Cyber security is an essential part of running a modern business. From customer data and internal systems to remote users and cloud applications, organisations in Durham rely on technology every day to stay productive and competitive. At Cornerstone Business Solutions, we provide trusted cyber security in Durham to help businesses protect their operations and reduce exposure to cyber threats.
Our services are designed for businesses that need dependable, practical support. Whether you are concerned about phishing attacks, ransomware, insecure remote access, or the resilience of your backups, we help create a stronger security foundation that fits the way your business operates. Through our wider expertise in managed IT support and IT support services, we deliver cyber security as part of a joined-up technology strategy.


As part of our commitment to improving cyber security for businesses throughout the North East, we now offer a program of accreditation through Cyber Essentials, giving your customers and clients peace of mind that your business meets a high standard of security compliance and that their data is safe and secure.
Our tools are feature-rich and intended to maximise their value to your organisation. The features available include:

The Security “report card” grading system quickly and clearly shows your security position.

Security Risk score quantifies issues into measurable values that can be tracked over time.

Security Risk Analysis Engine analyzes massive quantity of data for best practices violations and issues.

Security Audit Log analysis of thousands of log entries across the network for anomalous and failed logins.

Facilitate Security Permission Reviews of share permissions, group policy settings, and RSOP analysis.

Ensure Perimeter Defenses are protecting properly with routine, external vulnerability scans.

Verify Outbound Firewall Configuration to block unnecessary outbound traffic and filtering to reduce worms and ransomware.

Find lack of Egress Filtering (blocking outbound traffic) one of the most misconfigured firewall settings.

Data Breach Liability report monetizes a client’s potential liability by scanning for personal data that could be compromised in a data breach.
Every business environment is different, which is why effective cyber security starts with understanding your systems, users, and priorities. Our cyber security services for businesses in Durham are tailored to reduce the risks most relevant to your organisation.
We can support you with endpoint protection, advanced email security, firewall management, secure remote access, patching, account security, Microsoft 365 protection, backup monitoring, and cloud security controls. These services help reduce common vulnerabilities while improving visibility and resilience across your environment.
Many businesses choose to combine cyber security with wider IT managed services or business IT support, creating a more joined-up and efficient model for support, maintenance, security, and strategic planning. This is particularly useful for organisations that want a single trusted provider overseeing the health and security of their IT estate.
A cyber attack can affect much more than technology. It can interrupt operations, delay communication, affect customer service, and damage trust. That is why our approach focuses on protecting continuity as well as preventing incidents.
At Cornerstone Business Solutions, we help businesses in Durham strengthen both their security controls and their recovery capabilities. By combining cyber protection with resilient business backup solutions and support for secure cloud computing solutions, we help organisations reduce downtime and safeguard critical business data.
We can also support businesses looking to improve standards through work connected to Cyber Essentials IT support. Strengthening these foundations can be valuable for compliance, customer assurance, tender requirements, and overall confidence in the business’s security approach.
One of the key benefits of working with Cornerstone Business Solutions is that we understand cyber security in the context of the wider IT environment. Many vulnerabilities stem from issues such as unsupported software, poor access control, inconsistent updates, or gaps in infrastructure management. Because we also provide IT infrastructure management, managed services, and day-to-day support, we can help address those wider issues at the same time.
This integrated service is especially valuable for SMEs that want reliable expertise without employing a full in-house IT team. We can act as an outsourced IT department for small businesses, giving you access to ongoing support, strategic advice, and practical cyber protection under one provider.
Rather than simply adding security products on top of existing issues, we work to improve the full environment so your business benefits from stronger protection and better long-term performance.
Businesses choose us because they want more than a reactive IT provider. They want a partner who understands risk, acts proactively, and helps create a stronger foundation for growth. At Cornerstone Business Solutions, we provide clear advice, dependable service, and cyber security solutions designed around the practical needs of the organisation.
Our experience across managed IT services, support, backups, cloud systems, and security means we can offer a complete service for businesses in Durham. Whether you need help securing users, improving recovery confidence, or strengthening your wider IT strategy, we deliver solutions that are aligned with real business priorities.
