Managed IT & Cyber Security for Construction Companies

Modern construction businesses need more than a helpdesk. They need a managed partner who governs Microsoft 365, supports a mobile and site-based workforce, layers cyber security, maintains tested backups, provides resilient connectivity for site offices and offers senior strategic input. Reactive break-fix is no longer enough – firms running active projects, subcontractor networks and tight programmes can’t afford queue-based support.

Start with the fundamentals: Intune-managed laptops, tablets and phones, MFA on every account, Conditional Access policies, secure VPN or zero-trust access, and resilient site office connectivity with 4G/5G failover. Then layer in optimised Teams configuration, properly governed SharePoint for drawings and project libraries, and modern endpoint protection so site teams can work from any project location with the same speed and security as head office.

Microsoft 365 holds your drawings, contracts, RAMS, supplier correspondence and internal IP, making it the highest-value target in your business. Default tenant settings are not secure or audit-ready: legacy authentication is often enabled, SharePoint is over-shared, guest access is uncontrolled and there is no third-party backup. A properly governed tenant with MFA, Conditional Access, retention, DLP and independent backup dramatically reduces the risk of email compromise, invoice fraud and data loss.

Our average response time is under 11 minutes, with a target of under 30 minutes across all support channels. 98% of issues are resolved on first contact by our UK-based engineers, and the majority are handled remotely without anyone needing to wait. Critical incidents, including suspected breaches, full site outages and major Microsoft 365 disruption, are escalated immediately under documented major-incident procedures.

The biggest risks we see in construction are phishing and CEO-impersonation, supplier and subcontractor invoice fraud, payment redirection, account takeover via reused passwords, and data loss through over-shared SharePoint and OneDrive. Mitigation is a layered programme: MFA, managed EDR, Conditional Access, advanced email defence, security awareness training, independent M365 backup and continuous tenant monitoring, all delivered as part of the ATS managed service.

Continuity in construction means more than a backup file. It means independent, immutable backup of Microsoft 365 and on-prem systems, rehearsed recovery scenarios, redundant site connectivity, secure mobile device management and a clear plan for what happens if head office or a site location is unavailable. ATS builds and tests this as part of the managed service so leadership can answer continuity questions from clients and PQQs with confidence.

Yes. We support construction businesses operating across head office, multiple active sites and fully mobile workforces, using Intune-managed devices, Conditional Access, secure remote access and resilient site connectivity. We engineer environments for consistent performance, security and auditability regardless of whether a user is in head office, in a portacabin or on the road.

Yes. ATS is based in Arundel and supports construction businesses across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and London on-site, with managed IT and cyber security delivered to firms throughout the UK using secure remote tooling. On-site engineering visits are scheduled where they add real value, for site office mobilisation, hardware rollouts or critical incidents.
