FAQs

What is Active Protect?

Active Protect is a simple but powerful app from CyberSmart that helps keep your business devices safe and secure—all day, every day. It checks your systems for common risks, helps you fix them fast, and includes built-in cybersecurity training modules for your team.

What does Active Protect do?

Once installed, Active Protect continuously monitors your devices for security issues like:

  • Outdated software or missing updates

  • Weak or reused passwords

  • Inactive antivirus or firewall

  • Insecure device settings

It also includes bite-sized training modules to help your team understand cyber threats and how to avoid them—no tech jargon required.

What devices does Active Protect work on?

Active Protect supports:

  • Windows and macOS laptops/desktops

  • Android and iOS mobile devices

That means your team can stay protected whether they’re in the office or working remotely.

Do I need Active Protect to get Cyber Essentials certified?

No—but it makes it a lot easier. Active Protect helps you meet the key technical controls required for Cyber Essentials, and it keeps checking your systems after certification too—so you stay compliant all year round.

Is Active Protect secure?

Yes. Active Protect runs quietly in the background and doesn’t access your files or private data. It simply checks your security settings and system status.

Who is Active Protect for?

It’s ideal for:

  • Small businesses with no in-house IT team

  • Remote and hybrid teams

  • Anyone working toward or maintaining Cyber Essentials certification

If you want peace of mind without the tech stress, Active Protect is for you.

Is it difficult to set-up Active Protect?

Not at all. It’s a simple download and takes just a few minutes to install. Your team can be protected in no time, with minimal input required.

What’s included in the training?

Your team gets access to short, easy-to-understand cybersecurity training modules, covering topics like:

  • Password best practices

  • Phishing and scams

  • Device safety

  • Safe browsing

These are designed to boost awareness and reduce risk—especially useful for small businesses without dedicated IT training.

How does the Active Protect pricing work?

Active Protect when purchased on its own is priced per endpoint. So if each staff member has a laptop and a mobile phone then that would require two endpoints per user. Pricing is availabel per staff member when purchased in conjunction with Cyber Essentials.
