Cyber Essentials, sorted
We guide you through certification end to end. Most clients hit Cyber Essentials in 2 to 4 weeks. Unlocks the contracts and tenders you cannot bid for without it.
Threats caught early

Backups that actually restore

Free email check
Could someone send email pretending to be you?

Cyber security FAQs
What people want to know.
We're small, are we really a target?
Yes, and that's the truth. Most attacks aren't personal. They're automated bots probing whoever leaves a door open. Small businesses are easier targets because the defences are usually thinner.
How long does Cyber Essentials take?
2 to 4 weeks for most small businesses. Depends how tidy your setup is when we start. We have a fast-track if you have an insurer or customer deadline.
We already have antivirus. Isn't that enough?
Antivirus alone hasn't been enough for years. Modern attacks slip past it. You want EDR, MFA, backup, and proper email filtering layered on top. We sort all of those.
What happens if we get hit?
You phone us. We isolate, contain, and restore. Backups are tested monthly so they actually work when you need them. Most incidents we see get caught early by the monitoring before they become a business-stopping problem.
Do you do penetration testing?
We can arrange it through trusted partners, yes. Honestly, most small businesses need the basics nailed first: MFA, patching, backup, training. We will tell you straight if pen testing is the right next move or if it would be wasted money for where you are.
