Security that's practical, layered, and honest about the threats that actually matter.
We focus on the controls that prevent the breaches we keep seeing in the wild — not whatever scary headline is trending this week.
A pragmatic, layered approach — built around how SMEs actually get breached.
Endpoint protection
Next generation EDR on every device, centrally managed and monitored.
Email security
Antiphishing, impersonation protection and safe link rewriting on Microsoft 365.
Identity & MFA
Conditional access, MFA enforcement and identity hygiene as standard.
Backups & recovery
Tested three copies, two media, one offsite backups for Microsoft 365 and on prem systems with documented restore times.
Threat monitoring
Alerts triaged by humans, not just dashboards. We respond, we don't just notify.
User awareness
Short, friendly training and simulated phishing — without making your team feel stupid.
What actually happens during an incident
Contain
Isolate affected accounts or devices to stop the issue spreading further.
Assess
Work out what happened, what was affected, and what data or systems are at risk.
Recover
Restore from clean backups or rebuild affected systems, prioritising what the business needs first.
Review
A plain-English debrief on what happened and what changes will reduce the chance of it recurring.
Risk prioritisation for SMEs, not a tick-box audit
Most smaller businesses don't need every control on day one. We look at what's realistically going to cause damage, a compromised email account, a lost laptop, an unpatched server, and prioritise the controls that address those first, before moving on to the rest.
Cyber Essentials, NCSC guidance and the basics done properly.
We help SMEs reach and maintain Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, using the same controls we'd recommend regardless of certification. Good security is just good IT, consistently applied.

No fearmongering pledge
We won't sell you fear. We'll show you what the actual risk is to your business, explain the tradeoffs clearly, and recommend the smallest set of controls that meaningfully reduces it.
How much does this actually cost?
Managed support is normally structured as a predictable monthly partnership rather than an hourly meter. Pricing scales with the number of people you have and how complex your environment is.
- Scope is affected by your security requirements, locations, devices, support needs and any project work.
- We explain what is and is not included before you agree to anything.
- Support should never make someone hesitate to ask for help because they are worried about an hourly bill.
Frequently asked questions
Well configured controls are almost invisible to users. The friction comes from badly deployed tooling, which is what we exist to avoid.
