We make certification straightforward, getting your systems up to standard and guiding you through the requirements in plain English.

365 PC Manager, on your PC
Our own free Windows app — digitally signed in our name — shows your PC’s health in plain English: drive condition, memory, protection, backup, Windows updates, risky programs and network settings, and an honest verdict. Anyone can use it, and we think every Windows PC should have it. On a plan it does more: it keeps your computer up to date and secure.
At every service we run a real broadband speed test from your machine and keep it with your record. Next visit, we can see whether your line has quietly got worse. No other local IT firm we can find will even show you your broadband speed — let alone track it visit to visit.
On a plan, every six-weekly service updates every program on the computer, not just Windows and Office — an out-of-date program is the back door criminals now hunt for with AI — checks your network’s safety, and ends with a written Service Report: what we did, how the machine scored, and anything worth planning. It is emailed to you, saved in your portal and left on your Desktop. And we keep an eye on the machines we look after between visits, so problems get caught before they bite. We can’t find another IT support company in Dorset that gives its customers an app of its own.
- Free forever, no sign-up, uninstall any time
- Every program kept up to date, not just Windows
- Your network’s safety checked at every service
- Broadband speed measured at every visit
- Every written Service Report in one place
- Your next visit — move or cancel it yourself
- Optional: let us run safe maintenance remotely
- No fake errors, no scare tactics, ever

// GOOD QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
What is Cyber Essentials?
It’s a UK government-backed certification showing your business has essential cyber-security controls in place — often required to win contracts.
What’s the difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment you complete and we help verify; Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent, hands-on technical audit of your systems. Plus carries more weight for larger contracts — we’ll advise which you need and get you ready for either.
Can you help us get certified?
Yes — we assess your readiness, get your systems up to standard and guide you through the certification.
How long does it take?
It varies, but with the right controls in place certification can often be achieved quite quickly — we’ll give you a realistic timeline.
Can you keep us compliant?
Yes — we support ongoing compliance so you can recertify each year with confidence.
Do you help Dorset businesses get Cyber Essentials certified?
Yes — we guide businesses across Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole through Cyber Essentials certification from start to finish, in plain English.
Who needs Cyber Essentials?
Any business that wants to prove its security — it’s frequently required for government, NHS and larger contracts, asked for by cyber-insurers, and increasingly expected by customers. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s worth it for you.
