POST-INCIDENT HARDENING IN COVENTRY

Post-Incident Hardening for Coventry businesses

Coventry is an automotive and advanced manufacturing centre. Recovering the data is only half the job — if the gap that let the attacker in is still open, you're just waiting for a repeat. Hardening looks at how the compromise happened and closes that specific route, rather than offering generic advice. Courier collection arranged nationwide, prepaid label provided.

01

Identify the entry point

We work out how the attacker actually got in — a VPN without MFA, an exposed remote-desktop port, a phishing email — rather than assuming.

02

Review your backup strategy

We check whether backups are isolated from the systems they protect, and recommend changes so a future incident can't reach them too.

03

Tighten access controls

Multi-factor authentication, VPN configuration and least-privilege access get a practical review, focused on the gap that was actually used.

04

Set up monitoring

We recommend monitoring and alerting so early signs of a repeat incident get caught in minutes, not weeks.

This is scoped to the incident we just handled, not a generic security audit — closing the specific door that was used to get in. Serving Coventry and the wider West Midlands area — start a case on the contact page, or see the full ransomware response overview.
