Let's turn your worries about cyber security into confidence.
Cyber threats change year after year - are your security measures changing with them?
Ransomware attacks, for example, have surged in 2025, affecting an estimated 19,000 UK businesses (UK Government Survey).
Our cyber security consultancy for London businesses helps you move beyond the basics. While threats evolve, your defences stay one step ahead - mapped, maintained, and actively managed by someone who knows where to look.
Many businesses don’t realise where they’re exposed until it’s too late. We assess your current systems, processes, and user behaviour to uncover risks and close the gaps before attackers find them.
From endpoint protection to access controls, our cyber security team design and implement tailored security solutions that reflect the way your business operates - without overcomplicating your day-to-day.
With years of hands-on experience and up-to-date industry insight, we help you cut through the confusion. If you're a London business of 20+ staff, we've supported companies just like yours - replace guesswork with clear, expert guidance based on real-world knowledge.
Worried about hidden risks or compliance gaps? Our expert consultants will assess your setup, flag the threats, and guide you through exactly what to do next – no jargon, no pressure, just peace of mind.

Phishing - where attackers trick users into clicking unsafe links or sharing sensitive information - is the most disruptive threat for UK businesses in 2025, targeting gaps in staff knowledge. Our training helps your team recognise these scams and strengthen your first line of defence.

Not sure where to start with cyber security? We’re here to break things down, give honest answers, and guide you every step of the way.
Without proper cyber threat intelligence or security controls, your business is vulnerable to a range of cyber risks. These incidents can result in financial loss, regulatory fines, reputational damage, and significant downtime - not minutes or hours, but several days or even weeks.
Yes, every business should have a disaster recovery plan. A disaster recovery plan ensures you can respond quickly and effectively if something goes wrong, whether that’s a cyber attack, data breach, or system failure. Without a plan, even minor incidents can cause major disruption. With one, you stay in control, recover faster, and protect your reputation and bottom line.
In the UK, the main cyber security regulation is the Data Protection Act, and it applies to anyone handling personal data.
