Businesses that hold customer data or process payments and can't afford downtime or a breach.

  • Security audits and risk assessment — a clear picture of where you're actually exposed, not a generic checklist
  • Endpoint protection and monitoring — every device watched, not just the office server
  • Backup and disaster recovery — a tested plan, so a breach is a bad day, not a permanent loss
  • Staff training and phishing awareness — because most breaches start with a person, not a firewall

Why “we're too small to be a target” is the risk, not the reassurance.

Small businesses are often targeted precisely because attackers expect less resistance — fewer defences, no dedicated security person, and a good chance staff haven't been trained to spot a convincing phishing email. Holding customer data or taking payments online is enough to make a business worth targeting, regardless of its size. Most incidents don't start with a sophisticated hack; they start with someone clicking a link that looked legitimate.

The work that actually reduces risk is unglamorous: knowing where your data lives, keeping endpoints monitored, having backups that are actually tested rather than assumed to work, and teaching staff what a phishing attempt looks like before they're the ones who click it. None of that needs to look like an enterprise security department — it needs to be sized to how a small team actually operates, so it gets used rather than ignored.

A simple, three-step process.

01
Risk assessment

We identify where you're exposed. 1–2 weeks

02
Implementation

We put protection and monitoring in place. 1–3 weeks

03
Ongoing monitoring

We watch for threats and report back regularly. Continuous

Sized for a small business, not a bank.

What shapes the cost:

Number of endpoints

Protecting five devices is a different scope from protecting fifty.

Data sensitivity

Handling customer payment or personal data calls for more rigorous controls than a brochure site.

Existing systems

What's already in place (or not) affects how much setup work is needed.

  • A written risk assessment report
  • Endpoint protection and monitoring set up and configured
  • A documented backup and disaster recovery plan
  • A staff training session on phishing and everyday risks

Cyber security FAQ.

Are small businesses really a target for cyber attacks?

Yes — often more so than large companies, because attackers know small businesses are less likely to have dedicated protection in place. Holding customer data or taking payments online is enough to make a business worth targeting.

What's the difference between antivirus and what you offer?

Antivirus is one layer. We set up endpoint protection and monitoring, backups and disaster recovery, and review your actual risk exposure — covering what happens before, during and after an incident, not just scanning for known malware.

Do you help with compliance, like GDPR?

We can help you put practical technical measures in place that support your compliance obligations, such as access controls, backups and breach-response planning. For formal legal compliance sign-off, we'd point you to a qualified advisor alongside our work.

What happens if we do have a breach?

Part of the setup is a documented disaster recovery and backup plan, so if something does happen, there's already an agreed process for containing it and restoring your systems, rather than figuring it out for the first time under pressure.

Do you train staff, or just set up software?

Both. Most breaches start with a person, not a system, so staff training and phishing awareness is part of the service alongside the technical setup.
