What Sets Our Audit Apart
1Structured 3-Hour Format
Not a sales-pitch in disguise. A focused, hands-on review of your real environment, with findings and an action plan delivered at the end of the same session.
2Risk-Rated Report
Every finding is rated Low, Medium or High so you know exactly what to fix first. No alarmist language, no jargon — just clear, prioritised guidance.
3On-the-Spot Fixes
Where time allows, we resolve simple issues during the session — enabling MFA, removing risky software, tightening Wi-Fi settings, or installing a password manager.
What Is Included
Wi-Fi Security Review
We assess your router configuration, Wi-Fi encryption (WPA2/WPA3), guest network setup, hidden management interfaces, and check for unauthorised devices connected to your network.
Password Security Review
We evaluate password strength, reuse across accounts, browser-stored credentials, and recommend a sensible password manager so every account has a unique, strong password.
Device Security Review
We assess laptops, desktops, tablets and phones for missing updates, weak local accounts, screen-lock policies, and risky software that may expose you to attack.
Operating System Review
We verify your operating system is supported, up-to-date, and properly configured — including Windows Defender, macOS Gatekeeper, FileVault and other built-in protections.
Malware Checks
We scan for active malware, adware, browser hijackers and stalkerware using professional tools, and remove anything found during the audit at no extra cost.
Backup Assessment
We review whether your important data is actually backed up — and recoverable. We test restore scenarios and recommend OneDrive, Google Drive or local backup strategies as appropriate.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Review
We check which of your critical accounts (email, banking, business tools) have MFA enabled, recommend the safest MFA method, and help you turn it on where it's missing.
Privacy Settings Review
We review browser privacy, social media exposure, app permissions on phones, and tracking that may reveal more than you intend. Practical fixes you can apply immediately.
Security Recommendations Report
You leave with a written summary outlining identified risks (Low / Medium / High), specific recommendations to fix them, and a prioritised action plan you can implement at your own pace or have us complete.

Why Cyber Security Matters
Password Security
Weak or reused passwords are the #1 cause of account compromise. A single leaked password can give attackers access to email, banking, social media and business systems if you reuse it.
Phishing Attacks
Phishing emails and texts have become extremely convincing. Even careful users are caught out by fake invoices, "your package is on hold" messages, and impersonation of trusted brands.
Ransomware Risks
Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment to unlock them. Small businesses and households are increasingly targeted because they are seen as easier to compromise.
Data Protection
Your data — photos, tax records, client information, business documents — is irreplaceable. Without proper protection a single device failure or compromise can wipe out years of records.
Account Security
Email accounts are the master key to most digital lives. If an attacker controls your email, they can reset passwords on every other service. MFA is the single biggest defence.
Business Continuity
For small businesses, even a few days offline due to a cyber incident can be devastating. Good security is fundamentally about being able to keep operating no matter what goes wrong.
