Protect
46% of UK small businesses were hit by an attack last year

Security that's built in, not bolted on.

Cybersecurity, backup, identity and compliance — so a phishing email or a lost laptop doesn't turn into a costly crisis.

What's included

Four ways we help you stay protected.

Cybersecurity

Endpoint protection, email filtering and threat monitoring set up to stop the everyday attacks that actually hit growing businesses.

Backup & disaster recovery

Automated backups for your files, email and systems — tested regularly, so recovery isn't a surprise on the day you need it.

Identity & access

Multi-factor authentication, access controls and password policies that fit how your team actually works.

Compliance

Practical support toward frameworks like Cyber Essentials and GDPR — explained plainly, without the jargon.

The numbers

What's actually happening to businesses like yours.

The headlines focus on ransomware. The everyday reality, according to the UK government's own research, looks a bit different — and it's exactly what Protect is built around.

69%

of the breaches businesses experienced were phishing attacks — the single most disruptive kind1

1%

reported a ransomware attack last year, down from 3% — the everyday risk is phishing and human error, not headline-grabbing hacks1

75%

of UK businesses have no formal plan for what to do when something goes wrong1

Sound familiar?

Signs you might need Protect.

  • Nobody could tell you with confidence whether your backups actually work.
  • Multi-factor authentication isn't switched on everywhere it should be.
  • A past employee might still technically have access to something.
  • You've never had a proper look at where your business is actually exposed.
  • A client or insurer has started asking about your security setup and you don't have a confident answer.
  • You'd have no idea what to do in the first hour after a security incident.

60-second security quick check

Five honest yes/no questions — a quick gut-check, not a full audit.

1. Does everyone use multi-factor authentication (MFA) on email and key accounts?

2. Are your backups tested, not just running in the background?

3. Would you know within a day if an account had been compromised?

4. Do leavers have their access removed immediately, not "at some point"?

5. Is there a written plan for what to do if something goes wrong?

Protect FAQs

Yes, very often more so — most attacks are automated and untargeted, and small and mid-sized businesses tend to have fewer defences in place than large enterprises.

It's a UK government-backed certification showing you meet a baseline of security practices. Some clients and insurers ask for it — we can guide you through what's involved.

Having a response plan in place before an incident is most of the work — we help you build one, and support you through it if it's ever needed.

We help with the technical side — access controls, backups, data handling practices. For legal advice on GDPR obligations specifically, we'd point you to a qualified advisor.

No — we're not an insurer, but we can help you meet the security requirements insurers typically ask for, and point you toward brokers if you need cover.

Backup is having a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is having a tested plan to actually get back up and running from it. We set up both, not just the copy.
