Written for Surrey small businesses
These guides are written for owners and managers of small businesses in Guildford, Woking, Farnham, Reigate and the rest of Surrey who don't have an in-house security team. Each one starts with a short summary, follows UK guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre, IASME and the ICO, and is updated when the rules change, such as the April 2026 Cyber Essentials update that made multi-factor authentication and 14-day patching mandatory.
If you'd rather someone just sorted it, every guide links to the matching service, and the first call is free. I'm based in Guildford and work with businesses on-site across Surrey and remotely anywhere in the UK.
