Know exactly where your IT and security stand — for £249.
Not a sales call dressed up as an audit. A fixed-price, qualified review of your systems, backups and security, with a prioritised report in 5 working days. If you go on to a retainer, the £249 is credited against your first month.
What we check
Security baseline
Where you stand against the core Cyber Essentials controls — patching, access, malware protection, firewalls and configuration.
Backup & recovery
Whether your backups actually exist, are off-site, and would restore — the question most businesses only ask too late.
Email & accounts
MFA coverage, admin sprawl, and the email/impersonation risks aimed at finance and admin teams.
Endpoints & devices
Encryption, updates and unsupported software across the machines your team actually uses.
Data & compliance
Where your data lives, UK GDPR exposure, and the gaps that would fail a client or insurer's due diligence.
Quick wins & risks
A prioritised, plain-English list — what to fix this week, this quarter, and what can wait.
How it works
Book it
Pay the fixed £249 and pick a slot. No open-ended scoping call first.
We review
A remote review of your systems, security and backups — light-touch on your team's time.
You get the report
A prioritised, jargon-free report within 5 working days, walked through with you.
Critical (P1) issues we spot are flagged immediately, not held for the report — our standard 1 hour response applies to retainer clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the £249 really fixed, with nothing to add later?
Yes. £249 covers the full review and the written report — there's no hourly creep and no scoping fee before it. If the report leads to fixing things, that's quoted separately and you decide whether to go ahead; you're never signed up to anything by booking the healthcheck.
What do I get at the end?
A prioritised, plain-English report within 5 working days covering your security baseline, backups, email and account security, devices, and data/compliance exposure — with a clear list of what to fix now, soon, and later. We walk you through it so it's genuinely useful, not a PDF you file and forget.
How is this different from the free Cyber Essentials gap-check?
The free gap-check is a self-assessment focused on the five Cyber Essentials controls. The healthcheck is a hands-on review by our team that goes wider — backups, devices, data and compliance as well as security — and produces a prioritised action report. If you're not sure which you need, start with the free gap-check.
Is the £249 wasted if we then hire you?
No — it's credited in full against your first month if you go on to a managed IT retainer. The healthcheck is designed to be the low-risk first step, not an extra cost on top.
How much of our time does it take?
Very little. It's mostly a remote review of your systems with a short call to give us access and context. We work around your team rather than pulling them off the job.
Start with a straight answer.
A fixed-price healthcheck tells you exactly where your IT and security stand — devices, backups, email security and where your data sits — in a plain-English report within five working days. Credited against your first month if you go on to a retainer.
