Security update: Your website is being protected

On 21 October, critical security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, the technology behind WordPress and many other websites, required urgent action across the hosting industry.

Castlegate IT worked closely with our hosting providers to prepare for the necessary security updates. Importantly, our hosting partners and Cloudflare implemented additional firewall protections before the security patches were released, helping to protect websites against attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The necessary patches have now been applied across our main managed hosting environments. A small number of legacy environments remain protected by additional firewall measures while their updates are completed.

No action is required from our clients. We continue to monitor the situation and manage the necessary security measures on their behalf.

Benson Grays Associates

Benson Grays Associates are a York based mortgage brokerage. They work with a range of clients providing mortgage advice to help clients find the right mortgage for them.

We were commisioned to produce a new identity and website. A key consideration during the design process was that the work we produced provided reassurance that Benson Grays Associates are a professional but approachable organisation.

A clean serif typeface was selected as the main font in the identity to communicate respectability and reliability, but used in lowercase so as not to appear overly intimidating. It was paired with a complimentary sans serif typeface to give the identity a modern feel. A light blue/grey was used as the primary colour to reiterate the core values of strength, responsibility, and reliability.

A simple one page website was created to fully communicate their offering and engage with a range of different potential clients and prompt user engagement.
