Cyber Security Services in Sussex – Protect IT with Weald

In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are a constant risk for businesses of all sizes. At Weald IT, we deliver comprehensive cyber security services in Sussex to safeguard your systems, data, and reputation. Our Sussex-based experts combine global security best practices with local, responsive support – so you can focus on running your business while we protect it.


Why Cyber Security Matters for Sussex Businesses

Cyber attacks against UK SMEs are increasing every year, with phishing, ransomware, and data breaches leading the way. For many businesses, the impact isn’t just financial – it’s a loss of client trust and operational downtime.

Common risks include:

  • Data breaches leading to GDPR fines and reputational damage
  • Ransomware attacks locking critical systems
  • Phishing emails targeting employees
  • Unsecured remote working exposing vulnerabilities

Our job is to make sure these risks are minimised – or eliminated – before they disrupt your business.

Cyber Security FAQs for Sussex Businesses

Do small businesses in Sussex really need cyber security?

Yes. In fact, UK SMEs are now the most common target for cyber attacks. Smaller businesses are often targeted because attackers know they have fewer in-house security resources. Cyber security is no longer just for large enterprises — it’s essential protection for every business that relies on email, cloud systems or customer data.

What are the most common cyber threats facing businesses today?

The most common threats we see include phishing emails, ransomware attacks, compromised Microsoft 365 accounts, unsecured remote access and weak passwords. Many incidents start with a single email or stolen login, which is why layered security and staff awareness are so important.

What cyber security services does Weald IT provide?

We provide a complete, layered cyber security service including threat monitoring, managed firewalls, endpoint protection, secure backup and disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 security, and staff security awareness training. Our services are tailored to your business size, sector and risk profile.

Can you help us meet Cyber Essentials or cyber insurance requirements?

Yes. We regularly help Sussex businesses improve their security posture to meet Cyber Essentials controls and cyber insurance requirements. This includes MFA, device hardening, patching, backup verification and documented security processes.

How much do cyber security services typically cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your business, number of users and level of protection required. We offer flexible cyber security packages designed for SMEs, with clear pricing and no unnecessary extras. A short assessment allows us to recommend the right level of protection.

What happens if we already have IT support — can you still help?

Yes. We work with businesses that already have internal IT or another provider, offering specialist cyber security support, independent reviews or co-managed security services where required.

How quickly can you respond to a cyber incident?

As a Sussex-based provider, we can respond rapidly both remotely and on-site. Our goal is to contain threats quickly, protect your data and minimise downtime while guiding you through next steps.

How do we know if our business is currently at risk?

Many businesses are exposed without realising it. A cyber security assessment can quickly identify gaps such as weak email security, missing MFA, outdated systems or insufficient backup. This is often the first step to improving protection.

Do you offer cyber security support onsite in Sussex?

Absolutely, we offer support across East and West Sussex – operating in Brighton, Worthing, Chichester, Eastbourne, Haywards Heath, Crawley and Horsham.


Get Protected – Contact Us Today

Many cyber incidents start quietly — a single email, a compromised login, or an unprotected backup. A short cyber security review can highlight risks before they turn into real problems.
