Epis Technology & Synology: Your Blueprint for the UK’s New Cybersecurity Standards
Cyber Awareness Month 2025: Strengthening Resilience with Epis Technology
Cyber Awareness Month 2025 arrives at a crucial moment for UK organisations. Threats such as ransomware, supply chain breaches, and targeted attacks are evolving faster than many businesses can respond to. Convey a clear message: effective cybersecurity relies on robust… As digital risks grow, the UK government is preparing major updates to its cybersecurity framework, emphasising resilience, data protection, and recovery readiness.
Two developments are expected to shape the next era of cyber defence:
• The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill
• The National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) v4.0
For businesses, these changes convey a clear message: effective cybersecurity relies on robust data protection. Epis Technology (ET), as a Synology-focused IT infrastructure and backup specialist, helps organisations prepare for these new requirements with reliable, scalable, and secure data protection systems.
What’s Changing in the UK Cyber Landscape
The new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will expand regulations beyond the sectors currently covered by NIS. More organisations managed service providers, digital infrastructure teams, and critical suppliers will soon be required to demonstrate high standards of cyber maturity.
Key areas of emphasis include:
Timely incident reporting
Organisations must notify regulators of cyber incidents within 24 hours and provide detailed updates within 72 hours.
Stronger recovery capability
A key requirement is demonstrating that essential services can resume quickly after disruption.
Supply chain accountability
Businesses must assess and manage cyber risks within their vendor ecosystem, ensuring that all partners meet security expectations.
Transparency with customers
Significant digital service incidents must be disclosed promptly.
These measures reflect a shift toward resilience—ensuring organisations can operate, recover, and protect data even under attack.
What Organisations Should Do Now
You don’t need to wait for the Bill’s final implementation. Building resilience today will reduce risks and strengthen compliance readiness.
Assess your cyber maturity.
Use CAF v4.0 to evaluate governance, protection, detection, and recovery capabilities.
Review your data protection strategy.
Backups must be complete, immutable, isolated, and regularly validated. ET helps organisations deploy Synology-based solutions that ensure rapid and reliable data recovery.
Work with trusted IT specialists.
Partnering with experts such as Epis Technology enables organisations to centralise protection, streamline backup management, and strengthen business continuity.
How Synology’s Data Protection Framework Supports Cyber Resilience
Resilience begins with confidence that data is protected, recoverable, and always under organisational control. Synology’s advanced data protection ecosystem supports the foundational pillars required by CAF v4.0 and the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill.
Key Synology capabilities include:
Immutable and air-gapped backups
Critical backup data cannot be modified or deleted, even by administrators, reducing the risk of ransomware impact.
Offline and isolated backup copies
Clean backup versions are stored away from primary systems, ensuring recovery remains possible even after a breach.
Global deduplication and Btrfs checksums
These technologies enhance backup efficiency while protecting data integrity and detecting silent corruption.
Sandboxed recovery testing
Businesses can test recovery plans safely, validate backup health, and demonstrate compliance readiness.
Centralised protection with Synology ActiveProtect
For organisations managing multiple workloads, ActiveProtect offers a unified dashboard, role-based access controls, and integration with Active Directory/LDAP. These features directly support governance, access control, and secure recovery requirements outlined by regulators.
How Epis Technology Strengthens Cyber Resilience with Synology
Epis Technology integrates Synology’s powerful data protection tools into complete IT resilience strategies tailored to the needs of UK organisations. ET helps businesses:
• Deploy secure, high-performance Synology NAS systems
• Implement immutable and off-site backup strategies
• Centralise Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backups
• Run automated recovery testing
• Optimise cybersecurity through access control, encryption, and monitoring
• Build hybrid cloud environments using Synology C2 for regulatory compliance and scalability
By combining enterprise expertise with Synology’s advanced infrastructure, ET ensures businesses can withstand attacks, recover quickly, and meet emerging UK compliance requirements.
Prepare for the Future of Cyber Resilience
Cyber Awareness Month 2025 is a reminder that resilience is no longer optional; it is essential. The most successful organisations will be those that act now, review their defences, strengthen data protection, and ensure that every critical system is backed by a reliable recovery strategy.
With Epis Technology and Synology, businesses gain the tools, support, and expertise needed to operate confidently in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
