Cyber security small businesses can actually afford.
Nearly half of UK small businesses (46%) identified a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months (UK Government Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/26) - and attackers know most have no layered defences. Our managed plans build security in from day one: from Microsoft Defender antivirus on every device to 24/7 threat detection and response on the Secure+ plan - with Cyber Essentials certification available as a standalone service.
The audit shows exactly which of the 76 checks you'd fail today - free, no obligation.
The threats we see hit small businesses every month
Invoice fraud & CEO impersonation
A spoofed email asks finance to change bank details. Advanced email security plus payment-process rules stops it before it lands.
Ransomware via unpatched devices
One out-of-date laptop is enough. Automated patching and endpoint protection shut the door - and on Complete and Secure+, your Microsoft 365 email and files are backed up separately so they can be restored.
Stolen passwords from other sites
Staff reuse passwords; breaches leak them. Dark web monitoring plus enforced MFA makes a leaked password useless.
Ex-employees with live access
Leavers keep access for months in most unmanaged businesses. Our joiner-mover-leaver process locks accounts the same day.
Lost & stolen devices
Every managed device is encrypted and remotely wipeable through Intune — a lost laptop becomes a shrug, not a breach.
Failing a client's security questionnaire
Bigger clients now demand Cyber Essentials. We prepare you for certification and keep you audit-ready year after year.
Common questions
Do we really need this? We're too small to be a target.+
Small businesses are the primary target precisely because defences are weak and attacks are automated. Attackers don't pick you — their software finds you. Layered basics (MFA, patching, email filtering, backups) stop the vast majority of it.
What is Cyber Essentials and do we need it?+
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed security certification. It's increasingly mandatory for public-sector and enterprise supply chains, and cuts insurance premiums. We offer Cyber Essentials certification as a standalone service on any plan — we get your environment ready to pass, and Secure+ keeps you aligned year-round.
Is security extra, or included in managed IT support?+
Included, layered by plan: Essentials has the fundamentals (Microsoft Defender antivirus, patching, spam filtering and safe sign-in rules); Complete adds advanced email security, Microsoft 365 backup and staff training; Secure+ adds 24/7 MDR, dark web monitoring, vulnerability scanning and advanced sign-in protection.
What happens if we do get attacked?+
On Secure+, 24/7 detection and response isolates threats automatically, day or night. On every plan, we lead the response during support hours - contain, investigate, restore and report - and Complete and Secure+ include Microsoft 365 backup to recover email and files. Larger recovery work is quoted before we start.
