Hosted: managed security, IT and telecoms for business

Hosted presents itself as a complete technology provider for organisations that want to overhaul their digital infrastructure. Its offer is organised around three practice areas — security, IT and cloud, and telecoms — and the company states that every solution it recommends places security at its core, an approach it describes as the “circle of security”. The firm says its specialists bring more than 50 years of combined experience at the cutting edge of business technology.

Security services

The security practice covers protection against internal and external threats and data protection. Specific services listed include cyber protection, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+), SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) with explanatory material on what SASE is, its top five benefits and what it is not, and dark web monitoring.

IT and cloud portfolio

Under IT and cloud, Hosted lists managed IT services and fully managed support, alongside a set of as-a-service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Desktop as a Service (DaaS). The portfolio also includes endpoint management, server management, Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure, cloud backup and disaster recovery.

Telecoms and communications

The telecoms line covers business mobiles, business broadband and VoIP phone systems. The site also references IoT, CCaaS (Contact Centre as a Service), UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) and collaboration tools.

Clients and case work

Hosted highlights a case study with 23.5 Degrees and a project described as redefining Starbucks’ security platform. A testimonial attributed to Kathryn Platt, Head of Indirect Partners at Vodafone UK, refers to a partnership that has evolved and strengthened for over 25 years and to collaboration in the telecommunications sector. The site also carries comments from a company operations director, a CTO and two managing directors, presented as client feedback.

News and guidance

The news section includes articles on key cyberthreats and trends in 2024 so far, a security checklist for working from home, guidance on migration and a piece on the circle of security. These materials sit alongside the service pages and case studies.
