If your business runs on Microsoft, here's what you're probably missing

Your core systems aren't as protected as you think.

SharePoint, Teams and Outlook are all attack surfaces. Most Microsoft 365 setups have security features sitting switched off, half configured, or set up once and never revisited.

You're audit-scrambling,  not audit-ready.

Cyber Essentials and cyber insurance renewals shouldn't require a last-minute panic. But for most SMEs, they do.

AI is already in your business,  with no guardrails.

Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT: your people are already using them. Without governance, your data is at risk.

Continuous security

Not a one-time setup. We actively manage your environment, spot risks early and respond when something changes.

Audit-ready all year round

No more scrambling before a renewal. Controls maintained, evidence ready, insurers and auditors satisfied.

Safe AI adoption

Your team can use Microsoft Copilot and other AI tools without exposing your data.

Simpler IT, lower cost

Most clients find they can reduce IT spend simply by switching on the Microsoft security features they're already paying for.

Weeks 1-2

Understand & assess

We review your setup, your risks and your priorities, and show you where the gaps are.

Weeks 3-6

Set up & secure

We put the right controls, structure and protections in place across your Microsoft environment.

Ongoing

Manage & improve

We actively manage and monitor your environment, with quarterly reviews and a clear roadmap for what's next.

Built for businesses your size. Not enterprise complexity scaled down, and not a general IT provider stretching into security. Specialists for UK firms with 50 to 250 staff.

Security embedded as the default, so protection doesn't come at the cost of getting work done.

Actively managed, not set up and left. Continuous monitoring and proactive threat detection, without the management overhead landing on you.

Audit-ready evidence at your fingertips. Win contracts faster and renew insurance without the friction.

Real business challenges. Real results.
