One letter. One hyphen. One different domain extension.

That's all it takes to build a fake version of your website, or a convincing fraudulent invoice email.

Here's how lookalike domains work, and the habit that stops them 👇

A voice that sounds exactly like your MD, asking for an urgent payment. Except it's AI-generated 🎙️

Deepfake voice scams are getting harder to spot - and easier to pull off.

Here's how they work, and how to protect your business 👇

Your defences can be perfect and you can still get breached - through a supplier 😬

Attackers are targeting the vendors with access to your systems, not just you.

Here's what supply chain attacks look like for SMEs, and how to close the gap 👇

Password reuse is one of the most common security gaps in small businesses - and one of the easiest to close 🔐

A password manager fixes it properly. Strong, unique passwords everywhere, with nothing to remember.

Small change, big difference 👇

That server in the cupboard? It's a single point of failure waiting to happen 🖥️

Cloud servers mean built-in resilience, easier scaling, and no waiting on replacement parts.

Strong password? ✅ MFA on? ✅

There's still an attack that needs neither. Session hijacking steals the token that keeps you logged in - and walks straight past both.

Here's how it works, and how to defend against it 👇

Asked if you're Cyber Essentials certified and didn't know what to say? 🛡️

It's a UK govt-backed scheme proving you've got the basics covered against common attacks. And it's increasingly what contracts and clients expect.

We can help you get there 👇

Phishing was the way in for over HALF of cyber incidents last quarter - up from a third. 📈

And it's getting sneakier: QR codes hidden in PDFs to dodge filters, fake login pages hosted on Microsoft 365 itself.

Solid read from Infosecurity Magazine 👇

When someone leaves your business, do you actually cut off ALL their access? Email, cloud apps, remote logins, shared drives?

An open account nobody's watching is a gift to an attacker. Here's a practical IT offboarding checklist 👇

When your IT breaks, who fixes it? If it's "whoever's free", that's not a plan. 🎲

Managed IT support gives you a whole team keeping things running - your own IT department, minus the in-house salary. 💻

Less downtime, fewer headaches 👇

Sorted antivirus and MFA? Good. But if your guest Wi-Fi shares a network with your business systems, one dodgy visitor device can reach the lot. 📡

Here's why your office Wi-Fi might be your biggest blind spot - and how to fix it 👇

A single compromised credential exposed Salesforce data at hundreds of companies - including major cybersecurity firms like Huntress, Snyk & HackerOne. 🔐 If it can happen to them, it can happen to any business.

We're really proud to share this review from the team at The Loughborough. 🙏

Thank you to The Loughborough for the kind words - and for being such a great client to work with. 💡

That little "update available" notification you keep dismissing? It's patching security holes, not just adding features.

Some of those gaps are already being exploited by the time the patch lands. A few minutes, scheduled outside busy hours, is all it takes. 💻

If your team are using Claude or ChatGPT to speed up their day, do you actually know which accounts they're on, what's being shared, or whether there's a policy covering any of it?

Most UK SMEs don't. We've broken it down 👇

Annoyed by that "approve this login" prompt? 🙄

It's doing more for your security than a strong password alone ever could.

Quick, plain-English breakdown of MFA - what it is, how it works, why it's worth the ten seconds 👇

Ever had an email from a "trusted" company that felt slightly off? 🤔

Scammers register lookalike domains - a swapped letter, extra hyphen, or different ending (.co vs .com). Easy to miss at a glance.

Quick habits: hover before you click, check the full sender address 🔍

"I have worked with them for several years across multiple companies and they have never let me down." ⭐

Thanks Grady - we're proud to be a partner you can count on!

43% of UK businesses hit by a cyber incident last year. Same as the year before.

Phishing the #1 cause. Small businesses cutting back on risk assessments. Supply chains barely checked.

The problem isn't getting better - is your business doing enough? 👇
