Cybersecurity for public bodies
We make sure your website, self-service tools and administration environment are protected against disruption, unauthorised access and data leaks. We put in place clear security measures and an incident management procedure, and align everything with GDPR, accessibility and public-sector requirements.
When digital channels stall or become vulnerable, it is not only the technology that suffers. Residents’ trust suffers too. That is why we plan cyber security so that the organisation can safely publish information, receive enquiries, manage content and respond to incidents without extra burden on a team that already has plenty of work.
The organisation protects its website and data from cyber threats, and staff learn to recognise attacks and work safely online.
“Tobalt” is a reliable company that meets its commitments on time and honestly. We have worked together for 5 years and have renewed our website again with their help.
Most common problems
It is not clear where the real risks lie
Organisations often work with several connected systems, and weak points go unnoticed until the first incident. Unreviewed administrator access, outdated integrations or messy user permissions become an easy target.
When the website or self-service breaks down, service delivery stops
Residents expect information and electronic services to be available at any time. If a system stalls, comes under attack or becomes unavailable, the organisation has to explain the disruption, restore operations and deal with extra work.
Staff mistakes still remain one of the most common risks
Even with technical safeguards in place, incidents often start with a phishing e-mail, wrongly granted access or careless handling of data. Without clear rules and practical preparation, the risk remains an everyday one.
Security requirements must be justified and managed
For public-sector organisations it is important not only to put measures in place but also to be able to show how risk is managed, how data is protected, who is responsible for incidents and how this fits with procurement, internal rules and legal requirements.
What we do
Website protection against malicious traffic and hacking attempts
We put in place protection measures that help filter suspicious traffic and limit attempts to abuse forms, logins or publicly accessible pages. This helps protect both the information website and the digital services for residents.
Benefit: You will be able to provide services with more peace of mind and reduce the risk of disruption.
Secure data transfer and access control
We make sure data is transferred over a secure connection and administration environments are accessible only according to clearly defined permissions. We review the login procedure, access levels and protection of sensitive actions.
Benefit: You will be able to control more clearly who sees sensitive information and who logs in to it.
Backup and recovery plan
We set up a backup and recovery solution so that, after a technical fault, a mistake or a security incident, you can restore your most important content and functions. It covers not only the backups themselves but also a clear recovery procedure.
Benefit: You will be able to restore operations faster and reduce service downtime.
Vulnerability monitoring and security reviews
We regularly check whether new vulnerabilities, misconfigurations or outdated components have appeared in your website, integrations and admin environment. Risks are explained in plain terms, with clear priorities.
Benefit: You will be able to remove risks in time, before they turn into incidents.
Staff readiness and incident management procedure
We help you draw up practical rules for staff: how to recognise phishing e-mails, how to handle logins safely, what to do if something looks suspicious and whom to report it to. If needed, we tailor the training to different roles within your organisation.
Benefit: You will be able to recognise threats faster and respond to incidents more clearly.

Frequently asked questions
Can you work with our existing website and third-party systems?
Yes. First we assess which systems are already in use, which integrations are running, who administers the infrastructure and where the responsibilities of different suppliers end. Then we propose measures that can be applied without interrupting your operations, or with changes planned in stages.
What will we get for the procurement and internal approval if we decide to buy the service?
We can help you define a clear service scope: which systems are included, which security measures are put in place, what the response, monitoring and recovery requirements are, and how responsibility is shared. This makes it easier to prepare for a public tender and helps you compare suppliers’ bids more accurately.
How does this service relate to GDPR and incident management?
Cybersecurity and GDPR are closely linked, because security measures help protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss or disclosure. We assess where data is processed, what access has been granted, how incidents are logged and what steps need to be taken if a breach occurs.
Can you make sure that security measures will not get in the way of website accessibility and content management?
Yes, we plan security solutions so that they do not become an obstacle either for visitors or for your team. We assess the impact on WCAG 2.1 AA requirements, how forms work, editors’ work and everyday content updates, so that protection fits with real use.
