A complete solution for digital transformation
IT security for London businesses
The cyber security landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift. Attackers are using tools like generative AI to automate attacks with higher frequency, and create convincing and targeted phishing campaigns that mimic legitimate messages. For London businesses, this means the human factor is more relevant and vulnerable than ever.
From our origins in software to becoming an independent network operator, we’ve always stayed ahead of the curve. We own and operate our own secure data centre campus, meaning your data security isn’t outsourced abroad. Our end-to-end control allows us to implement rigorous protections across our network, serving over 500 organisations and multiple major businesses in London, from Lloyd’s broker Ambris to bullion specialist Baird & Co.

Cyber security in London FAQs
Can you help us achieve Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation?
Yes! As an official assessment centre, we can carry out the technical audit as well as offering consultation. This ensures your business is fully certified to implement cyber security protocols, providing a single point of accountability for your entire security posture. Find out more about our Cyber Essentials consultancy in London.
What is the benefit of Sota’s independent data centres for security?
Most providers host your data on public clouds. Sota owns its own private, high-security data centres in Kent. This means your data resides on our own hardware, behind our own physical and digital perimeters, providing an extra layer of sovereignty and control.
Why is cyber resilience better than just cyber security?
Cyber security is a process of building barriers that prevent cyber threats from breaching your IT network. By contrast, cyber resilience is about ensuring your business can survive and continue operating even if a breach occurs. Our SotaProtect service provides detection, response, and rapid recovery to keep your business running no matter what.
