Managed Cybersecurity Service for UK Businesses
AMVIA's managed cybersecurity service provides UK SMEs with continuous threat monitoring, endpoint detection and response, email security, vulnerability management, and incident response — delivered by a Sheffield-based security team as a fully managed monthly service. It replaces the need for an in-house security function and gives businesses of 10 to 500 staff access to enterprise-grade protection at a predictable cost.

What's Included
Everything you get with this managed service.
24/7 Security Monitoring
AMVIA's Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitors your environment continuously — endpoints, email, cloud services, and network traffic — around the clock. Our analysts triage alerts, investigate suspicious activity, and escalate confirmed threats with clear recommendations for action.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Endpoint Detection and Response technology is deployed across all your devices — Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It monitors process behaviour, network connections, and file activity, detecting threats that bypass traditional antivirus through behavioural analysis and threat intelligence.
Email Security and Phishing Protection
Email remains the primary entry point for cyberattacks in the UK — phishing and Business Email Compromise (BEC) account for the majority of breaches affecting UK SMEs. AMVIA's email security layer applies advanced filtering, sandboxing of suspicious attachments, URL rewriting, and DMARC, DKIM, and SPF.
Vulnerability Management
Unpatched software is consistently one of the top three causes of successful cyberattacks on UK businesses. AMVIA's vulnerability management capability scans your environment continuously, identifying known vulnerabilities across all managed devices and prioritising remediation by exposure risk.
Incident Response
When a cyber incident occurs, the speed and quality of your response determines the outcome. AMVIA provides a defined incident response service — from initial detection and containment through to eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.
Cyber Essentials Support
Cyber Essentials certification is increasingly required for UK government contracts, cyber insurance renewal, and supply chain compliance. AMVIA supports businesses through the certification process — from gap assessment to remediation to certification submission.
