Cyber Security in Plymouth
Reliable Cyber Security for Plymouth businesses — from Cobalt, the South West's IT and comms company since 2001.
Cobalt helps Plymouth businesses block the common attacks, train their teams and stay protected as threats change. Plymouth's mix of marine, defence, manufacturing and a growing professional sector means businesses here need connectivity and phone systems that don't drop. We support firms from the city centre and Royal William Yard out to the Langage and Estover business parks. Most attacks go after easy targets — an unpatched laptop, a weak password, a staff member who clicks the wrong link — and the basics close those routes off. We start with Cyber Essentials, then stay on as your security partner.

FAQs
Cyber Security in Plymouth — your questions
We're a small Plymouth business — are we really a target?
Yes. Smaller businesses get targeted precisely because attackers expect weaker defences. The good news is the basics go a long way and don't cost much — which is exactly what we focus on.
Where should we start with cyber security?
Cyber Essentials. It's the cheapest, fastest way to block the most common attacks, it's what more contracts and insurers now ask for, and it gives us a clear baseline to build on.
Will you explain things in plain English?
Always. We won't bury you in jargon or frighten you into buying things you don't need — we'll tell you where your real risks are, what we'd do, and what it costs.
