Free Cyber Security for Scottish Businesses – How Riverbank Solar Is Protecting Local Companies!
Scottish businesses can now get free cyber security audits and protection from Riverbank Solar. Based in Glasgow and Edinburgh, we help local firms defend against digital threats.
Free Cyber Security for Scottish Businesses – Riverbank Solar Leads the Way
Cyber attacks are no longer a concern for just large corporations. In fact, small and medium-sized businesses in Scotland are increasingly becoming the prime targets of ransomware, phishing scams, and data breaches. These threats can cause significant financial losses and reputational damage, often crippling operations completely.
Riverbank Solar, a trusted Scottish IT provider with offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh, is now offering free cyber security services to help local businesses protect themselves—without the heavy price tag.
The Growing Cyber Threat to Scottish SMEs
According to the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 32% of small businesses experienced a cyber attack in the past 12 months. In Scotland, this number is growing as attackers shift their focus to easier, under-protected targets.
Hackers don’t discriminate based on industry or size. Whether you run a legal practice in Aberdeen, a manufacturing business in Fife, or an e-commerce site from Stirling, you are vulnerable if you don’t have basic protection in place.

What Riverbank Solar Is Offering for Free
Our mission is to make robust cyber protection accessible to every business in Scotland, no matter their size or budget. Here’s what we offer at no cost:
1. Free IT & Cyber Security Audit
We will assess your current systems for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposure to risk—then provide a plain-English report you can act on.
2. Free Cyber Essentials Readiness Support
Want to become Cyber Essentials certified? We’ll help you prepare at no cost, guiding you on password policies, firewall settings, access controls, and more.

Using lightweight remote monitoring, we’ll alert you to major red flags—such as suspicious logins, ransomware indicators, or outdated systems—before they become critical.
4. Free Human Risk Training Resources
Employees are often the weakest link in your cyber defence. We offer free awareness training to reduce accidental clicks on phishing emails or unsafe downloads.
