Cyber security today isn’t only about investing in tools, it’s also about ensuring an organisation’s existing security infrastructure has a solid foundation through the best possible configuration, management and continual improvement, bolstered by the right expertise.
Closing the Gaps in Security Configurations
Misconfiguration remains one of the biggest causes of breaches. We help organisations identify weaknesses across their environment, then implement the recommended actions. From fortifying conditional access without causing interruption, to fixing DNS issues (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) we ensure configuration controls work together to provide solid, layered protection.
Staff Cyber Security awareness
People are often the first to be targeted. Astro conducts simulations using trusted third-party tools and provides reports on the findings. These targeted, safe campaigns reveal where training gaps lie, give an organisation’s leadership team the knowledge to identify real threats, highlighting who is interacting and the type of content they are interacting with. This fosters a strong internal security culture where every employee becomes part of the defence.
Preparing for Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials (CE) has become a baseline requirement, for many industries and regulated sectors. This not only assists business boost their profile in new business opportunities but also when reviewing business insurance/continuity. Astro has worked with many organisations to review their businesses overall posture to align with CE controls — ensuring device protection, access control, patch management, and secure configurations are all in place. Our consultancy approach gives you clear, actionable recommendations to achieve and maintain CE certification.
Implementing Zero Trust and Defence in depth
Zero Trust is no longer optional — it’s the foundation of modern cyber defence. We help organisations enforce MFA, apply conditional access policies, and segment data access. Using the Swiss cheese model as an analogy, each control when layered together creates powerful defence.
Strategic Leadership Beyond the Tech
Astro doesn’t stop at the configuration stage. We provide audits, surveys, IT strategy and leadership, and security testing — working with boards, IT leaders, and operations teams. Our goal is to ensure cybersecurity isn’t treated as a silo but is embedded into organisational strategy, culture, and long-term planning.
Why Astro?
Because securing your environment isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about combining deep technical expertise with strategic clarity. From safeguarding personal identifying information to optimising high-performance computing deployments, we bring decades of experience in spotting risks, strengthening environments, and delivering solutions that work in the real world.
If you want to strengthen your defences, prepare for Cyber Essentials, or change to implement a Zero Trust approach, or if you simply want a conversation over a coffee to discuss your current strategy, Astro can help ensure your organisation avoids the pitfalls of ineffective security.
