Ransomware doesn't just lock files —
it locks down your entire project

The threat to construction is growing — and underestimated

Construction is now one of the most targeted sectors for ransomware. Attackers know that project deadlines create leverage: a firm mid-contract cannot afford days of downtime, and the pressure to pay a ransom to restore access to project files, BIM data, and communication systems can be intense. High-value subcontractor payments also make construction firms a prime target for business email compromise.

Cyber Essentials certification is increasingly required for public sector projects and Tier 1 contractor supply chains — and it closes many of the gaps attackers actually exploit. If you're tendering for work that requires it, we handle the full process from readiness assessment through to certification.

What we do for construction and civil engineering firms

• Cyber Essentials certification — end-to-end support, increasingly required for public sector and Tier 1 supply chain compliance
• Ransomware readiness assessment — identify single points of failure across project management, BIM, ERP, and subcontractor portal systems
• Subcontractor and supply chain security — third-party access to your systems is one of the most exploited attack paths in the sector
• Payment and invoice fraud controls — protect against BEC attacks targeting high-value subcontractor and materials payments
• Backup and recovery audit — verify project data and BIM files can be restored without paying ransom, within a realistic project timeline
• Incident response planning — clear escalation steps if systems go down during a live project phase, before the call comes from site
