Is your IT infrastructure Secure, Usable, Reliable, and Extendable?

Avoidable IT infrastructure inefficiencies and vulnerabilities are often caused by not regularly reviewing and updating your technology stack. Malicious actors are constantly be on the lookout for growing businesses who are reliant on infrastructure that has been built over time by different people, using different software, hardware and techniques. As a result of not ‘building from the ground up’, organisations often find themselves trying to manage unwieldy, inefficient, and insecure infrastructure.

The truth is Morgan Cyber spends more time resolving issues that have been caused by not appropriately reviewing or updating technologies than are caused by cyber-attacks

Is that something you’re experiencing too? If so, we can help. Our S.U.R.E IT Infrastructure Assessment starts by gathering a complete understanding of your vision and functional requirements, with the end goal of creating a secure, usable, reliable, and extendable IT infrastructure that works for you.

Morgan Cybers' S.U.R.E IT Infrastructure Assessment

Find and resolve IT infrastructure issues before they become expensive operational headaches with our S.U.R.E model

SECURE: If an attacker got into your network, could you respond effectively?

Our S.U.R.E Assessment answers critical questions like this. We examine your infrastructures architecture and configuration to ensure that even if an attacker is initially successful, defences are in place to enable you to detect and rapidly contain an incident.

We also review the key elements of your wider cyber security; your people, processes, and technologies against industry, vendor, and our own recommended best practices, always ensuring the true focus is on your threats, not academic assessment criteria.

USABLE: Hard to use IT infrastructure is inefficient and costly. Unlock and accelerate productivity

Usable IT infrastructure is essential to enable teams to perform their tasks without being frustrated by unfit, outdated, or poorly performing systems.

We evaluate all aspects that can impact IT infrastructure usability issues like network latency. This includes server performance, load balancing, prioritisation protocols, if a network can handle traffic volumes, and if overly complex applications are all contributing to a loss in productivity.

RELIABLE: Delivering dependable performance day in, day out

Reliable IT infrastructure enables organisations to operate with minimal frustrating and costly downtime. We assess your infrastructures ability to handle unexpected workloads, and ensure correct policies are in place for monitoring key infrastructure health metrics to facilitate future early warnings

We also review your backups and disaster recovery plans so that in the event of either a malicious or accidental incident, you have the best chance of remaining in control of your data, and are able to continue operating key business functions.

EXTENDABLE: Can your IT Infrastructure grow with your business and handle future workloads?

A big part of a S.U.R.E IT Assessment is looking towards your organisations’ future. If you have exciting growth plans, IT infrastructure has to be extendable; that means it grows seamlessly as your organisation adds more users and customers without sacrificing performance.

Using your business plan as a guide, we put in place IT infrastructure using components that are easy to replicate, replace, or upgrade without impacting whole systems. We also look at your cloud architecture, existing network designs, and advise on the best pricing options to ensure you scale affordably.

Service Benefits

  • Ensure a secure and stable IT environment - The strength of your infrastructure is far greater than the sum of its individual components. We don't just look at individual devices, we look at how they are working together, helping to identify any current or potential future operational challenges before the can disrupt your business.
  • A way to develop your teams skills - Constructively reviewing project work completed by an in-house team is a proven tool to improve performance, capability, and morale. Your in-house teams have probably done a brilliant job, but a fresh pair of eyes from industry leading experts in this technology will often spot an oversight, bring in fresh ideas, or suggest a real-world efficiency win, turning a good result into a great one.
  • Maximise the return on your investment - IT is expensive, but that means efficiency savings can also be significant. We analyse your existing devices, software, and licensing to ensure your configurations and architecture are fully optimised and there is no wastage regarding unused or over engineered licences or data usage.
  • Ensure good hygeine is being maintained - Cybersecurity will never stand still. We can return with regular assessments to ensure the best practices we worked closely together to achieve are progressing, not regressing. This proactive approach provides ongoing assurance to both your leadership team and clients that you are staying ahead of emerging threats and operational challenges, ensuring your security posture and infrastructure will remain robust.
  • Access technical expertise when you need it - At Morgan Cyber, your main contact will be the technical expert leading our relationship, not an account manager. We believe this is the best way to provide great client service and accelerate your project. Unlike some other providers, we do not charge you for the administrative time spent on a project.

How It Works

Just as a skilled tailor crafts each garment to perfectly suit their clients requirements and preferences, our S.U.R.E IT Infrastructure Assessment is similarly bespoke. We understand that you will have unique needs and objectives, and will never force you into a mould that doesn’t align. Instead, we meticulously tailor each engagement to cater specifically to your situation and budget.

  • Stage 1 - Understand - Our team will meet with yours on a free scoping call to give us the best possible understanding of your existing infrastructure and why you have reached out to us. We really want to know why this project is important to you, areas where your team excels (and where we can help), and what your timescales and budgets are.
  • Stage 2 - Planning - We take information and intelligence gathered in stage 1 and work with your wider team to tailor a plan that addresses key priorities, other projects, workloads, and their experiences of working with your existing infrastructure from a security, reliability, and usability perspective. We will be looking to enhance performance in all three areas.
  • Stage 3 - S.U.R.E Assessment delivery - We won’t assess your infrastructure against generic, off the shelf theoretical criteria. Instead, our team of experienced infrastructure security engineers we will execute the agreed engagement against industry specific threats your business faces and ensure our guidance addresses real-world risks, while avoiding unnecessary complexity that could hinder your operations.
  • Stage 4 - Reporting, reviewing & improving - Our S.U.R.E report will be extremely detailed and thoroughly explain the gaps we discovered, and the severity of the risks they pose. Once you have read the report, the technical expert leading your engagement will host a review call to discuss the findings collaboratively with your internal stakeholders. The objective of this call is to put in place a clear improvement path to close those gaps, prioritising the remediation of vulnerabilities posing the biggest threats.
  • Stage 5 Improving & mentoring - Our engagements come with optional mentoring time following the engagement that can be used to help address the issues on your roadmap. We can also support with larger mitigation projects where required.
