The controls that stop most attacks, managed for you.
Phishing emails, ransomware and stolen passwords are aimed at businesses like yours every day. Good security doesn’t have to be complicated - we focus on what matters most and put it in place without getting in your team’s way.
MFA & identity
Multi-factor authentication, password security and Microsoft 365 hardening - the single biggest win.
Endpoint protection
Bitdefender on every device, monitored by our team, with patching for Windows and third-party apps.
Email & phishing protection
Email filtering that stops scams and malware before they reach your inbox.
Backup & recovery
Backups that are monitored and actually tested, so ransomware can’t take your business down.
Firewalls & remote access
Secure firewalls and remote access for your office and people working from home.
Staff awareness
Helping your team spot a scam before they click, with security policies written in plain English.
Small businesses are the easy target.
Attackers know smaller firms often have fewer defences. One successful attack can mean days of downtime, lost data and awkward conversations with customers.
Cyber Essentials controls
Firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patching - the baseline we build on.

Covering Kent & South East London
No. Most attacks are automated and aimed at anyone with an email address. Small businesses are often hit precisely because they’re seen as easier targets.
Turn on multi-factor authentication for email and every cloud service. It blocks the large majority of account takeover attempts.
It’s required for many government and larger-client contracts, and some insurers ask for it. Even if you don’t need the certificate, the five controls are a great baseline.
Anti-virus management, backup management and Microsoft 365 management are included in every IT support plan. Wider security work is quoted after a free review.
