Antivirus & Malware Protection
Install and configure trusted antivirus solutions to protect against viruses, spyware, ransomware and malicious software. We recommend and configure the right solution for your needs and budget.
Firewall Setup & Configuration
Professional firewall configuration for desktops, laptops and business networks — blocking unauthorised access while keeping your legitimate traffic flowing.
Patch Management
Keeping your software up to date is one of the most effective ways to stay secure. We manage Windows updates, software patches and firmware updates so vulnerabilities are closed quickly.
Security Audits
A thorough review of your current security posture — identifying weak passwords, outdated software, open ports, and other risks with actionable recommendations to fix them.
Ransomware Protection & Recovery
We set up layered defences against ransomware including secure backups, behaviour-based detection and network segmentation — and can help with recovery if the worst happens.
Secure Remote Working
Ensure your remote workers are connecting securely with VPN setup, multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure device configuration.

- Viruses & trojans — malicious programs that damage or steal data

Frequently Asked Questions
What cyber security services do you offer?
We provide antivirus setup, firewall configuration, patch management, email security, security audits and ransomware protection for homes and small businesses — all configured remotely.
How can I protect my business from ransomware?
We implement layered protection including automated backups, endpoint security, email filtering, multi-factor authentication and user awareness — tailored to your business size and risk.
Do you provide cyber security for home users?
Yes. We help home users with antivirus setup, secure Wi-Fi configuration, password management guidance and protection against phishing and scam emails.
What is a cyber security audit?
A cyber security audit reviews your current setup — software versions, password policies, open access points, antivirus status and backup practices — and produces a clear report with prioritised recommendations.
Do I need antivirus if I have Windows 11?
Windows 11 includes Microsoft Defender which provides good baseline protection. For businesses handling sensitive data, additional endpoint security and managed monitoring adds an important extra layer.
How do I know if my computer has been hacked?
Signs include unusual account activity, programs you didn't install, antivirus being disabled, browser settings changing unexpectedly, or being locked out of accounts. Contact us immediately if you suspect a breach.
What is multi-factor authentication and do I need it?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires a second step — like approving a notification on your phone — to log into accounts. It's the single most effective protection against stolen passwords and we recommend it for all business accounts.
How much does a security audit cost?
Security audits are charged at our standard business rate of £75/hr. Most small business audits take 2-3 hours. Contact us for a specific quote based on your setup.
