Cybersecurity

The controls that reduce real risk — and the evidence that proves it. Continuous monitoring and response, mapped to the SFC's cybersecurity expectations for licensed firms.

Overview

Cybersecurity for a small firm isn't about buying the most tools — it's about having someone whose job is to run the right controls, watch them, and prove they're working. Komstadt delivers continuous monitoring and response mapped to the SFC's cybersecurity expectations, so you reduce real risk and hold the evidence an inspection or an investor will ask for.

We combine an ISO-certified security operations centre, endpoint and email protection, identity controls and human awareness training into one managed service. The goal isn't a wall of dashboards — it's fewer incidents, faster response when something does happen, and documentation you can stand behind.

What's included

Monitored, and mapped to SFC expectations.

The controls, in depth

Managed detection & response

An ISO-certified security operations centre monitors your environment 24/7, combining automated detection with human analysts who investigate and respond. Threats are contained in minutes, not discovered weeks later — the difference between an incident and a crisis.

Endpoint detection & response

Next-generation EDR agents run across Windows, Mac and mobile, spotting malicious behaviour that traditional antivirus misses. Compromised devices are automatically isolated from the network before an attacker can spread.

Managed email security

Email is how most attacks arrive. We put anti-phishing, business-email-compromise protection and encryption in front of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and enforce SPF, DKIM and DMARC so your domain can't be spoofed.

Network & identity

Managed firewalls, IPS/IDS and DNS filtering protect the perimeter, while MFA, conditional access and zero-trust controls protect identity — the new perimeter. Access is granted least-privilege and reviewed regularly.

Vulnerability & dark-web monitoring

Continuous scanning finds and prioritises the weaknesses attackers look for, so they're fixed on a schedule rather than discovered in a breach. We also watch dark-web and breach databases for your credentials appearing where they shouldn't.

Phishing simulations & training

Your staff are the first line of defence, so we keep them sharp with regular simulated phishing and targeted awareness training. People who can spot a fake email stop most attacks before any tool has to.

Who it's for

SFC-licensed firms facing the annual technical review and thematic scrutiny

Firms holding sensitive client, financial or personal data

Firms with cyber-insurance or investor requirements to meet

Any business that can't afford a day of downtime or a data breach

Common questions

The controls, in depth

We already have antivirus and Microsoft 365 — isn't that enough?
Those are a start, not a defence. Antivirus misses modern attacks, and Microsoft 365 security features have to be configured and watched. Managed detection, response and monitoring are what actually reduce risk — and what the SFC expects.
How does this map to the SFC's requirements?
Our Compliance+ tier maps these controls directly to the SFC's cybersecurity expectations and to investor operational due diligence, and produces the documented evidence an inspection or an allocator asks for. See the SFC Compliance page for the full mapping.
