Email and payment diversion
MFA, mailbox rules, suspicious sign-in review, payment verification processes and a clear response when a conversation may have been compromised.
Cybersecurity & resilience
Reduce the chance that one email, account or failed system stops the business.
Most damaging incidents do not begin with an exotic technical attack. They begin with a convincing message, an over-privileged account, an unpatched device, an unchanged leaver password or a backup that has never been restored.
The business problem
Security matters most when it protects the work people need to continue doing.
A fraudulent payment request can look like a normal conversation. A compromised mailbox can expose years of correspondence. An old account can remain usable long after somebody leaves. A successful backup job can still be useless if the recovery process is unknown.
Oblyx approaches security as a combination of technology, working practice, clear ownership and continuity—not as a product badge or a one-off scan.
What Oblyx covers
Controls that deserve clear ownership
Identity and access
Named administrator accounts, least-necessary access, joiner and leaver controls, shared mailbox permissions and periodic access review.
Devices and patching
Supported operating systems, update status, endpoint protection, encryption, secure remote access and visibility of business laptops.
Backups and recovery
Coverage, retention, off-site or protected copies, failure visibility, restore testing and realistic recovery priorities.
Supplier access
Who can reach firewalls, servers, cloud services and websites; how access is granted; and how it is removed when work ends.
Incident readiness
Named contacts, first actions, evidence preservation, communication routes and workable alternatives when key systems are unavailable.
A practical workflow
A practical resilience workflow
Improvements are prioritised by business impact and feasibility rather than by the number of alerts a tool can produce.
- Establish the critical servicesIdentify the systems, information and communications the business cannot operate without.
- Review access and exposureCheck identity, devices, supplier access, remote work and obvious routes an incident could use.
- Test assumptionsConfirm that backups, contact details and recovery instructions work rather than relying on dashboard status alone.
- Assign actionsGive each improvement an owner, priority and sensible completion point.
- Revisit changesReview leavers, suppliers, new systems and emerging dependencies as the business changes.
A realistic example
Example: a payment request arrives from a genuine-looking mailbox
Technology can reduce the chance of account compromise, but the business also needs a verification step for changed bank details or unusual payment instructions. Oblyx helps connect MFA, mailbox protection, user awareness, escalation contacts and the operational check that prevents a convincing email becoming a financial loss.
Hub, Edge and the human service
Where Hub and Edge help
Hub can keep responsibilities, suppliers, review actions and follow-up visible. Edge is developing to improve network-boundary visibility and monitoring where it is suitable.
Neither product is presented as a compliance certificate. David uses them to support evidence and continuity conversations, while specialist security or regulatory advisers remain involved where their expertise is required.
Who it is for
For businesses where trust, availability and client information matter
- Solicitors and accountants handling confidential client information
- Professional firms relying heavily on Microsoft 365 and remote devices
- Owner-led businesses that need practical controls without a large security department
- Teams preparing for insurance, supplier review or continuity planning
Available now and developing
Practical reviews, access improvements, MFA, device and backup coordination are available now. Continuous Edge monitoring and broader automated resilience insight are developing and depend on the systems present.
Important boundary: Oblyx supports technology and operational controls. It does not provide legal, regulatory, insurance or formal compliance advice, certification or audit opinions.
