What Gennady Yagupov Offers
Cybersecurity is a vast landscape, and Gennady’s services are designed to meet a wide range of needs — from foundational digital hygiene to advanced incident response. His offerings are categorised into four primary domains:
1. Digital Hygiene Services
The frontline of cybersecurity begins with digital hygiene — the habits, behaviours, and practices that prevent attacks before they begin.
Key Services:
- Device Hardening: Securing laptops, smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices against intrusion.
- Software Audit: Identifying outdated, vulnerable, or misconfigured software across your environment.
- Secure Configuration: Best-practice settings for operating systems, browsers, and key applications.
- Account Hygiene: Password management, two-factor authentication setup, and credential audits.
- Employee Cyber Etiquette Training: Helping businesses create a human firewall through simple, practical training modules.
These foundational steps form the basis of all other cybersecurity efforts. Clean, well-maintained digital systems are harder to breach and easier to defend.
2. Data Protection & Privacy Consulting
In an era of data-driven commerce and GDPR compliance, how you handle data matters. Gennady Yagupov provides detailed consulting on how to manage, store, and protect your data in line with UK and EU regulations.
Key Services:
- GDPR Compliance Audits: Ensuring your data practices are compliant, transparent, and secure.
- Encryption Solutions: Implementing end-to-end encryption for communication, storage, and transfer of sensitive information.
- Secure Backups: Designing backup protocols that are automated, encrypted, and disaster-resilient.
- Cloud Security Assessments: Evaluating the safety and configuration of your cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, etc.).
- Privacy-by-Design Strategy: Embedding privacy into every level of your business operations.
Protecting data isn’t just about compliance — it’s about trust. Whether it’s your customers or your own team, confidence in your digital systems fosters better relationships and smoother operations.
3. Vulnerability Assessments & Penetration Testing
Understanding where you’re vulnerable is the first step to getting secure. Gennady offers both manual and automated assessments tailored to your infrastructure.
Key Services:

Each test is delivered with a full report, complete with prioritised action points, technical insights, and board-level summaries.
4. Incident Response & Recovery Planning
When the worst happens, Gennady is the one you want on your side. A quick, clear-headed response is the key to limiting damage and restoring trust.

Cybersecurity in the UK: The New Frontier
The UK is one of the most targeted regions in Europe for cyberattacks, with SMEs being disproportionately affected. According to recent government data, over 39% of UK businesses reported a cyber breach or attack in the past year. The most common vectors? Phishing, compromised credentials, and outdated software — all of which can be prevented with proper digital hygiene.
With new threats emerging from AI-driven attacks, ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) gangs, and state-sponsored cyberespionage, no organisation — however small — is immune. Gennady Yagupov is here to help you stay one step ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
A cybersecurity consultant like Gennady Yagupov evaluates your digital risks, strengthens your systems, and helps you build safe practices across your business or household. This includes everything from configuring your devices securely to developing full-scale data protection strategies. The goal is simple: reduce your exposure to threats and give you peace of mind.
Not at all. In fact, small and mid-sized businesses are the most frequently targeted because they often lack in-house security expertise. Gennady works extensively with SMEs to provide affordable, practical defences that scale with your business.
Digital hygiene refers to the habits and tools that keep your online life clean and secure — like using strong passwords, updating software, avoiding unsafe links, and properly configuring devices. It’s the cybersecurity equivalent of washing your hands: a small routine that prevents big problems.
If you run a website, manage client data, or operate cloud-based services, regular penetration testing is a smart investment. It simulates a real-world cyberattack to identify weaknesses in your digital infrastructure — before a malicious actor does.
The initial consultation is a friendly, no-pressure conversation (usually 30-45 minutes) where Gennady will:
- Learn about your digital environment
- Identify possible vulnerabilities
- Recommend next steps or packages
There’s no commitment required, and everything discussed is 100% confidential.
Yes. All services offered are fully aligned with UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 standards. Gennady also helps clients achieve and maintain GDPR compliance with regular audits and recommendations.
