Security Cyber security for UK businesses

Cyber security that keeps your business trading

Cyber Essentials readiness, security assessments and hardened builds for UK small and mid-sized businesses. Clear fixes in plain English, not a 90-page report nobody reads.

Why it matters now

Customers, insurers and tenders now ask about your security

A phishing email, a reused password or an unpatched laptop is all it takes to stop a small business for days. We close those gaps first, in order of risk, and help you prove it to the people who ask.

  • Cyber Essentials ready: we prepare you, then guide you through certification with an accredited body
  • Find it before attackers do: practical assessments of your systems and your code
  • Know what to do on a bad day: backups and an incident plan your team can follow

The problem

Small businesses are easy targets

Attackers don’t pick on size. They pick on the easiest door, and these are the ones we see left open.

Phishing gets someone to click

One convincing email to one tired person is how most incidents start.

Weak or reused passwords

Shared logins, no multi-factor sign-in and old staff accounts that never got closed.

Updates left for later

Out-of-date laptops, servers and plugins give attackers a known way in.

Backups nobody has tested

Backups exist, but no one has ever tried to restore from them.

FAQ

Cyber security, common questions

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme that sets out five basic security controls: secure settings, firewalls, user access, malware protection and software updates.

We help you meet the controls, then guide you through the assessment with an accredited certification body.
