The threat to logistics is specific — and underestimated

Ransomware groups know that downtime in logistics is catastrophic. A two-day outage doesn't just cost the ransom — it costs delivery penalties, driver downtime, client churn, and reputational damage that takes months to repair. The attacks that hit haulage businesses rarely start with a sophisticated exploit. They start with an unpatched system, a weak password, or a phishing email to your operations inbox.

Most logistics businesses we speak to have the basics in place — AV, backups, maybe some MFA — but significant gaps remain in the areas attackers actually exploit: email authentication, TMS access controls, backup integrity, and incident response planning. Getting Cyber Essentials certified closes many of those gaps and is increasingly required by procurement teams and insurers.

What we do for logistics and haulage operators

  • Cyber Essentials certification — end-to-end support through UK government certification, increasingly required for tender compliance and cyber insurance
  • Ransomware readiness assessment — identify single points of failure across your TMS, ERP, telematics, and driver comms before attackers do
  • Backup and recovery audit — verify your data can actually be restored without paying a ransom, and that recovery time is realistic for your operation
  • Email security review — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration to stop attackers spoofing your domain to suppliers, customers, and staff
  • Incident response playbook — clear steps for your team if systems go down at 3am, before the phone calls start
  • Staff awareness guidance — practical and targeted, not a generic tick-box exercise
