Security Essentials Overview
Sapphire’s technical team will provide you with the best technical installation services currently available. Its consultants have a wide breadth of experience across the industry, vendors and products. This experience enables the technical team to deliver secure and stable solutions, when the security software has to interact with other software and the operating systems, that’s when the experience counts.

Of course running any IT department will have its time, budget and resource pressures. This is where bringing in external help with your new system installation is money well spent. Sapphire’s consultants won’t just do the install and be out the door, it’s all about knowledge transfer, ensuring your department can cope with the routine issues that will come up. And for those issues that aren’t routine? Then there is always our helpdesk which is available post installation.
Many of Sapphire’s consultants have experience working within the penetration testing team and are therefore already aware of the pitfalls and issues to look out for. The installation of any new software is always performed with a view to what is best for the business, but equally it will be configured to be as secure as possible. The Knowledge gained from penetration testing feeds back into the way the technical team conduct the installation, so your new solution is hardened by a Sapphire consultant as it comes out of the box.
