About us:
Looking out for small businesses, content creators and non-profits
Welcome
Based in East Sussex. UK, elodie cybersecurity is mad about ensuring small businesses, content creators and non-profits have the protections they need, in order to scale securely, without interruption from nasty cyber attackers or stomach sinking errors.
We’re determined to make cybersecurity accessible, affordable and empowering by helping our community develop intuitive measures and build a positive security culture and mindset. We also work hard to provide solid digital health and wellbeing advice to those who need it.
Our values
Empowerment
We believe in lifting up our community with the knowledge and tools they need to protect their digital assets effectively.
Innovation
We continuously seek to innovate, ensuring our community has access to the latest and most effective cybersecurity tools and strategies.
Simplicity
We strive to demystify cybersecurity by providing solutions that are easy to understand and implement.
Inclusivity
We are especially committed to supporting minority-owned, and low income business owners, fostering diversity and inclusivity in the digital realm.
What we can help with:
Cybersecurity solutions that fit your business (and budget)
We believe solid security can be achieved with simple, affordable and accessible solutions that can be tailored to your needs.
Training & awareness
Rather than fancy tech, it’s you and your team that are key to protecting your business. Stats suggest that as much as 95% of cyber attacks are down to human error. Safeguard against them with engaging training and tools for you and your staff.
Developing defences against cyber attacks
We take a holistic approach to security and have a number of tools under our belt that can protect against attacks, breaches and ransomware.
Building business resilience
Downtime due to cyber incidents can massively cost, and potentially cripple your business. We want to help you avoid this so you can scale securely and build longevity.
Creating a Positive Security Culture & Mindset
Empower your team to look after theirs and the businesses’ security with clear policies, practices and incentives.
Finding digital health & wellness
With so much of our work and life now online, such an epic amount of screentime inevitably brings with it some negative affects. We will help you find balance, whilst increasing productivity.
How we aim to deliver:
To keep it short & sweet
We know the most valuable asset you have is time. That’s why everything we create is designed to cut through the noise and get to the point, providing clean and clear steps and strategies.
To provide actually relevant advice and break it down into simple steps
We’re not fond of acronyms, chat about coding or advice that requires a team of IT experts to implement. We know what you’re looking for as a small business, content creators or non-profit and speak your language.
To provide a range of options according to affordability
Solid security doesn’t have to cost thousands. We endeavour to provide advice on solutions to suit every budget, but we’ll be honest and ready to refer you on the rare occasion you need to invest the bigger bucks - should you have the resources.
What we can’t help with (yet):
-
We can assist you in developing a incident response strategy so you’re prepared should disaster strike.
However, there will be times when an incident’s impact is so great a specialist cybersecurity, PR or legal firm is required - potentially with expertise in digital forensics, crisis management or other areas we are currently not equipped for. We can point you in the right direction though, so please get in touch.
-
A brilliant strategy in cybersecurity is to hire an ethical hacker to put your defences to the test. The process unearths vulnerabilities you can then work into your strategy and mitigate appropriately.
This isn’t in our toolkit. However, we can assist with cybersecurity audits. A simpler process, requiring minimal investment that uncovers vulnerabilities and helps you prioritise your strategy.
-
We recommend ‘off the shelf’ defensive tools we think are robust, effective and suit the needs for small businesses, content creators and non-profits. We also provide training materials and assist with crafting watertight strategies, policies and processes that enhance business security.
We don’t, however, design and implement network solutions that require secure coding or suit the needs of medium- large businesses.
Hey, I’m Madeline - the founder of elodie
After I was lucky enough to enjoy a fulfilling and international career in the security sector, I built on my qualifications with Google, Cisco and UCL in effort to provide advice on cybersecurity to those who need it most.
elodie was created to empower small brands, content creators and non profits to flourish without fear, by providing accessible but robust cybersecurity advice that keeps them protected. With a BSc in Psychology and MSc in Security Studies, I’m especially obsessed with the interplay between cybercrime and human behaviour, but know my way around the odd technical tool too.
My goal for elodie is to provide clear and relevant security advice with minimal to zero acronyms, technical terms and yawn inducing white papers. Most importantly I hope to build a warm and welcoming space on the internet that provides support that is time and budget friendly for those unable to outsource their security.
On the weekends? I’m a bit of a homebird. I love stomping about the Sussex countryside, landing at old pubs with friends and being in the kitchen (whilst listening to a very embarrassing spotify mix).
