Key Lessons from the HKPF 2025 Report

01

Remote Access & Edge Devices

Primary intrusion vectors. Attack surface management and identity hardening are top defensive priorities.

02

Backup Isolation

Backup systems must not share authentication with production — avoid simultaneous compromise and recovery failure.

03

Log Visibility

Insufficient log visibility severely hinders investigation and attribution — must be addressed.

Everything included

Built for practices that can't hire an MSSP

Nine hands-on capabilities covering the boring-but-critical parts of security, so you spend your time on client work.

Secure Office & Remote Wi-Fi

Client isolation, WPA3 enterprise encryption, guest VLAN segregation, and protection against rogue access points in shared commercial buildings.

Who we serve

Practices with a duty of care

Boutique firms holding confidential client files and zero tolerance for downtime.

What clients say

After the first engagement

"We found out our client files were one phishing click from exposure. NovaGuard fixed the Wi-Fi, set up MFA for the whole team, and explained everything in plain language."

Law practice, Central
8-person boutique firm

"The PDPO kit saved us days. PICS statements, vendor screening, breach plan — everything our auditor asked for was already in place."

CPA firm, Causeway Bay
12 practitioners

"They showed us exactly where staff were pasting client data into public AI tools, then gave us a policy and a safer setup. No jargon, no fear-mongering."

Consultancy, TST
5-person advisory team

"Managed Guardian means I stop thinking about patches and backups. The quarterly check-ups catch things before they become problems."

Financial planner
Sole practitioner

"Our DMARC finally went to p=reject without breaking anything. Patient intake emails still land — spoofed ones don't."

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I really need a cybersecurity consultant with fewer than 10 staff?

Yes. Attackers target any business holding client data, and ransomware — 43 cases recorded in 2025 per HKPF — needs no company size threshold. The PDPO also applies to every data user, with no small-business exemption.

What makes you different from a big MSSP?

We are hands-on, not tool-vendors. A named consultant walks your office, fixes the Wi-Fi, configures your email, and trains your staff. You get one accountable person and transparent fixed pricing — not a call centre and a renewal salesperson.

Can we keep using AI tools like ChatGPT safely?

Yes — with guardrails. The Safe AI Add-on maps where confidential data is at risk, switches you to data-excluded enterprise tiers where needed, and gives you a short acceptable-use policy your staff will actually read.

How quickly can you start?

The Cyber Health Check is usually completed within 2–3 business days of booking. Secure Start Deploy is typically finished within two weeks, including the staff workshop.

Do you work with our existing IT provider?

Often. Many clients keep their day-to-day IT support and add NovaGuard for security, compliance, and AI governance. We coordinate with your existing provider and document hand-off procedures.
