Cyber Essentials Support for Businesses

Security Gaps Can Delay Cyber Essentials Progress

Without clear ownership and an organised approach, businesses can spend time gathering information while important security issues remain unresolved.

Unclear Starting Point

It can be difficult to know whether your current devices, accounts, networks and security practices meet the relevant requirements. A structured review helps identify what needs attention before you move forward.

Inconsistent Security Controls

Security settings may vary between users, devices and locations. These inconsistencies can create avoidable gaps and make the assessment process harder to manage.

Missing or Outdated Information

Incomplete records about devices, software and user access can slow progress. Clear documentation makes it easier to understand your current position and assign the necessary actions.

Last-Minute Remediation

Leaving technical changes until an assessment is underway can create unnecessary pressure. Identifying and addressing issues earlier gives your team a more manageable route toward Cyber Essentials.

In my capacity as Treasurer and trustee of a medium sized charity- for more than 5 years, I have had the pleasure to work with the PS Tech team across our website - which they assisted building and are now managing- and build and manage our email system. I highly recommend PS Tech for their knowledge, experience, kindness and quick response(!).

PS Tech have provided our IT support since 2019. During that time we have overseen replacement of hardware, and moving from location based server to SharePoint. Paul remains closely involved with our requirements and is ably supported by his team from day to day helpdesk queries, to managing our new starters and projects. We would have no hesitation in recommending PS Tech!

PS Tech set up my previous laptop way before the pandemic but now I wanted a faster laptop for when I was working away from the office/home. I have known Paul at PS Tech for more than 14 years so I trust his experience and advice implicitly. Paul supplied with me with a new Dell Latitude laptop, and it is soooooo quick!! As I do not live local to PS Tech, they also provided a service to set the computer up in advance and ship it to my home address. That saved me a lot of time and hassle (and heartache as I just don't have the patience they do), and I am glad I asked them. I have absolutely hit the ground running with it. Thanks so much to the team!
