Cyber Security Solutions
We understand that a single breach can jeopardise client trust, damage your reputation, and disrupt your accounting operations. Our cyber security services are designed to provide peace of mind by keeping your confidential information safe, secure, and compliant with regulatory standards like the Data Protection Act and FCA regulations. Here’s how we help:
Award Winning Firewalls
To protect your systems from hackers and unwanted intrusions, we install advanced firewalls—tools that act as a barrier between your network and potential threats. These firewalls filter harmful traffic, block suspicious activity, and ensure only authorised users can access your systems.
Protecting Your Emails and Web Activity
Our Managed Mail Filtering service protects your inbox by scanning emails for phishing attempts, suspicious links, or attempts to steal data. On the web, our Web Filtering service blocks harmful websites and malware by monitoring traffic in real time.
Securing Sensitive Client Data
To ensure client information and sensitive financial data remains confidential, our Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools restrict unauthorised sharing of data through methods like USB drives, email attachments, or cloud uploads to platforms like Dropbox.
Keeping Your Systems Up to Date and Protected
Outdated software can leave your systems vulnerable to attacks. Our Patch Management service ensures your programs are always updated with the latest security fixes. We also provide managed antivirus solutions, which not only block known viruses but also detect and stop new, emerging threats.

Victoria NicholsAlthough our procedures are relatively complex, EBS Consultants took the time to understand our business processes and full requirements. They had a good grasp on the “step by step” list of tasks in each scenario that needed to be carried out and at each stage; in preparation for Go live. Their knowledge and experience of industry standards and the software’s capabilities left us with confidence they could deliver a product and problem solve any minor issues as they arose. adapting to changes in our decisions throughout the test phase. The hand holding throughout; and the training for our staff was excellent, the procedures set out are now easily accomplished by all from shop floor up-to management level I would have no hesitation in recommending EBS Consultants for a stress-free install; we are now looking forward to a smooth transition on to our live data very shortly. Well done guys and thank youRead more...

David BodinEBS were flexible to allow us to meet all our deadlines. When there were challenges getting lines into the new building because of pandemic delays with Open Reach EBS put in a 4G temporary solution to allow the training and installation of Sage 200 to take place. The project was very well run by the whole EBS team. EBS spotted the challenges around Sage 50 and could see how its limitations might hinder our companies growth plans. We were happy with Sage so they recommended Sage 200 with Manufacturing to ensure we had the tools and systems in place for our future.Read more...

Richard BrownThe HaTS department have been excellent since my time at Agriline Products Ltd. We are a fast moving company who literally cannot afford for our systems to be down for 10 minutes. If they were, then orders would stop coming in via phone and website, and our warehouse would lose time to get orders out the door. When you can be dispatching up to 500 orders per day, then every minute counts. The Hardware department have ensured we can maintain our critical same day despatch policy, all thanks to the Pro-Active support package.Read more...

Darryl Spencer-HicksSince our first dealings with EBS we have always received outstanding support with hardware and software which other companies fail to provide. EBS is a go to company for any business that wants to invest in growing their own business rather than worrying about their I.T. infrastructure. Dealing with EBS ensures there is a no blame game between software or hardware companies as they deal with it all from the moment you pick the phone up to them, there are not many companies out there today that provide this service. When we originally went with EBS it was with this in mind and the service received has been impeccable. They are a very versatile and dynamic business and not just there to sell but to advise on streamlining our processes and offer the best solutions to an ever-changing company. This is a company that employs knowledge and with this they give excellent advice on all the products and services they provide. This is why after 26 years we still remain a loyal customer as they have proved to be a loyal supplier. EBS to NERO is a “One stop I.T. company”Read more...

EBS have been great in developing our system, and making us feel much more secure in terms of our IT landscape, from many system efficiencies they have helped us implement to hardware improvements which have sped up our systems allowing our staff to use their time more wisely. The regular catch ups we have really make us feel like we are a valued customer and that we are in safe hands as there has always been progress.
