The Client
Elite Renewables are a Croydon-based company on a mission to make sustainable power accessible, with the design and integration of innovative solutions that empower their clients to embrace a greener, more efficient future.
The Challenge
As Elite Renewables expanded year after year, so did its apprehension about the escalating cyber threats that loomed over UK businesses. This unease was further compounded by the alarming statistics indicating that even small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were increasingly becoming targets.
Elite Renewables reached out to Teknicare Ltd to reinforce their Cyber defences across their IT infrastructure.
The Solution
Our solution to Elite Renewables began with an in-depth consultation to understand their specific needs.
We recommended Elite upgrade to our comprehensive Cyber Support Package. Additionally, we encouraged them to enrol in the Cyber Essentials certification scheme. This government-backed and industry-supported scheme provides a strong security baseline for businesses, helping them defend against common threats.
Our team of cybersecurity experts guided Elite Renewables through the certification process, ensuring their organisation met all the requirements for obtaining Cyber Essentials accreditation. This involved implementing several new security products, including email security filters, DNS filters, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), and password managers.
Additionally, we focused on the Five Key Controls: firewalls and gateways, secure configurations, access controls, malware protection, and patch management.
Teknicare collaborated closely with Elite Renewables to establish new policies and procedures. These measures have not only ensured compliance during the certification process but also guaranteed ongoing security in the foreseeable future.
The Results
Operational Stability: Our robust cybersecurity measures enhanced the stability of their business operations. By safeguarding critical systems and data, Elite Renewables can maintain optimal functionality even in the face of cyber threats.
Revenue Growth: These effective cybersecurity measures prevent data breaches, which can be costly in terms of financial losses and reputational damage. By avoiding such incidents, Elite Renewables can focus on growth and revenue generation.
Customer Trust: This Cybersecurity investment built trust with their customers. Knowing that their personal information is well-protected, customers both old and new feel more confident engaging with the business.
Elite Renewables’ operations director, Lewis Joy, couldn’t have been happier with the work we did:
“As Operations Director of Elite Renewables Limited, we have been using Teknicare for nearly 10 years, and I couldn’t recommend their services enough. All the team are polite, helpful, professional and extremely competent. Always answer the phones and deal with any IT-related issues promptly, sometimes within minutes. Having done my own internal price comparisons on IT & telecoms SLAs, Teknicare are also fairly priced within the market, especially given the level of service they provide. 5-star company. Deserves 6 stars! 100% recommendation from us!”
Cybersecurity is not merely an IT function; it’s a cornerstone of business success, impacting stability, reputation, trust, and growth, and we were happy as ever to provide Elite Renewables with just that!
