Maximise Microsoft 365: Secure Your Business and Support Flexible Work

Protecting your business from cyber threats is essential, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you're already using Microsoft 365 or considering it, you likely have access to built-in security tools that can safeguard your business and enable flexible work.

Why Cybersecurity Matters for Businesses

Small and medium-sized businesses are common targets for cyberattacks, which can lead to stolen data, downtime, and reputational damage. Fortunately, with Microsoft 365’s integrated security features, you can strengthen your defences—even without a deep IT background.

Unlock the Security Tools in Your Microsoft 365 Subscription

Many Microsoft 365 plans include powerful tools like Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Defender, and Microsoft Purview at no additional cost. These tools protect your data, devices, and sensitive information, ensuring regulatory compliance and seamless integration.

Key Security Tools in Microsoft 365:

• Intune: Manage and secure devices, enforcing security policies whether employees use personal or company-owned devices.

• Defender: Real-time protection against malware and cyber threats, blocking attacks before they can harm your business.

• Purview: Advanced data governance and protection, helping meet compliance standards like GDPR.

How Microsoft 365 Secures Your Business

2. Threat Detection: Defender blocks threats in real-time, reducing the risk of malware and attacks.

3. Data Governance: Purview ensures sensitive information is protected and managed for compliance.

4. Flexible Work: Intune safeguards data across both personal and corporate devices, supporting remote work securely.

5. Seamless Integration: Microsoft 365's security tools work effortlessly with the rest of the platform, ensuring smooth integration into your existing workflows without the need for extensive IT expertise.

If you're not using Microsoft 365 yet, its integrated security features and productivity tools make it a great choice. In addition to familiar apps like Word and Excel, it offers tools like Intune, Defender, and Purview to keep your business secure.

Collaboration And Community Drives Footfall In Bromley

“The BID team is busy collaborating with partners to bring two big events to the town centre in the coming months. First our Black History Month will showcase different ways to make a difference to the community and then our spectacular lights switch on will mark the arrival of Christmas, entertaining and lighting up the town.”

Frances Forrest BID Manager Your Bromley BID

Healthy Footfall in Bromley

Visitor, worker and local resident visits to any town centre is critical for the majority of businesses - in particular retail, hospitality and leisure sectors. In turn, with a thriving High Street ‘ground floor’ economy, it is easier for businesses to attract and retain quality staff. We collaborate with our local businesses to pool resources, maximise buy-in and to make big events amazing! Our latest monthly (September) footfall figures for Bromley show an increase of 9.9% Year On Year compared with a drop of 2% for UK Market Towns. Our town is thriving and is the perfect place to build a business.

Make a Difference this Black History Month

Sunday 19th October, 11am – 8pm

On Bromley High Street, visitors can support black owned businesses, learn at African drumming and textiles workshops, enjoy live music and delicious Nigerian, Caribbean and Indian food.
