What we protect

Comprehensive Protection Across Your Attack Surface

Email Security

Blocks 99%+ of phishing, ransomware, and business email compromise before reaching inboxes. AI-powered fraud detection spots CEO impersonation and wire transfer scams.

Endpoint Protection (EDR)

Detects ransomware pre-encryption behaviors like credential theft and privilege escalation. Automatic containment in minutes vs industry avg 3-4 weeks.

Network Monitoring

Identifies lateral movement and prevents attackers from accessing sensitive systems after initial breach. Unified visibility across all network segments.

Cloud Security (XDR)

Monitors Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS for unauthorized access, impossible travel patterns, and data exfiltration. Correlates threats across email, endpoints, cloud.

Why This Matters

85% of UK cyberattacks start with phishing email. Disparate security tools create blind spots attackers exploit. AMVIA provides unified protection that sees the complete attack chain.

The challenge

Attacks Quadrupled. Your Resources Haven't.

Board-Level Context

GCHQ confirmed UK organizations face the "most contested threat environment in 30 years"—attacks quadrupled to 4 nationally significant incidents weekly. 43% of UK businesses reported cyberattacks in 2024, rising to 67% for medium-sized organizations.

The Threat Is Real

  • Scottish schools shut down by ransomware during exam periods (2,500+ pupils affected)
  • DragonForce hit M&S, Harrods, Co-op during peak trading
  • Jaguar Land Rover supply chain attack disrupted 100s of suppliers
  • UK businesses lost £44bn over 5 years (1.9% of revenue)

Your Team Is Stretched

  • UK workforce gap: 3,800 cybersecurity professionals
  • 43% of UK security workers continuously monitor risk
  • Fewer than 20% can translate data into actionable intelligence
  • Analyst salaries: £45K-£75K per role (if you can find them)
Government Alert

UK Minister for Security (October 2025): "Hostile cyber activity is growing more intense, frequent and sophisticated. There is a direct and active threat to our economic and national security which requires an urgent collective response."

In-House SOC vs AMVIA Managed Services

Building an in-house Security Operations Centre costs £500K+ annually. AMVIA delivers enterprise-grade protection at 30-40% lower total cost.

Cost Item In-House SOC AMVIA Managed
Security Analysts (x2) £110K/year Included
Senior Analyst/Lead £75K/year Included
Security Tools (SIEM, EDR, XDR) £60-130K/year Included
24/7 Coverage £40-60K/year Included
Training & Certifications £8-12K/year Included
Recruitment £8-15K + 3-6mo delays Immediate
Year 1 Total £301-402K £20-50K
3-Year Total £900K-1.2M £60-150K
Save £750K - £1.05M

83-88% cost reduction over 3 years while gaining 24/7 SOC, enterprise tools, and UK-based experts

CFO Perspective

Why UK IT Leaders Choose AMVIA

Peace of mind

"I Can Finally Sleep at Night"

You stop lying awake at 3am wondering if tonight's ransomware locks your systems. Seasoned security analysts monitor continuously—not just when your small IT team has time between helpdesk tickets.

Key benefit: UK cybersecurity workers burn out faster than global counterparts. You gain 24/7 expertise without recruitment stress.
Board confidence

"Our Board Finally Understands Our Security"

Quarterly business reviews provide executive-level reporting: risk reduction, incidents prevented, compliance status. No more vague technical jargon—clear metrics that show business protection.

Government requirement: UK government told CEOs to "make cyber risk a Board-level priority" (Oct 2025).
Cost savings

"We Cut Security Spending 35% and Improved Protection"

You eliminate £250K+ annual in-house SOC costs while gaining superior coverage. Transform unpredictable capital expenditure into manageable operational expense with fixed monthly costs.

Insurance benefit: 30-40% premium reductions often cover 30-50% of managed service costs.

Common Questions from Decision-Makers

"We already have security tools—why do we need managed services?"

THE REALITY

Security tools generate alerts—managed services generate protection. Disparate tools from multiple vendors create gaps, 70-80% false positives, and alert fatigue. Real threats slip through while your team investigates benign events.

AMVIA PROVIDES
  • Unified visibility across email, endpoints, networks, cloud
  • 24/7 expert analysis your tools can't provide
  • 90%+ reduction in alert volume with improved accuracy
  • Continuous optimization of your existing tool investments

"Our IT team can handle security—we don't need external help"

THE REALITY

Your IT team is brilliant at infrastructure and projects—but cybersecurity requires specialized skills. One person can't watch systems 24/7, stay current with evolving threats, respond to sophisticated attacks, AND manage daily operations.

AMVIA PROVIDES
  • Eliminates single points of failure (holidays, illness, turnover)
  • Extends capabilities without replacing staff
  • Specialized expertise: threat hunting, forensics, compliance
  • UK workforce gap: 3,800 cybersecurity professionals you can't hire

"We're too small to attract serious cyber attacks"

THE REALITY

Criminals specifically target SMEs because you're easier to breach than enterprises with large security teams. 67% of medium-sized UK organizations reported attacks in 2024. You're not too small—you're the perfect target.

THE EVIDENCE
  • DragonForce ransomware hit both M&S and smaller retailers
  • Scottish schools with limited budgets suffered ransomware
  • £10,830 average breach cost devastates SME margins
  • Cyber Essentials increasingly required for contracts

"Managed services cost too much for our budget"

THE REALITY

You're comparing wrong numbers. Managed services cost 30-40% less than building equivalent in-house capability (£120K vs £250K+ annually). You're not choosing between managed services and free—you're choosing between affordable protection and devastating breach costs.

THE ROI
  • 30-40% cyber insurance premium reduction offsets costs
  • One prevented ransomware (£784K + £1.2M recovery) pays for 5-7 years
  • 6-9 month ROI through reduced breach costs and downtime
  • Predictable monthly costs vs unpredictable incident expenses

Financial SLA Guarantees

AMVIA backs cybersecurity services with guaranteed 99.9% availability and transparent SLAs. Automatic service credits if we miss commitments—no questions asked.

Response Time Guarantees

Critical Security Incidents <90 seconds
High-Priority Threats 1 hour max
Standard Security Queries 4 hours

Monitoring Guarantees

  • 24/7/365 continuous threat monitoring across all systems
  • Real-time alert generation with automated containment
  • Weekly security posture reports + monthly threat briefings
  • Quarterly business reviews for board-level reporting
Accountability Difference

Monthly service reports document SLA performance with complete transparency. If we miss targets, you receive automatic credits. If our protection fails due to our negligence, financial penalties apply. This accountability differentiates AMVIA from vendors offering vague "best effort" support.

What Our Clients Say

Based on verified Trustpilot reviews

★★★★★

"We switched to AMVIA after our previous provider failed to detect a phishing campaign that compromised three accounts. AMVIA's team identified suspicious login patterns within hours and contained the threat before any data left our network. The difference in response time has been remarkable."

IT Manager
80-user legal firm, London
★★★★★

"As a healthcare provider, we face strict NHS Digital requirements and constant phishing attempts targeting patient data.
