We look after computers for Business Owners!
OK, so that might sound like a bit of a weird statement to put on our page. We look after computers for Business Owners – because you don’t want to! However, you can find out more about why we’re starting to roll out this phrase by reading one of our recent blogposts here What does your business do? In the meantime, what does it mean? Well it means that we take care of your IT Systems within your business. We only bother you with the things you need to know about. Other than that, we’ll deal with it for you. If you have someone in house that we can communicate with rather than you, the business owner, then great, we’ll do just that. We mostly work with businesses from 25 – 50 staff – it’s our bread and butter.
Although we do have customers smaller and larger than that. We work with different people across those organisations. Some businesses nominate an IT contact, some businesses expect their Finance Director (FD) to be responsible for communicating with us. Others want their Operations Director or Manager to deal with it. Either way, we’ll take the hassle away from you and Look after the computers (and all of the associated computers, software and other things) for your business and make it as light-touch as possible for you IF that’s what you want.

When most people think about cybercrime, they picture hackers breaking through firewalls, writing malicious code or exploiting software vulnerabilities.

Cyber-attacks often bring to mind sophisticated malware, nation-state actors and highly technical exploits. However, one of the most significant UK cyber incidents of recent months appears to have started in a much simpler way: by targeting people rather than technology.
The recent cyber-attack on the Department for Education (DfE) serves as a stark reminder that even organisations with significant security resources can fall victim to attacks that exploit human trust and established processes, rather than software vulnerabilities.
What Happened?
In late July 2026, the Department for Education confirmed that a cyber incident had resulted in the theft of approximately 607,000 records
The verdict: most UK businesses should start with basic Cyber Essentials, then move to Cyber Essentials Plus within three months if they handle sensitive data or regularly bid for higher-value contracts.
Basic Cyber Essentials suits SMEs wanting a fast, affordable security baseline. Cyber Essentials Plus is designed for organisations that require independent verification for tenders, insurers, regulators, or customers.
The biggest deciding factor is assurance. Basic Cyber Essentials relies on self-assessment, whereas Cyber Essentials Plus includes hands-on technical testing by an independent assessor. That distinction influences cost, timescales, and buyer confidence.
This guide compares both certification levels and helps you determine which option […]
