We're launching!

Some of the Services Talosic will Offer

Protect Your Email

Prevent your email being spoofed by other people; protect trust and reputation in your communications; reduce the risk that your people will be phished; understand where your email is coming from and where it is going to

Apply Information Classification

Classify the different sensitivities of your information; ensure files are marked with an appropriate classification; apply rules to protect information proportionate to its sensitivity

Secure Sharing & Collaboration

Ensuring sharing services (e.g. SharePoint and OneDrive) are configured to make it easy where risk is low, but with appropriate control when the classification demands it

Control Applications & 3rd Parties

Before giving other applications access to information (e.g. Hubspot access to email), ensure the decision balances business benefit with risk

Trust People

Define the different types of people your business works with according to the levels of trust and authority; ensure trust exists before a person is given access to sensitive resources

Manage Devices

Easily establish control and management over devices, proportionate to the value of the resources they will handle; adjust the methods for accessing information according to this control and the classification

Transparency & Compliance

Gain compliance and certification with standards more easily, and securely share evidence of your security controls with trusted parties

Can you help us to help you

Do any of the statements above chime with you? We will be launching the initial service within the next month and we would love to join forces with a variety of businesses facing these challenges. You will be able to influence our priorities and solutions, and gain the benefits by using them before they are available to the wider market.

In return, as launch partners who have helped us, you will be rewarded with preferential pricing as the products are launched to the wider market.

Cloud security designed for SMEs

(large enterprises also welcome)

99% of products are designed for 1% of businesses

More than 99% of UK businesses are classed as SMEs. And yet we have found that the vast majority of products and services either require deep expertise that this market is unlikely to have, or present affordability and value for money challenges.

Do you need more control but don't know where to start?

There can often be a significant void between recognising a risk and having the ability to mitigate it. The cloud services that we use for most of our IT (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Xero, Hubspot etc) have a rich variety of tools to enable them to be secured. But their complexity makes the task of configuring them overwhelming to many. Instead they too frequently leave them untouched, adopting a one-size-fits-all solution that is unlikely to meet the unique risks and characteristics of an individual business.

Are there customers you can't sell to because of the security standards they demand?

Gaining access to many markets and large enterprises as customers frequently comes with an obligation to meet exacting security standards. This is entirely understandable. These businesses are only trying to protect themselves, and there have been too many examples through history where an attack came up through the supply chain. They are not trying to exclude SMEs, and many would welcome the innovation and value that comes from a diverse range of suppliers. But the standards and demands are still a barrier, and the cost of overcoming them often qualifies the opportunity out.

Are you unable to get insurance at a price you can afford?

The cyber risk insurance market has matured significantly over the last few years. Underwriters have found, to their cost, that the risks are more nuanced than conventional policies, and are more dependent on the client’s controls.

While this is understandable, it frequently has the effect of pricing SMEs out of the market, or excluding them completely. If you can’t provide evidence of the controls that mitigate your risk, they have to assume the worst.

These are just some of the reasons why we are launching Talosic

The threat of cyber attack is not going to diminish. This isn’t scaremongering; it is the reality of criminal motivation. None of us can operate our businesses or lives without technology, and it is a simple fact that the risks and costs are lower to attack people in the virtual world than the real one.

However, while we all rely on these technologies, the majority don’t have the time and expertise necessary to counter the risks. We use cloud services for simplicity and value for money. But the scale and complexity of all the intricacies and configurations that make the difference between secure and vulnerable is mind-boggling.

We believe the choice shouldn’t be between a one-size-fits-all solution that is as safe as a chocolate fireguard or hiring a team with PhDs in cyber security. We can make it easy to make the business decisions, while the knowledge and expertise built into the solution does the hard work.

Like Talos, the mythical robot forged by the gods of Ancient Greece to protect the small island of Crete, with Talosic you will have a tireless robot protecting the things you care about. Talosic will look after your technology and digital assets so that you can apply your effort where it delivers greatest value.
