MFA for every person
A second sign-in step on email, files, payroll, and banking, set up with each person.
The Problem
Your Business Runs on Logins Nobody Has Secured
The gap shows up when a customer pays a fake invoice, a laptop goes missing, or a former employee still has access months after leaving.
01 · Shared password
Everyone uses the same admin password for everything.
Each person gets their own login, and admin access sits in separate accounts.
02 · Old access
A former employee can still open the shared drive.
We remove old accounts and review who can reach each app and folder.
03 · Fake invoices
Customers receive fake invoices sent from your own domain.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC tell inboxes to reject mail pretending to be you.
04 · Lost laptop
A stolen laptop means wondering what data walked out the door.
Laptops are encrypted and can be wiped remotely the same day.
Your business runs on email, a shared drive, a payments app, and a few laptops. Everyone knows the one admin password, and the former bookkeeper can still open the shared drive. Nobody turned on MFA because it seemed like a hassle. Then a customer gets an invoice from your email address with new bank details, and they pay it. You don't need an enterprise security program. You need the basics switched on, in the right order, by someone who has done it many times before.
We start with a free security check of the accounts, devices, and data you already have. Then we switch on the protections that stop the most common small business attacks: MFA everywhere, separate admin accounts, email spoofing protection, encrypted and updated devices, and backups we've restored once. Most of it uses features already in your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace plan. You get a short list of what changed and what to do if something looks wrong, not a thick report nobody reads.
MFA on every account
Email, banking, payroll, and admin logins protected with a second step that fits your team.
Your domain protected from spoofing
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set so fake invoices sent as you get rejected or flagged.
Backups restored once
Files and email backed up off site, with a test restore so you know recovery works.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Small Business Owners Trust Us With Their Security Basics
Small business cyber security has to fit a busy week with no IT department. These habits keep it simple, cheap to run, and in your control.
Use what you already pay for
Most small businesses already own the security features they need in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. We switch those on before suggesting any new purchase.
Basics in the right order
Accounts first, then email, devices, and backups. Doing the cheap, high-impact fixes first protects you within days instead of months.
Plain English for owners
We explain every change without jargon and tell you what staff will notice. Nobody gets locked out on a Monday because nobody warned them.
Staff shown, not lectured
We walk each person through their new sign-in in a few minutes. People keep using MFA when the first experience is easy.
You keep the keys
Admin accounts, recovery codes, and settings stay in your name, not ours. If you change providers later, nothing is held hostage.
Priced by headcount
Plans are priced by how many people need protecting. You know the full price before we start, and nothing renews automatically.

Good fit
Owner-run firms with 5 to 15 staff
Your office manager also handles IT, everyone shares one admin password, and you want small business cybersecurity basics done properly once.
Shops and studios taking card payments
You take payments online and in store, a supplier's email was hijacked last month, and you want protection that needs no full-time IT person.
Growing teams on Microsoft 365
You pay for Microsoft 365 Business Premium but haven't switched on its security features, and staff still sign in with passwords alone.
Businesses answering a customer questionnaire
Your larger customer's questionnaire asks about MFA, backups, and training, and you need cybersecurity for small businesses that lets you answer honestly.
IT freelancers and MSPs serving SMBs
You support several small clients and want cybersecurity for SMB clients set up the same way every time, under your own brand.
Not a fit
Want ongoing monitoring
You want someone watching alerts and running your security tools every month. Our managed security services page covers that ongoing work.
Medical or dental practice
You run a medical practice and need HIPAA Security Rule safeguards in place. Our cybersecurity for medical practices page is built for that.
Over 50 people or servers
Your company has more than 50 people, servers on site, or several offices. Our cybersecurity services page starts with a full assessment instead.
Solo with one laptop
You're a one-person business with one laptop and one email account. The FTC's free guides for small businesses and MFA everywhere are enough to start.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
Small business cybersecurity starts at $550 with DeveloperLook, covering MFA, admin cleanup, and email spoofing protection for up to 10 people. Adding devices, a password manager, and tested backups for up to 25 people is $1,350. Businesses of up to 50 people with staff training and response steps start at $2,750, all one-time prices.
The basics take 3 to 5 business days, and the full setup takes 2 to 4 weeks. Most of that time goes to scheduling sign-in changes with your team, not technical work. We plan each change for a quiet day, so nobody loses access in the middle of a busy morning.
The best entry-level step is MFA on every account, starting with email, banking, and payroll. After that come separate admin accounts, email spoofing protection, automatic updates, and tested backups. These basics cost little because most come with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and they block common attacks such as stolen passwords and fake invoices.
The easiest solution is to switch on what you already pay for. Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Google Workspace include MFA, device management, and email protection, but much of it needs setting up before it protects you. A one-time setup turns it on in days, and your team keeps working in the same apps.
The best services cover four areas in order: accounts, email, devices, and backups. Look for a provider that sets things up with your staff, documents every change, and leaves the admin keys with you. Monitoring and training come once the basics are solid, and our managed security services page covers that ongoing work.
The best cyber security for small business owners comes from companies sized for them. That means fixed prices, plain explanations, and setups built on tools you already own. Be wary of anyone selling a large platform before checking your MFA and backups. We're happy to be compared, and we'll point you to a cheaper option when it fits better.
Choose one that gives a fixed price before work starts, explains changes in plain English, and leaves every admin account in your name. Ask what happens after handover and whether they test backups by restoring them. A reliable provider also tells you when a free guide or your current IT person can cover the job.
Yes. Both include most of what a small business needs: MFA, email filtering, and device management on the right plans. We check your current plan first. If a feature needs an upgrade, such as Microsoft 365 Business Premium for Intune, we tell you the cost before you decide. Many teams need no new software at all.
The setup is one-time, and the upkeep is ongoing. Once MFA, email protection, devices, and backups are in place, someone still needs to remove leavers, review alerts, and check backups each month. Many owners handle that with our handover sheet, while others move to a monthly managed service later.
You get 30 days of support after handover for questions, sign-in problems, and small adjustments. You also keep a one-page summary of every change and a ranked list of next fixes. If you later want ongoing help, we can quote a monthly plan, but nothing renews automatically.
