You don’t need enterprise-level security. You need the right protections for your actual risks, implemented properly, and maintained over time.
Most cyber attacks on small businesses succeed because of basic gaps: weak passwords, unpatched software, staff clicking on phishing emails. We help you close those gaps without overcomplicating things.
Practical security measures that match your risks and budget.
We look at your current setup, identify the gaps, and prioritise what needs fixing first. No scare tactics, just honest advice about your actual risks.
Firewalls, endpoint protection, email security, multi-factor authentication. We implement the tools you actually need and configure them properly.
Your people are your first line of defence. We train them to spot phishing, use strong passwords, and know what to do if something looks wrong.
Email is how most attacks start. We set up proper filtering, implement DMARC/SPF/DKIM, and help you spot the emails that slip through.
Who can access what? We help you set up proper permissions, password policies, and multi-factor authentication so the right people have the right access.
Security isn’t a one-off project. We help you keep things updated, monitor for threats, and adjust your defences as risks change.
These are the attacks hitting small businesses every day.
Fake emails pretending to be from Microsoft, your bank, or even a colleague. One click can compromise your whole network.
Your files get encrypted and criminals demand payment to unlock them. Often spreads across your entire network within minutes.
Attackers impersonate your CEO or supplier to trick staff into transferring money or sharing sensitive information.
Stolen passwords from data breaches, weak passwords that are easy to guess, or passwords reused across multiple services.
Malicious software that steals data, damages systems, or gives attackers a backdoor into your network.
Disgruntled employees, accidental data leaks, or staff who simply don’t know any better. Not all threats come from outside.
We look at what you have, what you’re protecting, and where the gaps are. Honest assessment, no scare tactics.
Not everything is equally important. We help you focus your budget on the risks that actually matter to your business.
We set up the technical controls, configure them properly, and make sure they actually work together.
Technology alone isn’t enough. We make sure your people know what to look for and what to do.
You don’t need to spend a fortune. Getting these fundamentals right stops the vast majority of attacks:

Straight answers about cyber security for small businesses.
It depends on your size and risks, but it’s less than you might think. A basic security assessment might be a few hundred pounds. Implementing proper protections could be £1,000-3,000 depending on what you need. Ongoing monitoring and management can be a monthly retainer. We’ll give you options that fit your budget.
Unfortunately not. Small businesses are actually targeted more because they often have weaker security but still have valuable data, bank accounts, and connections to larger organisations. Automated attacks don’t care how big you are. They scan the entire internet looking for vulnerabilities.
It depends. If you work with government or larger organisations, they may require it. Even if not, Cyber Essentials is a good baseline that covers the fundamentals. We can help you get certified if you need it, or just implement the same controls without the certification if you don’t.
Enable multi-factor authentication on everything, especially email and cloud services. It’s free or cheap, takes minimal effort, and stops the vast majority of account compromises. After that, make sure your backups work. Those two things alone dramatically reduce your risk.
Short, practical sessions work best. Real examples of phishing emails. Simulated attacks to test awareness. Making it relevant to their actual work. We don’t do death by PowerPoint. We show people what to look for and give them simple rules to follow.
Having a plan matters. We help you prepare incident response procedures so everyone knows what to do. If something does happen, we can help with containment, recovery, and working out what went wrong. The worst time to figure out your response plan is during an actual attack.
Let’s start with a conversation about your business and your concerns. We’ll help you understand your risks and what to do about them.
