Would you know where to start?

You do not need a room full of computers to have important information. The everyday accounts and files deserve a clear plan too.

01

Too many shared passwords

Staff share logins, old team members still have access or the same password is used everywhere. It is hard to know who can see what.

02

An email does not feel right

A payment request, unexpected attachment or sign-in message has you second-guessing. Your team needs a sensible way to pause and check.

03

You are not sure what is backed up

There may be a copy somewhere, but nobody knows if the right files are included or whether they could actually be restored.

Practical help, built around you

Make online safety easier to understand

We discuss your current setup and agree the work that suits it. Small, well-chosen improvements can be more useful than a long list of tools nobody understands.

Safer account sign-ins

Discuss adding a second sign-in check, such as an authenticator app, to important accounts where supported.

Passwords and access

Review how business passwords are handled and which people need access to email, files and other accounts.

Software updates

Look at updates for the devices and applications you rely on, and discuss older equipment that may need attention.

A useful backup plan

Agree which information needs copies, where those copies are kept, who manages them and how recovery is checked.

Suspicious email habits

Talk through practical ways to check unusual requests, especially changed bank details and unexpected sign-in prompts.

A clear recovery conversation

Consider what the business would need if a device failed or files became unavailable, and document sensible next steps.

Know what to expect

A backup is only useful if it covers the work you need

Important information can live on computers, in email and in online services. We help you ask the right questions about all of it, rather than assume that one folder or one product covers everything.

  • Identify the business files and accounts you would find hardest to lose access to.
  • Discuss how often copies are needed, how long they are kept and who is responsible for checking them.
  • Consider restoring a sample as part of an agreed check; a successful copy message alone does not explain the full recovery process.
  • Agree the improvements, products, ongoing responsibilities and costs before starting. No tool or service removes every risk.

Ask Your Question
Is our business too small to need this?

Even a small business may rely on valuable email accounts, customer information and files. Start by identifying what matters to you and choosing safeguards that suit your size and way of working.

Does using online file storage mean everything is backed up?

Not necessarily. It depends on the service, settings, included information and recovery options. We can discuss what is covered and where a separate backup plan may be needed.

Can you guarantee we will never be hacked?

No. Security improvements help manage risk, but no provider or product can remove it entirely. We explain the proposed measures and their limits in plain English.

What if I think an account is already compromised?

Say so clearly in your enquiry without including passwords, codes or private customer information. Do not treat the form as an immediate incident-response channel. If money is involved, contact your bank using its trusted contact details.
