Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's domiciliary care agencies could expose client addresses, key-safe codes and care schedules, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.
