A Modern Flexible Approach For Your Business
At Millgate, we help organisations create clear, effective cybersecurity policies that strengthen security culture, reduce risk, and support regulatory compliance. A well‑structured cybersecurity policy is the backbone of every secure business, without it, even the best tools can be misconfigured, misused, or ignored.
Our specialists work with you to define practical, enforceable policies tailored to your industry, threat profile, and operational needs. We remove the complexity and translate cyber best practices into clear expectations your teams can follow.
Flexible Solutions for Every Business
Security Governance
We help establish roles, responsibilities, and decision‑making structures to ensure cybersecurity is owned at every level.
Acceptable Use Policies (AUP)
Clear guidelines for how systems, devices, networks, and data should be accessed and used across your organisation.
Access & Identity Policies
From authentication standards to privileged access controls, we create frameworks that protect you from credential‑based attacks.
Data Security & Classification
Policies that define how sensitive data is stored, shared, protected, and disposed of.
Incident Response & Reporting
We build response policies that guide staff through detection, escalation, response, and recovery.
Backup & Business Continuity Standards
Ensuring your organisation has documented expectations to safeguard and restore critical systems.
Compliance Alignment
Policies shaped around UK and sector‑specific requirements such as GDPR, Cyber Essentials, and ISO 27001.
Why It Matters
Well‑defined policies reduce human error, support compliance obligations, and provide a unified defence against modern threats. With Millgate, you gain policy frameworks that are practical, aligned to real‑world risks, and ready to put into action.
Compliance Frameworks
Staying compliant is essential for avoiding penalties, protecting reputation, and maintaining customer trust. Millgate helps you develop cybersecurity policies that align with the industry frameworks and legal requirements relevant to your sector, such as:
- Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
- ISO 27001
- GDPR / UK GDPR
- NIS2 (where applicable)
- PCI‑DSS for payment environments
- Sector‑specific regulations (education, healthcare, finance etc.)
Incident Response & Incident Planning
A strong cybersecurity policy doesn’t just outline how to prevent incidents, it defines what happens when they occur. Millgate creates incident response policies that give your teams a clear, structured plan to follow during a cyber event.
Your policy will define:
- How incidents are classified and prioritised
- Who must be notified and when
- Roles and responsibilities during an incident
- Containment procedures
- Communication and escalation paths
- Forensic evidence handling
- Post‑incident reporting and lessons learned
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Policies
Today’s workforce expects to use personal devices for email, collaboration, and remote access, but without a clear policy, BYOD environments introduce significant security risk.
Millgate designs BYOD policies that protect both the business and the user, covering:
- Device eligibility and requirements
- Mobile device management (MDM) controls
- Encryption, passcode and security baseline expectations
- Access restrictions for personal devices
- Data separation rules (work vs personal)
- Acceptable use guidance
- Remote wipe procedures
- User privacy considerations
We structure BYOD policies to balance security, usability, and employee trust, ensuring your organisation stays protected without making personal device use complicated.
