The Problem

It’s not the attack you fear. It’s what comes after.

You’ve built a real business — clients, staff, reputation. But if something went wrong tonight, you don’t have a plan, you don’t have a person to call, and you don’t know what your legal obligations are. That’s what we fix.

📋
No plan if something goes wrong
If it happened tonight — who would you call? Most owners can’t answer that.
👥
Staff making a costly mistake
68% of breaches start with one untrained employee clicking one link.
🔒
Ransomware locking everything
Average downtime: 21 days. Most small businesses can’t survive that.
⚖️
Regulatory exposure you didn’t expect
72 hours to notify the ICO. Most SMBs don’t know what that involves.

🏥
Private Healthcare
Critical Risk
Patient records are worth 50x more than credit cards on the dark web. ICO and CQC dual regulatory exposure.
