Alpha Safe adopts a four-pronged approach to provide comprehensive cybersecurity

Prevention

From the software to the hardware, the CEO to the hiring manager, Alpha Safe provides a collection of prioritised actions you can take to prevent hackers from harvesting your data.

Remedy

In the event that you fall victim to a cybersecurity incident, there's no need to panic; Alpha Safe can prepare you a comprehensive disaster recovery plan to bounce back stronger than ever.

Training

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and that is precisely where hackers aim. Alpha Safe can help strengthen that chain by uniting your entire team upon a singular cybersecurity vision.

Compliance

Alpha Safe can help you to understand and follow complex cybersecurity standards, ensuring that your company adheres to any third-party regulations that you may be subject to.

Prevention

Your data belongs to you, but it can also be invaluable to a rival or competitor. Ensuring that data doesn't end up in the wrong hands can be an overwhelming task, but Alpha Safe is here to ensure that your confidential information can only be accessed by your own staff - and only those staff who actively need access to it.

Alpha Safe can work with you to help develop bespoke daily processes for both your staff and suppliers to follow, while causing minimal interruption to your daily business operation.

Some of the areas Alpha Safe can help with in this regard include:

  • Password Security
  • Clean Desk Policies
  • IT Staff Practices
  • HR Staff Practices
  • Vendor Requirements
  • Employee Contracts
  • Geolocation Restrictions
  • PoLP Enforcement

"Companies are focussed on prevention, but don't practice how to deal with attacks. Hackers are aware of this and will use the chaos that ensues following an attack to take advantage of victims."

- Hilary Walton, Chief Information Security Officer @ Kordia Group

Remedy

Often when companies have a cybersecurity incident, they don't even realise until long after the infiltrator has made off with all of the company data. And following a cybersecurity incident, there are always a number of lingering problems that require attention.

Alpha Safe can help you to work out how such an incident was able to happen in the first place, and to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Even the process of dealing with the consequences is made painless while following our bespoke disaster recovery plans.

Keep your business cogs turning with our remedial services:

  • Threat Detection
  • Malware Removal
  • Dealing With Breaches
  • Responsible Reporting
  • Exfiltration Identification
  • Backup And Retrieval
  • Business Continuity
  • Disaster Recovery

"Since COVID-19, we've seen a massive increase in DDoS attacks and we've seen around the world a number of companies, including the New Zealand Stock Exchange, be brought down by cyber attack."

- Tony Baird, CTO @ Vodafone NZ

Training

Alpha Safe cannot overstate the importance a company's staff plays in its cybersecurity profile. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and it takes only one staff member to cripple a company's cybersecurity defences. Alpha Safe can work with each of your staff members to ensure that they follow the company's cybersecurity protocols.

Your staff are unique, and interact with technology in a variety of different ways on a number of different devices. Personal employee devices can be even more vulnerable than company devices, so it's critical that employees have a sound understanding of the company's cybersecurity policies.

Alpha Safe can help both you and your staff with training in the following areas:

  • Identity Verification
  • Approving Requests
  • Divulging Information
  • Whitelisting
  • Apps To Avoid
  • Websites To Avoid
  • Phishing Training
  • Spotting Scams

"95% of cybersecurity issues can be traced to human error."

Compliance

With technology becoming increasingly ingrained into day to day life, the general public are becoming more concerned about their privacy than ever. Consumers are requiring a higher level of transparency from companies than ever before, and organisations are starting to place more stringent requirements on businesses that deal with their data.

Alpha Safe can help you to reassure both your customers and your suppliers by vetting your company to ensure that you adhere fully to recognised cybersecurity standards.

Some of the standards Alpha Safe can help you comply with include:

  • FIPS 140
  • GDPR
  • ISO/IEC 27001
  • PCI DSS
  • CMMC
  • FAR 52.204-21
  • NIST SP 800-171
  • OWASP 'Top 10'

"We've got secure remote working, but it's about practice; how people use it, and maintaining confidentiality in shared living arrangements."

- Sarah Thirwell, Chief Digital Officer @ MinterEllisonRuddWatts

Latest Threats

Cybersecurity is a game of cat and mouse. While companies typically implement products like antiviruses to protect their data, they often don't have the time to keep up with all the latest threats. Hackers take full advantage of this fact by exploiting the latest vulnerabilities.

Visit our blog for more information on the latest threats, and see just how many companies around the world are falling victim to them.

The blog details the latest threats plaguing society, and Alpha Safe can provide personalised advice on how you and your company can guard against them:

  • Malware Prevention
  • Scam Prevention
  • Phishing Awareness
  • Verification Checking
  • Network Protection
  • Website Protection
  • Active Monitoring
  • Real-time Reporting

"64% of New Zealand businesses would be willing to pay to regain access to their data. Nearly one in ten would pay more than $100,000."

- Hilary Walton, Chief Information Security Officer @ Kordia Group

Tips For Families

Alpha Safe does more than help companies' staff stay safe online - we extend our services to also support their families. Whether you have an elderly relative or a young child, the chances are that they'll be just as active on the Internet as you are, and thus require just as much protection.

Scammers deliberately prey on the vulnerable, so make sure that those you care about protecting are informed about the darker side of the Internet.

Alpha Safe's support can extend well beyond the workplace, covering all aspects of personal and family life:

  • Working From Home
  • Shared Living
  • Parental Controls
  • Elderly Support
  • Home Networking
  • Personal Devices
  • Smart Homes
  • Smart Vehicles

"It is estimated that New Zealanders lose $500 million a year to overseas fraudsters and elderly victims are overrepresented in the statistics."
