Meta Business users - beware this scam: -

We received another absolute quality email scam from purportedly Meta relating to one of our customers' business Facebook/Instagram pages. The email comes in like this:

"We are reaching out regarding important compliance issues identified in your recent advertising activities. After reviewing your account, we have observed several concerns that require immediate action to ensure the integrity of your ads and to avoid potential account restrictions."

Our customer uses this service a lot with their advertising and marketing, so this, on the surface, seems quite legit, and they almost clicked into the prompts. They, as a forethought, asked for our opinion.

A slightly deeper dive, and you can see from the originating email address ([email protected]) that this is clearly nobody associated with Meta, and from the Gmail address and unbusinesslike email name (obscured in this example), there is something amiss.

Last week the MOD's science and technology arm released a fascinating set of challenges around implementing security-by-design principles across UK defence and it's industry friends. With some relevant experience in-house, we decided we'd reflect on this publication with some thoughts derived from our time in industry supporting in critical areas highlighted by this problem book.

From competency frameworks to knowledge sharing, talent development to building shared terms of reference for risk - there are valuable lessons for organisations of all sizes.

This article is best paired with your Monday morning coffee and the business-honed optimism to seek out challenges with long and complex timeframes.

In today's threat landscape, vulnerability management isn't just for large enterprises anymore. But when solutions cost £3,590 per year for a single license or £199 per asset annually, how can smaller teams or solo consultants protect themselves in a way that integrates with your mission but doesn't break the bank?

We've developed an approach specifically designed for small and growing businesses, as a part of our mission to bring fundamental security controls to everyone.

We've got the cost for per-device vulnerability management down to 25p per agent per month on smaller plans, and are running this model just over cost, with a transparent model that only makes money on any consultancy that arises out of offering this service.

In addition to a web-based dashboard, users get a self-service dashboard with access to additional reports in spreadsheets or PDFs.

Our small business-friendly model:

- £10 monthly subscription for organizations with fewer than 50 devices, and ongoing costs of 25p per enrolled device.

- Self-service scanning to build in-house expertise

- Flexible support when you need it from the ADAS team, using pre-purchased blocks of consultancy hours to ensure you know exactly what you're spending on support.

- Security fundamentals should be accessible to everyone, regardless of size or budget.

"We've got antivirus - isn't that enough?"

It's a question we hear all the time.

Short answer: No.

Here's why.

Cyber Essentials covers far more than just antivirus.

It's about making sure your entire business is protected, not just your laptops.

Here's what it looks at:
1. Are your firewalls set up securely
2. Are staff using strong passwords and two-factor authentication
3. Are all devices patched and updated
4. Can you control who accesses what
5. Are you preventing malware before it spreads

Antivirus is only one piece of the puzzle.

Cyber Essentials checks your full foundation and gives you a government-backed certificate to prove it.

It's also one of the fastest ways to show clients, suppliers and partners that you take cybersecurity seriously.

Here at ADAS-LTD Cybersecurity, we make the certification process simple, clear, & tailored to SMEs.

Most SMEs are focused on protecting what they’ve built.

But the ones seeing real progress in cybersecurity?
They’re getting proactive – not just reactive.

It’s easy to put cybersecurity on the back burner when you are managing day-to-day operations.

But cyber threats are evolving, and SMEs are increasingly being targeted.

That’s why more businesses are stepping up early.

They’re building resilience before there’s a breach.

One of the most practical steps? Cyber Essentials certification.

It is designed for small businesses.
It’s government-backed.
& it helps protect against 80 percent of common cyber threats.

Plus, it builds trust with clients and opens the door to new opportunities (especially for those working with government or larger contracts).

If you are thinking about strengthening your cyber defences this quarter, we’d love to help.

We make the certification process simple, straightforward, and tailored to SMEs.

The one document clients are now asking for before signing a deal?

Cyber Essentials certification.

More businesses are making it a requirement, especially for suppliers handling sensitive data or working in the public sector.

It is no longer just a “nice to have”.
It has become a dealbreaker.

We’ve had clients come to us in a panic after being asked, “Are you Cyber Essentials certified?”

…and realising the answer was no.

Here’s what Cyber Essentials gives you:
- A clear framework to strengthen your cybersecurity
- Recognition as a credible and responsible partner
- A green light to bid for government contracts.

As a trusted certification body, we’ve helped dozens of UK organisations get certified – without stress.

If you have been asked for certification – or want to be ready before you are – let’s chat!

Think Cyber Essentials is just a tick-box exercise?

Think again.

Yes, it’s a government-backed certification.
Yes, it helps you win contracts.
But it is a powerful risk management tool.

We’ve worked with companies that thought they were “too small” to be targeted... until they weren’t.

After certification, many discovered:
Misconfigured firewalls
Weak passwords across systems
Unpatched devices they’d forgotten about

Cyber Essentials forces you to pause, assess, and fix the basics – the very things that prevent 80% of the common cyber attacks.

It isn’t just about passing a test.
It’s about building resilience, credibility, and peace of mind.
We guide businesses through the process clearly, quickly, and with full of support.

If you are curious whether it’s right for you, drop a comment or message us directly. Always happy to help!
