Frequently asked questions

How quickly can you get onsite in North West London?

Same day across Edgware, Stanmore, Mill Hill, Hendon, Colindale, Burnt Oak, Kingsbury, Harrow, Wembley, Golders Green, Finchley and Borehamwood. Most issues are fixed remotely within business hours.

Do you provide support outside office hours?

Standard support is Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Devices are monitored 24/7. Guaranteed evening and weekend cover is available as an add-on.

Can you help us pass Cyber Essentials?

Yes. We prepare your systems, answer the assessment with you and fix gaps before submission. Under the 2026 v3.3 rules, missing MFA or critical updates left unpatched for more than 14 days are automatic fails, and our managed plans cover both.

Do you complete our DSPT for us?

We provide the technical evidence: devices, accounts, backup, patching and security controls. Other sections, such as paper records and staff policies, remain with you, and we show you exactly which ones.

How does switching from our current IT provider work?

We check your current notice period, take over admin access, deploy monitoring and security, and migrate anything needed. Most clients are fully onboarded within 30 days.
