Onyx IT, a trusted IT support and cyber security specialist within the Clipeum IT Group, is honoured to announce its new partnership with ATB Group, a respected UK defence contractor known for delivering precision-engineered solutions across defence and national security markets.
Defence-Ready Cyber Resilience: Tailored for Critical Operations
In the defence sector, operational continuity demands not only robust protection, but rapid recovery under adversity. ATB selected Onyx for our proven track record in engineered IT support, proactive monitoring, and industry-specific compliance—all designed to fortify cyber resilience in high-stakes environments.
Drawing on over 30 years providing IT and cyber services across East Anglia and beyond—particularly within highly regulated industries, Onyx brings an expert, mission-critical mindset to this partnership.
What Onyx Delivers for ATB Group
- Continuous Cyber Assurance: Including threat detection, vulnerability scanning, Cyber Essentials certification, and staff training programmes to guard against disruption and data loss.
- Resilient Infrastructure and Rapid Recovery: Ensuring systems remain operational—and swiftly recoverable, even under cyber incident conditions.
- Dedicated vCIO & Strategic Planning: Expert guidance in aligning ATB’s IT roadmap with emerging defence protocols and compliance frameworks.
- High-Availability Support: 24×7 monitoring, helpdesk support, and incident response tailored for mission-critical service environments.
Why ATB Chose Onyx
ATB required a partner that understands the defence sector’s uncompromising standards, the risk profile, regulatory environment, and the absolute necessity of uptime. Onyx stood out, not only for deep technical capability, but for a culture rooted in long‑term partnership, proactive risk planning, and cybersecurity-first thinking. Our ADS Group membership further highlights our alignment with aerospace, defence, and security values (ADS Group).
Scalable Collaboration for Strategic Growth
Whether supporting design engineers, onsite staff, or remote teams, Onyx’s scalable IT support model ensures that ATB’s five divisions (engineering, training, manufacturing, logistics, and consultancy) all receive bespoke, resilient IT service. As ATB expands its footprint across UK defence projects, Onyx’s model ensures their IT infrastructure grows with them.
“At Clipeum, we’re committed to delivering enterprise‑grade cyber resilience alongside personalised client service,” said John Dale. “Our work with ATB showcases how Onyx aligns with defence standards to protect critical missions and support ambitious growth.” – John Dale, MD Clipeum Group of Companies
