🔒 Cyber Security

Practical security for businesses that can't afford a breach.

Enterprise-grade cyber security knowledge, delivered as ad-hoc consultancy. Whether you need to onboard devices to Defender, set up a SOC, or just get a straight answer about your security posture — we can help.

⚠️

Most SMEs are more exposed than they realise — and attackers know it.

Cyber criminals increasingly target small and medium businesses precisely because they lack the in-house expertise of larger organisations. You don't need a full-time security team — but you do need someone who knows what they're doing. Our founder spent years delivering cyber security across critical national infrastructure and enterprise environments. That same knowledge is now available to your business, on demand, at a price that makes sense.

Practical cyber security, when and where you need it

No retainers. No jargon. Just expert guidance and hands-on help with the security challenges your business actually faces.

Security that fits your business — not the other way around.

Most SMEs don't need a six-figure security programme. They need someone who can identify the real risks, fix the obvious gaps, and give them a clear path forward — without the enterprise price tag.

We've worked in some of the most security-sensitive environments in the UK. We know what good looks like, and we know how to translate that into practical steps for a small or growing business.

🎯

Risk-Led, Not Checkbox-Driven

We focus on what actually puts your business at risk, not ticking compliance boxes for the sake of it.

🗣️

Plain English, Always

No acronym soup. We explain what's happening, why it matters, and what to do about it in language that makes sense.

No Unnecessary Retainers

We work on an ad-hoc basis. You pay for what you need, when you need it — not a standing monthly fee for services you rarely use.

🏗️

Built on Enterprise Experience

Our founder's background spans critical national infrastructure and enterprise cyber security consulting — that expertise is now available to your SME.

We work primarily in the Microsoft ecosystem

Microsoft 365 includes powerful, enterprise-grade security tools that most SMEs aren't using. We help you get the most out of what you already pay for.

Questions you're probably asking

Yes — and the statistics back this up. Small businesses are increasingly targeted precisely because attackers know they often have weak defences. You don't need to become Fort Knox overnight, but having the basics right — MFA, endpoint protection, clear policies — makes a significant difference. We can help you understand where you actually stand and what to prioritise.
Having Microsoft 365 is a great start — it includes powerful security tools. But most organisations only use a fraction of what's available, and out-of-the-box settings are rarely optimal for security. We can review your M365 configuration and help you get far more out of what you're already paying for.
It starts with a conversation about where you are and what you need. From there it could be as simple as a one-off session to answer specific questions, or a short project to implement something like Defender onboarding or an MFA rollout. We scope everything upfront so there are no surprises.
Primarily ad-hoc, which keeps things flexible and cost-effective for most SMEs. If you need more regular support — for example ongoing monitoring, monthly check-ins, or a managed SOC arrangement — get in touch and we can discuss what that might look like.
It depends on the scope of work. A short advisory call or quick assessment is very different from a multi-week Defender deployment. We always provide a clear, fixed quote upfront. Get in touch and we'll give you an honest picture of what's involved.

Don't wait for a breach to take security seriously.
