Cyber security for Cambridgeshire — biotech IP, logistics exposure and sensible certification
Cambridgeshire's threat landscape is unusual because the county's economy is. Biotech, life sciences and software firms around Cambridge hold IP that genuinely has commercial value to well-resourced attackers, and they increasingly face supplier-security questionnaires from pharmaceutical partners and academic collaborators that go well beyond a tick-box. Peterborough's logistics and distribution sector is exposed to business email compromise — invoice redirection on a busy accounts payable function — and to ransomware through poorly managed remote-access appliances. Manufacturers in Huntingdon see the same ransomware pattern aimed at operational technology networks.
Plan-IT focuses on the fundamentals that stop these attacks: MFA everywhere with conditional access, endpoint detection and response with alerts that are actually reviewed, immutable offsite backups, and a tested incident runbook. For Cambridge biotech clients we'll often go further on data loss prevention, privileged access and audit logging to meet partner expectations. Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications are a common ask, particularly for firms tendering into NHS, research council and Innovate UK contracts.
Most assessment and hardening work is handled remotely; Cyber Essentials Plus audit days and incident response are scheduled onsite.

Cyber Security FAQ
What is Cyber Essentials and do I need it?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that proves your business has the basics covered. Many tenders, contracts and insurance policies now require it. We're Cyber Essentials certified ourselves and help clients get certified each year.
How do I know if my business has been hacked?
Common signs include unexpected emails sent from your account, unusual login alerts, files renamed or encrypted, or sudden slowdowns. If you suspect anything, get in touch immediately — fast response significantly reduces damage.
Do I need cyber security if I only use cloud services?
Absolutely. Most modern attacks target cloud accounts (especially Microsoft 365 and Google) through phishing. MFA, conditional access and good email filtering are essential even if you don't have an office network.
