Four areas of work
Independent consulting for UK small and medium-sized businesses. We identify the practical issues, explain what matters, and help you fix them.
01
Cybersecurity
Practical security reviews and improvements for businesses without a dedicated security team.
Most small businesses do not need a security programme. They need the handful of controls that actually reduce risk, put in properly, and a clear view of what to do next. That is the work: find what matters, fix it in a sensible order, and leave you able to explain your position to an insurer or a customer.
What this covers
- SME cybersecurity reviews and practical security improvement
- Multi-factor authentication and identity security
- Device and endpoint security
- Backup and recovery
- Phishing and email security
- Cyber Essentials readiness support
- Incident preparedness
- Security policy and governance
Flagship service
Cybersecurity & AI Risk Assessment
A structured assessment of your cybersecurity and AI-related risks, with risk scoring, prioritised findings and practical recommendations.
A structured review of where your organisation stands across cyber security maturity, AI governance and Cyber Essentials readiness. You receive a risk score with a category breakdown, findings ranked by severity with the business impact of each explained, and practical remediation recommendations in the order they are worth doing. It requires no passwords, no software and no access to your systems.
What you receive
- Structured cybersecurity and AI risk assessment
- Risk scoring with a category breakdown
- Findings prioritised by severity and business impact
- Practical remediation recommendations
- AI governance review
- Cyber Essentials readiness indicators
- Professional PDF report
- Clear next-step priorities
This is a self-assessment based on the answers supplied. It is not a penetration test, technical audit, Cyber Essentials certification or guarantee of compliance.
03
Microsoft 365 & Cloud
Getting Microsoft 365 and cloud services configured, secured and manageable.
Microsoft 365 is where most SME data now lives, and most tenants have grown rather than been designed. The work here is tightening identity and access, making permissions understandable, and making sure the parts people assume are covered — like backup — actually are.
What this covers
- Microsoft 365 setup, optimisation and security
- Identity and access configuration
- Azure support and security hardening
- User lifecycle processes for joiners and leavers
- Cloud governance
- Backup strategy
- Permissions and access reviews
04
Automation & Monitoring
Removing repetitive administrative work and making problems visible before they escalate.
Small teams lose a surprising amount of time to work a script or a scheduled report could do. This is unglamorous, measurable improvement: automate the repetitive parts, put the numbers somewhere people can see them, and get alerted when something needs attention.
What this covers
- Repetitive workflow automation
- Reporting automation
- Operational dashboards
- Monitoring and alerting
- Technical workflow improvement
- Scripting and process optimisation
- Reducing manual administrative work
Not sure which of these you need?
The Cybersecurity & AI Risk Assessment is usually the sensible starting point. It establishes where the gaps are, so what follows is decided on evidence rather than guesswork.
