Ben Pollard, Managing Director of Cyber Security Specialists, established the company in 2015 with a vision to deliver no-nonsense and friendly cyber security services. With over 15 years of experience in the field, including extensive work with IBM and Capita in the UK public and financial sectors, Ben’s goal was to offer tailored solutions to businesses of all sizes.
Based in Altrincham, a location he holds dear due to its evolving business landscape and vibrant tech community, Ben chose Altrincham Business Park as the headquarters for Cyber Security Specialists. This strategic placement allows the company to engage closely with local enterprises while serving a global clientele remotely.
Cyber Security Specialists take pride in their human-centered approach, ensuring clients not only benefit from robust security measures but also from a personalised service experience. Services range from consultancy and managed security solutions to specialized offerings like Cyber Essentials Plus certification and Penetration Testing. Their flagship service, CS 360, offers comprehensive outsourced security management, supporting clients’ internal teams with expert tools and incident response capabilities – without the expense and work of hiring an internal team.
In today’s digital age, cyber security consciousness is paramount. Ben emphasizes the increasing threats posed by hackers worldwide, underscoring the importance of safeguarding sensitive information and complying with regulatory frameworks such as the Data Protection Act and GDPR. The potential financial and reputational damage from data breaches makes investing in robust cyber security measures a crucial business priority.
Looking ahead, Cyber Security Specialists aim to position themselves as the leading cyber security consultancy in the North West. Ben and his diverse team are dedicated to not only protecting businesses but also contributing positively to the community. They actively support local initiatives, such as educating children on internet safety and partnering with global brands to sponsor a community festival which raises funds and awareness for mental health and wellbeing.
