VPN & Remote Access

Give remote and hybrid users secure access to internal apps - or replace VPN entirely with Zero Trust access.

In plain English

Remote access should be controlled, visible and appropriate for the risk

VPN and secure remote access let staff, contractors and suppliers reach business systems from anywhere. Older VPNs open more than they should - modern secure access limits users to only what they need.

Why this matters to your business
  • Protects hybrid and remote working properly
  • Reduces internet-facing services attackers can probe
  • Gives you real control over third-party access
What good looks like
  • Every remote access route requires MFA
  • Users only reach the systems relevant to their role
  • Legacy VPN risk is reviewed and retired over time

Can every remote access route be justified, monitored and switched off when no longer needed?

What it is

Understanding vpn & remote access

Traditional VPN gives a remote user a network address inside your perimeter - and the same blast radius as any internal device. Modern remote access (ZTNA / Zero Trust) only gives the user the specific app they need, after identity and device-posture checks. We run both, and we'll usually help you migrate from the first to the second.

Frameworks we align to
  • Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
  • ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls
  • NCSC 10 Steps to Cyber Security
  • CIS Critical Security Controls v8
