Next year we’ll say a final farewell to Windows 10 as it reaches end of life.
Microsoft is stopping support. This means no new tools or features, and no more security updates.
If you’re still using Windows 10 in your business, now’s the time to act so you avoid any last-minute panic… or putting your data at unnecessary risk.
In our latest guide we explain the options your business has, as well as what you need to consider for each one.
Here’s a shocking fact: 90% of cyber attacks start with a simple email.
And guess who uses email every single day? EVERYONE… including you and all your team.
Which means every time you open an inbox your business is at risk. So, 20 or 30 times a day, right?
But there are smart things you can do to tighten up your email security and avoid becoming a cyber criminal’s next victim. We discuss them in our latest video.
Did you know it can just take one email to bring your entire business to its knees?
Why?
Because a surprising 90% of cyber attacks begin with an email. And if you and your whole team are reliant on email every day, your chances of falling for a scam increase.
Fortunately, there are lots of smart things you can do to reinforce your email security and keep your business and its data safe.
In our latest guide we tell you what these things are and how you can implement them to stay safe.
Your business couldn’t function without its technology, right?
And from time to time, things go wrong.
If these are the only times you speak to your IT support provider, it’s very likely you’re wasting a lot of time and money. Plus creating yourself a ton of stress.
What happens when your business suffers an IT issue?
Whether it’s suspected malware, a data breach, or a computer that refuses to connect to anything, chances are it’s going to cause you and your team downtime.
And if you only have a break/fix relationship with your provider (that’s where you only call them when there’s a problem), it’s going to mean unexpected costs, lots of waiting, and stress. Plenty of stress.
You’re the captain of your own ship. You have an excellent crew behind you. You’re prepared for anything!
Or so you thought.
Then one day, out of the blue, a massive digital kraken tentacled its way into your ship’s systems, causing havoc.
Your lookout was using the crow’s nest as a cosy place to nap. What you really needed was a vigilant lookout, alert for any small sign of danger.
This is the difference between being proactive about monitoring your business’s systems, or reactive. And we all know that prevention is better than cure, right?
Our latest guide explains everything you need to know about proactive monitoring for your business.

When you’re sailing along smoothly in business it really does feel like you’re living the dream.
But what happens when things get a little choppy?
Are you able to spot potential issues and stop them in their tracks? Or do you wait for the storm and then remember your umbrella?
When it comes to your business’s technology, you should be able to spot a digital storm a mile off. And if you can’t, it’s time to make a change.
Our latest video explains it all.
When you’re running a successful business, you just can’t do everything yourself.
You need to protect your time to focus on the bigger picture: Growing the business. Which means the things that you and only you can do.
Your IT is one of those things you need to trust someone else with. Once you do, there will be countless benefits to you, your team, and your business.
Season’s Greetings to one and all,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
As in previous years, be caution from calls or emails claiming to be from BT or Microsoft suggesting that your computer has been hacked. If your computer pops up a message to say you are infected and to call a number, or it even talks to you, turn it off and call me for advice, it’s usually a browser ‘pop-up’ trying to scare you into thinking your computer is infected.
