Data breaches are becoming more common as security threats grow in sophistication — often caused by unpatched systems, misconfigurations, weak passwords, or poor security practices. Kick's proactive security monitoring service is designed to catch these risks early, combining vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence, and breach notifications into one managed service - protecting your data without slowing your team down.
The UK Government's most recent Cyber Security Breaches Survey found that ransomware attacks against UK businesses doubled year-on-year, and a significant share of businesses experience a cyber breach or attack every year. Waiting until an incident happens is no longer a viable strategy - proactive monitoring identifies weaknesses and warning signs before they become full-blown attacks.
Vulnerability Scanning
A fully automated service, hosted in Azure, that provides a point-in-time assessment of the devices on your network visible from the internet. We scan your public IP addresses and company website monthly, identifying and categorising vulnerabilities and unsupported software. You'll receive a summary report each month along with recommendations to remediate any risk, giving you behind-the-scenes visibility of your systems and how exposed they are.
NCSC Early Warning Service
We enrol your organisation in the National Cyber Security Centre's free Early Warning service, which processes multiple UK-focused threat intelligence feeds - including privileged sources not available elsewhere - to flag potential cyber attacks on your network. This includes, incident notifications, network abuse events and vulnerability alerts. We monitor and action any alerts received on your behalf.
Data Breach Notification
Our Email Address Data Breach Service alerts you if any email address on your company domain appears in a data breach anywhere in the world — along with any exposed details such as usernames, passwords, or phone numbers. This is a crucial early warning, since criminals frequently use "credential stuffing" - testing leaked username and password combinations against other services - to gain unauthorised access. Catching an exposure early can be the difference between a contained incident and a full-scale breach.
How often is vulnerability scanning carried out?
Your public IP addresses and company website are scanned monthly, with a summary report and remediation recommendations delivered each time.
What happens if a vulnerability or threat is detected?
Our team reviews and actions any alerts received through the NCSC Early Warning service or vulnerability scans, helping you understand the risk and the recommended next steps to remediate it.
Is this the same as antivirus or endpoint protection?
No. Proactive security monitoring focuses on identifying vulnerabilities, threat intelligence, and data exposure across your network and public-facing systems. It works alongside endpoint protection like SentinelOne EDR as part of a layered security approach, rather than replacing it.
What is credential stuffing, and why does it matter?
Credential stuffing is when cyber criminals take leaked username and password combinations and try them against other services, exploiting the fact that many people reuse credentials. Our Data Breach Notification service flags exposed company email addresses early, helping prevent this technique from succeeding.
Do you help with remediation, or just alerting?
We monitor and action alerts on your behalf, and each vulnerability report includes clear recommendations to remediate identified risks.
