IT that protects the public purse and public data
Councils, schools, multi-academy trusts and colleges carry a duty to safeguard pupil and citizen data on budgets that never stretch far enough. We deliver managed IT that meets Cyber Essentials and PSN requirements, buys cleanly through public procurement frameworks, and defends legacy estates against the ransomware that keeps hitting the sector.
Compliance we build to
- Cyber Essentials
- PSN compliance
- G-Cloud and public frameworks
- ISO 27001
The pressure you are under
What keeps this sector up at night
The stakes are specific. We build the stack around the risks that actually matter to your operation.
Ransomware is targeting the sector
Councils and schools are among the most attacked organisations in the country. Attackers know the data is sensitive and the defences are often thin.
Budgets are stretched thin
Every pound is scrutinised for value for money. IT has to be secure and compliant while standing up to public spending oversight.
In-house IT is under-resourced
A single technician often covers a whole school or a small council team. There is rarely capacity to monitor, patch and respond around the clock.
Legacy estates are fragile
Ageing servers, unsupported software and years of make-do fixes leave open doors that a modern attacker walks straight through.
Safeguarding raises the stakes
Pupil and citizen records are among the most sensitive data there is. A breach is not just a fine, it is a failure of a duty of care.
Downtime stops public services
When systems fail, lessons stop and residents cannot access the services they depend on. Recovery has to be quick and dependable.
Our approach
Built for your operating reality
We start by mapping the estate you actually have, legacy and all, then organise a plan that closes the biggest gaps first without demanding a budget you do not have. Cyber Essentials and PSN requirements are treated as the baseline, so the certifications public contracts depend on stay in place year on year. We buy and deliver through G-Cloud and the public procurement frameworks your organisation must use, which keeps spending transparent and defensible. Monitoring, patching and tested backup run continuously, so an under-resourced in-house team gains round-the-clock cover and pupil and citizen data is safeguarded as a matter of routine, not a scramble after an incident.

How we help
The services that do the work
A joined-up stack, tuned to your sector. Explore the services that matter most here.
Cybersecurity and 24/7 monitoring
Ransomware defence, phishing protection and incident response built for a sector that is actively targeted, with Cyber Essentials as the baseline.
Backup and disaster recovery
Tested recovery with clear objectives, so a ransomware hit or a failed server does not stop lessons or public services for long.
Managed IT support
Round-the-clock monitoring and patching that extends a stretched in-house team, delivered for a predictable, budget-friendly monthly cost.
IT consultancy and roadmap
A funded plan to modernise legacy estates and evidence value for money, with buying routed through the frameworks you are required to use.
Compliance, as fact
The frameworks we work to
Not a bolt-on service. The controls your regulators expect are baked into how we run your estate.
Cyber Essentials
The baseline certification often mandated to win and hold public contracts, kept current so your eligibility never lapses.
PSN compliance
The controls and evidence needed to connect to the Public Services Network and keep that connection in good standing.
G-Cloud and public frameworks
Services bought and delivered through the Digital Marketplace and approved frameworks, so procurement stays transparent and defensible.
ISO 27001
An information security management system that gives councils, trusts and colleges assurance across the whole estate.
GDPR
Pupil and citizen data handled with defensible retention, access control and breach response, in line with your duty of care.
Safeguarding of data
Sensitive records for pupils and residents protected as a routine part of how the estate is run, not an afterthought.
