Prevent email attacks that devastate small UK businesses
Advanced email security that protects small businesses from sophisticated cyber threats – with 99.91% malware detection, GDPR compliance and zero business disruption
Business email security that actually keeps threats out of your inbox
Most cyber attacks aimed at small businesses still start with an email.
Not a dramatic “you’ve been hacked” moment. Something quieter.
An invoice that looks right. A supplier update. A message that feels routine.
Someone clicks. Or replies. Or shares information they shouldn’t.
And by the time anyone realises, the damage is already done.
What we often see
- Phishing emails that get through Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
- Supplier or invoice fraud that looks completely legitimate
- Accounts compromised without any malware involved
- Suspicious inbox rules quietly hiding emails
- Staff under pressure making quick decisions
- “We thought our email security would catch that”
- No visibility of what is being blocked or missed
- Too much reliance on default protection
- No clear way to review or investigate incidents
- No backup if emails are deleted or altered
Why default email security is not enough anymore
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace include email protection. That is a good starting point.
The problem is that modern phishing attacks are designed to look normal. They are targeted, well-written, and often sent from compromised accounts.
That means they do not always trigger traditional filters.
Once they land in the inbox, it becomes a human decision.
That is where most incidents begin.
What good email security actually looks like
Stronger filtering
Catching phishing, impersonation and business email compromise attempts before they reach the inbox.
Post-delivery protection
Removing malicious emails even after they have been delivered.
Clear visibility
Understanding what is being blocked, what is getting through, and why.
Joined-up security
Working alongside identity protection, endpoint security and backup.
Where something like Check Point Email Security (Avanan) fits
If you are using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, this is where a platform like Check Point comes in.
It sits inside your email environment, rather than in front of it, which means it can see more, understand context better, and act faster when something suspicious appears.
It is designed to deal with the kinds of attacks that slip past default protection.
How Black Swan helps
Email security is not just about adding another layer. It is about making sure the right controls are in place, that they are configured properly, and that someone is paying attention to what is happening.
We help businesses across Chesterfield, Sheffield and the surrounding areas understand their risk, improve their email protection, and connect it to the rest of their cyber security.
Most businesses we speak to are surprised what is getting through. If you want us to take a look, we can show you.
Book a business email security reviewEmail security on its own is not enough
Most email attacks do not happen in isolation. They rely on stolen credentials, rushed decisions, vulnerable devices, or a lack of visibility once something gets through.
That is why we look at email security as part of a wider approach, not a single fix.
