentication records — DMARC, SPF and DKIM — tell the world's email servers exactly who's allowed to send as you, so a spoofed message from "your business" gets rejected before it reaches anyone's inbox.

Your cloud data isn't backed up.

Not by Microsoft, anyway. We back up your email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams data independently — three times a day — so a deleted file, a corrupted folder or a ransomware attack is a five-minute restore, not a permanent loss.

Microsoft 365 Monitoring: The login came from a country the business had never traded with.

Without monitoring, it would have gone unnoticed for weeks. We flagged it within minutes — because we're always watching, even when nobody else is.

Real risks, real consequences. From tomorrow, find out exactly how each pillar works.

It looked exactly like an invoice from their usual supplier.

A finance team paid it without a second thought — until the real supplier called asking where their money was. Phishing scams are built to look ordinary. We filter it out before it lands — catching what the eye can't.

Is your business missing opportunities?

For SMEs across Birmingham and the West Midlands, Cyber Essentials is more than just a certification: it’s a powerful tool for financial resilience. Statistics show that businesses with Cyber Essentials see a staggering 92% reduction in insurance claims.

In today’s landscape, cyber insurance premiums are rising, but your risk doesn’t have to. By implementing these core security controls, you’re not just ticking a box; you’re protecting your bottom line and making your business a much harder target for attackers.

At Discus Systems PLC, we specialise in making this process seamless. We handle the entire implementation of Cyber Essentials, ensuring your security is robust without causing any business disruption. Our team has over 25 years of experience supporting professional services, from law firms to accountants, right here in the West Midlands.

Did you know 76% of cyber breaches exploit the same 10 vulnerabilities?

Most attacks aren't high-tech heists; they’re just hackers walking through "unlocked doors." We're talking about missed updates, old patches, and basic setup errors.

In the industry, we call it IT hygiene. Just like a clean office, a tidy digital environment is your best defence against a major incident.

The good news? You don’t have to handle the "housekeeping" yourself.

At Discus Systems, we include these security basics in our standard support. We patch the gaps hackers love to exploit before they cause trouble. We’ve been supporting SMEs across Birmingham and the West Midlands for over 25 years, making sure your tech stays a tool for growth, not a point of failure.

Is your business’s IT hygiene up to scratch?

Let’s chat. Get in touch today for a quick check-up.

Birmingham’s SMEs are facing a silent threat: cyber attacks are costing local businesses £347 million every year. Shockingly, 32% of these businesses still have zero protection in place: and yet, most don't see cyber risk as a top priority.

The reality is, whatever your sector, cyber attacks aren't just an inconvenience: they can disrupt operations, damage reputation and impact your bottom line.

Don’t wait for a wake-up call. If your business is still on the fence about cyber protection, now’s the time to act.

UK business owners and directors could soon face more personal liability when cyber security goes wrong.

That’s a big shift: cyber risk is no longer just an “IT problem”: it’s governance, accountability, and evidence.

If you’re leading a business in Solihull, Coventry, Birmingham or anywhere in the West Midlands, ask yourself:

• Can we show we’ve taken “reasonable steps” to protect the business?
• Do we have the right controls, monitoring, backups and incident process in place?
• Could we prove it quickly if a customer, insurer or regulator asked tomorrow?

At Discus Systems PLC, our Cyber Security 7 package is built to help leaders put the right protections (and oversight) around cyber risk: without disrupting the business.

Want a quick governance + security review to see where you stand?
