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.

Business Email Compromise

Attackers impersonating partners or clients to redirect payments, a particular risk for firms handling high-value transactions.

A single leaked client file can trigger ICO notifications, regulatory scrutiny and reputational damage.
