[H2] Featured Case Study:Pyranha Mouldings
"We interviewed a number of companies and went and visited them, had them visit us, and Apex came out on top of that. They were really nice people to work with, super friendly, super helpful, even before we started working with them. And we just knew that we could rely upon them and that we could treat them as part of our team.
We've definitely noticed a huge improvement in business continuity and security since working with Apex. We, unfortunately, were the victims of a ransomware attack prior to working with Apex and specifically looked for a company that would look after us in the event of anything like that in the future, but more importantly, prevent it. Apex has certainly been very open with us about the threats that are around, what we can afford as a business to put in place and what we really should be considering having in place."

[H2] What our clients say about Apex Computing

[H5] John Guilfoyle, BeebotAI
We approached Apex Computing as we needed to ensure we were getting the most from our Online Cloud Services. Their service desk also ensures our staff can ring with any IT Problems they may have, to get them resolved quickly, and allowing them to get on with their job - not be trying to fix IT problems! Thank you, Apex.

[H5] Corrie Duncan, Kennedy Redford
The onboarding process was painless, the steps were outlined from the beginning, and any questions were answered when required," said Corrie Duncan. "During, or immediately after our onboarding period, we had 3 total laptop failures (likely due to inherited issues), it felt like Apex were doing their best to fix the problems, and it was refreshing to receive periodic updates (from our account manager) on the ongoing repairs.

[H5] James Wetherall, Wetherall's Financial Planning
The professional, responsive, and personalised IT support allows them to concentrate on what they do best: providing top-tier financial advice and services. "The fees are good value and enable me to get on with looking after my clients and running the practice without worrying about IT.

[H5] Kim Marlor, Krystal Clear Accounting
In the last year, it's been the invaluable help and support in terms of moving offices. So making sure that we did have the right in terms of Cyber Security and that we have the right infrastructure in place. So we've completely changed the infrastructure and it feels like we've grown up a lot. And also it was the fact that our account manager was also able to explain how we could be more productive and efficient, you know, should something go wrong. So if somebody leaves a laptop on a train, we can wipe the laptop remotely. So all these additional kind of support features that again, you wouldn't necessarily think about, but it just relieves that headache.

[H5] Steve Foster, Kingdom Services Group
Our company has grown considerably since Apex Computing first started to support us in 2009 and they have been pivotal in making sure our IT infrastructure has been able to support this growth. Our company operates 24/7 and monitors over 25,000 manned guards. Apex Computing has always responded quickly to solve any problems and never failed to answer the phone at any time.

[H5] Matthew Wilkinson, Pyranha Kayaks
As soon as we joined Apex Computing, we immediately noticed a sharp increase in the number of IT Support calls we were making; not because of any increase in the number of IT issues we were experiencing, but simply due to the fact that we knew any issues we might have would be fixed promptly and efficiently, and therefore had no inhibitions in calling on Apex Computing for help.

[H5] Pawel Klamann, David M Robinsons
Before adopting the Apex Cyber Security Sphere, our business faced fragmented cybersecurity solutions, gaps in staff training, and the challenge of keeping pace with rapidly evolving cyber threats. The Sphere streamlined our defences by centralizing our security tools and measures. Additionally, it provided comprehensive training for our staff, ensuring they're equipped to handle emerging threats. With the dynamic nature of cyber threats, having the Sphere ensures we stay current, safeguarding our most critical asset: data.

[H5] John Porter, Wrigley Claydon Solicitors
The main benefit of working with Apex is the responsiveness that we get. The help desk is really useful and supportive and we sometimes find that they've actually solved problems before we knew that we had them. The responsiveness, the friendliness from the approach that Daniel took with us all those years ago that seems to sift right through the business that whoever we deal with wants to deal with us, cares about what they can do for us, and the ethos across the company is second to none.

We identify vulnerabilities early, improving readiness and reducing the risk of costly incidents.

What is the difference between Apex Cyber Security Sphere and Managed Cyber Security Services?

The Apex Cyber Security Sphere is a comprehensive stack of curated cyber security solutions, while Managed Cyber Security Services focus on the day-t0-day monitoring, management and response needed to keep your environment secure.

A cyber security assessment helps identify vulnerabilities, uncover potential weaknesses and give you a clearer understanding of where your business may be exposed to risk. It is a useful starting point for improving your overall security position.
