Do I have to buy anything?

No. The call is genuinely free and there is no obligation. If the honest answer is 'do X yourself using the free NCSC materials', that is what we will say.

Is this only for people wanting Cyber Essentials?

No. If you are unsure whether Cyber Essentials is right for you, that is exactly the sort of question this call is for.

How is this different from the NCSC scheme?

The NCSC scheme is fantastic – we point people at it constantly. Ours is complementary: private-sector, IASME-licensed, and available without waiting on cohort intake.

Can I share the call with a co-founder or IT lead?

Yes – bring anyone who will be involved in decisions. Thirty minutes goes faster with the right people in the room.

Free 30-Minute Cyber Consultation for UK Small Businesses

Following the NCSC's lead

The NCSC recently expanded free hands-on cyber consultancy for UK small businesses because the same simple things keep going wrong: missing MFA, patchy backups, unclear ownership. We run the same 30-minute format from the private-sector side, with a UK IASME-licensed assessor on the other end of the call.

What we cover

Your top three practical risks – based on how your team actually works
MFA, patching and account hygiene: the changes that shift risk the most for the least effort
Backups that would actually restore your business after ransomware
Whether Cyber Essentials is the right next step – and what it does not cover
Free NCSC resources we recommend before you spend anything

Who this is for

UK organisations up to around 50 staff, especially first-time buyers of any cyber service. Sole traders and micro-businesses are welcome.
