Protecting Alderley Edge Businesses in a Digital World
Alderley Edge sits at the heart of the Cheshire Golden Triangle alongside Wilmslow and Prestbury, home to a dense concentration of accountancy practices, independent financial advisers, solicitors and wealth management firms. These are businesses where client confidentiality, regulatory compliance and system uptime are non-negotiable. Blowfish Technology provides fully managed cyber security to Alderley Edge firms – protecting against ransomware, phishing, data breaches and regulatory risk.
Ransomware
Malicious software encrypting your client files and demanding payment, catastrophic for a firm holding tax records or legal matters.
Phishing & Social Engineering
Deceptive emails tricking staff into handing over credentials or authorising payments to attacker accounts.
Account Takeover
Stolen credentials accessing Microsoft 365, practice management systems and client portals.
Business Email Compromise
Attackers impersonating partners or clients to redirect payments, a particular risk for firms handling high-value transactions.
Data Breach & GDPR Exposure
A single leaked client file can trigger ICO notifications, regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage.

Common questions

Our managed cyber security stack is priced on a per-user per-month basis, making it predictable and scalable. The monthly cost is a fraction of the typical cost of a single cyber incident. Contact us for a tailored quote for your Alderley Edge business.
What’s included in your cyber security service?

Do we need Cyber Essentials certification for our Alderley Edge business?
Cyber Essentials is mandatory for UK government contracts involving personal data and is increasingly required by larger private sector clients, NHS trusts and public bodies. Even where not mandatory, clients increasingly ask suppliers to demonstrate their security posture. We help Alderley Edge businesses achieve certification.
Is Your Alderley Edge Business as Secure as You Think?
Most businesses discover gaps in their security only after an incident. Talk to Blowfish Technology for a free, no-obligation security assessment.
