Why small businesses are targeted

Most cyber attacks aren’t aimed at big enterprises. They target small businesses because defences are often inconsistent, outdated, or unmanaged.

Phishing & email attacks

Attackers trick staff into clicking links, entering passwords, or paying fake invoices — often using convincing emails that look legitimate.

Ransomware & data loss

A single infected device can encrypt files across the business, bringing work to a halt and putting client data at risk.

Weak access controls

Shared passwords, missing MFA and old accounts make it easier for the wrong people to get in.

Cyber Essentials: Prove Your Commitment to Cybersecurity

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification designed to help UK businesses of all sizes build a strong defense against common cyber threats.

Getting Cyber Essentials certified is a straightforward yet highly valuable process. By completing an annual self-assessment, your business can demonstrate its commitment to cybersecurity—reassuring suppliers, partners, and customers that you take data protection seriously.

For an added layer of assurance, Cyber Essentials Plus includes an independent technical audit of your IT systems. This hands-on assessment verifies that your security measures are actively protecting your business against real-world threats.

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification not only reduces cyber risks but also enhances your reputation and credibility in today’s digital landscape.

Layers of protection we put in place

Endpoint protection

Next-gen antivirus / EDR on laptops and desktops, monitored and kept up to date.

Email & phishing security

Filtering, impersonation protection and simple guidance to help users spot dodgy messages.

Access & data controls

Smart policies for sign-ins, device encryption and data sharing so the wrong people can’t get in.

Patch & update management

Operating systems and key applications are kept up to date to close common security holes attackers rely on.

How we approach cybersecurity

1. Understand your risk

We look at how you work, what data you hold and what would hurt most if something went wrong.

2. Fix the basics first

We focus on updates, backups, MFA and sensible policies before suggesting anything more advanced.

3. Add layers where needed

For higher-risk roles or industries, we can add extra monitoring, logging or controls.

4. Keep people in the loop

Short, human-friendly updates so your team know what to expect and why changes are happening.

What this means for your team

Fewer scary emails landing in inboxes
Clear prompts when something really is risky
Lost devices can be locked or wiped quickly
Issues are investigated and handled for you
No pressure to “figure security out yourself”

When cybersecurity support really helps

You’ve had a close call

Someone clicked a link, entered a password, or nearly paid the wrong invoice — and you don’t want it to happen again.

Clients are asking questions

You’re being asked about security, controls or standards and want confident answers without overengineering things.

You’re growing or hiring

More users, more devices and more data increases risk unless security is actively managed.
