The Unite Group is ready to keep you and your business secure.
It’s almost 15 years since directors Paul Sykes, Callum McDougall, Dean Dixon and Mike Tennant set up The Unite Group.
A lot has changed for the company since then
but the world of computers, the internet, telecoms and…in particular…the threat of cyber attacks, is unrecognisable.
Think of what you were doing 15 years ago and how you were using technology for either your own personal use or how your company was using it. Online banking, shopping, emails, social media, personal data, accounts…they’re now something we take for granted. We easily do all of this from home, work or on the move via a mobile phone or tablet.
But have you been keeping pace with the sort of security you need to prevent theft, ransom or a malicious attack?
This is why you need to have a chat with the guys at The Unite Group. They can help you with your security, but they can also take care of any IT and telecoms issues. They can even help you with your digital marketing from the team at Social Plus who make up the group.
“Having various divisions within the company to look after Cyber Security and IT, Telecoms and Digital Marketing means that we can look after everything under one roof because all three invariably work hand in hand,” said director Paul Sykes. “We also try to make accessing these as simple as possible for clients because we operate a straightforward pricing policy on our services so that customers can understand costs. It means clients can budget over a set period and know precisely what they’re paying for and how much.”
If you needed any sort of stamp of credibility about The Unite Group, they’re in the top 100 SME businesses worldwide for providing Microsoft security products and as such were invited to a three day security conference called the Microsoft Security Scholarship with senior directors from Microsoft in attendance.
They will also be attending the Cyber Security Exhibition in Birmingham next month. Their stand is on the IASME pod. IASME is the UK Government’s Cyber Security body that oversees Cyber Essentials as well as certifications and the various processes needed to meet the right criteria to show that you and/or your firm is secure.
“The Unite Group are Cyber Essentials assessors. This means that we can guide a business on how to secure their IT against cyber attack. In a lot of cases…including Government contracts…companies will need to have Cyber Essentials certification if they want to tender for business. If you can show that you have Cyber Essentials certification, it gives clients reassurance about your levels of security. We also offer training on Cyber Security as well as on how to get the most from the raft of Microsoft products, especially Microsoft 365. When it comes to IT support it’s often more about educating people regarding the dos and don’ts, eradicating mistakes and setting policies is one of the best steps to help with your security.”
And of course, there never seems to be a day when we don’t hear about how AI can help you or your company. Like a lot of the internet, AI is an incredible tool when used correctly, but it can also bring risks that need to be managed. You need to take precautions and plan accordingly to secure company data and The Unite Group are here to assist you with this.
As well as ensuring that your IT, telecoms and security are up to scratch, they can also help you with your digital marketing. The team in the company’s Social Plus arm offer website design and maintenance, social media management, SEO and PPC campaigns to drive revenue through your website. With two Certified Digital Marketing Specialist heading up PPC why not see how they can help grow your business.
So why don’t you contact Paul and the team at The Unite Group to discuss what sort of security you have and, importantly, what you should have.
And if your looking to grow your business why not go along to one of their network events which are run locally through Network+. The events are free and great for local businesses to get together to network and share ideas.
