Overview

Security without the scaremongering

You don’t need enterprise-grade security theatre. You need the right basics done properly, an understanding of where you’re genuinely exposed, and a plan that fits the size and nature of your business. That’s what we provide.

We work with sole traders, small teams and growing SMEs who want to be secure without spending a fortune or drowning in jargon. Twenty-five years of hands-on experience means we know what matters and what doesn’t.

Assessment

Know where you actually stand

Most small businesses don’t know their weak points until something goes wrong. A straightforward assessment gives you a clear picture: what’s exposed, what’s adequately protected, and what to address first. No alarmism, no inflated findings.

Implementation

Getting the right protections in place

Knowing what to fix is only half the job. We implement the controls that matter most — MFA, proper backups, endpoint protection, email filtering — and make sure they’re configured correctly, not just switched on.

Multi-factor authentication across email, accounts and remote access
Endpoint protection and patch management

Backup & recovery

If something does go wrong, you can recover

Backups are the single most important protection against ransomware and data loss. Many businesses think they have backups until they need them. We check yours actually work, run on a sensible schedule, and include everything that matters.

Common questions

IT Security Consultancy FAQs

Yes. Small businesses are frequently targeted precisely because defences tend to be weaker. Ransomware, phishing and credential theft are common — and the basics, done properly, stop the vast majority.

Not every business does, but it’s worth considering if you handle sensitive data, work with public-sector clients, or want a recognised standard. We can help you work towards it or advise whether it fits.

Usually a combination of weak or reused passwords, no multi-factor authentication, and backups that haven’t been tested — also some of the easiest things to fix.

Get in touch as soon as possible. We can assess what access may have been compromised, help secure affected accounts, and advise on what to report. Speed matters.

It depends on the size and complexity of your setup. Call 01746 325326 and we’ll give you a clear idea before any commitment.
