Cyber security for small businesses in Bournemouth, Poole & Dorset
Ransomware, scams and phishing emails look for the easy way in, and small businesses are often the easiest. We close the doors with layered protection — business antivirus, email filtering, multi-factor sign-in, backups and staff training — set up and looked after by a local team, with our prices on this page. Homes too. The protection runs round the clock, and the people answer Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Rated 4.9 on Google.

One wrong click shouldn’t cost you everything
Cybercrime targets homes and small businesses just as hard as big companies — because they’re often the softest targets. One dodgy email or weak password can mean locked files, a drained bank account or stolen customer data.
So we don’t rely on a single tool. We build layers of protection that work together, and we manage and monitor them for you. Security actually stays switched on instead of lapsing the moment life gets busy. For businesses that need certified assurance, we also help you achieve Cyber Essentials.
- Endpoint protection & antivirus
- Ransomware prevention
- Phishing & scam filtering
- Multi-factor authentication
- Password management
- Web & DNS filtering
- Verified backups & recovery
- 24/7 threat monitoring
- Staff & family awareness
- Plain-English security reviews
/02 — THE 365 SECURITY STACK
Layered defence, end to end
Real security isn’t one product — it’s layers. If one is bypassed, the next one holds. Here’s the stack we set up and manage for you.
Endpoint protection
Malwarebytes Premium & VPN on every device — blocking malware, ransomware and dodgy sites in real time.
Email & phishing security
Scam and phishing filtering on your inbox, plus a human to ask ‘is this safe?’ before you click.
Patch management
Windows, browsers and apps kept up to date — closing the holes attackers rely on.
MFA & passwords
Multi-factor authentication and password managers set up the painless way, so a stolen password isn’t enough.
Web & DNS filtering
Malicious, scam and phishing websites blocked before they ever load.
Backup & recovery
Automatic, verified backups so even ransomware can’t hold your data hostage.
24/7 monitoring
Devices watched for threats and suspicious behaviour, day and night.
Awareness & advice
Simple guidance for your family or team — because people are the front line.
/03 — PRIVACY & VPN
Private browsing, wherever you are
Antivirus protects your device; a VPN protects your data as it travels. The two work hand in hand — so we include Malwarebytes Privacy VPN as the privacy layer of your security stack, set up and managed by us.
Safe on public Wi-Fi
Café, hotel and airport Wi-Fi is shared with strangers. The VPN scrambles your connection so nobody on the network can snoop on what you’re doing.
Browsing kept private
Even your own broadband provider can normally see the sites you visit — with the VPN on, where you go and what you do stays private.
Bank-grade encryption
Modern WireGuard® encryption (256-bit ChaCha20) keeps everything you send scrambled and unreadable while it’s in transit.
Choose your location
Pick from 150+ servers across 60+ locations worldwide (the UK included) to mask your IP and reach your own accounts when you’re travelling.
Built-in kill switch
On Windows and Mac, if the VPN ever drops it can cut your connection rather than quietly leave you exposed.
No-logs, independently audited
A strict no-logs policy — independently audited in 2026, with no evidence of user-activity logging found.
Honest note: a VPN protects your data, not your device — it works alongside antivirus, and we’d never promise it unblocks streaming services like Netflix or BBC iPlayer.
/04 — THREATS WE STOP
What we’re protecting you from
Ransomware
Malware that locks up your files and demands payment — blocked, with backups ready if needed.
Phishing emails
Fake emails designed to steal logins or money — filtered out before they reach you.
Online scams
Fake invoices, delivery texts and ‘your account is locked’ tricks — spotted and stopped.
Malware & viruses
Viruses, spyware and trojans — caught in real time across all your devices.
Account takeover
Stolen passwords made useless by multi-factor authentication.
Data loss
Hardware failure, theft or mistakes — covered by automatic, verified backups.
/05 — HOME & BUSINESS
The right protection for your world
Security for your home
Keep the whole family safe — the banking, the photos, the kids’ devices. We set up protection across every laptop, tablet and phone and keep an eye on it for you.
- Malwarebytes Premium & VPN on every device
- Scam & phishing protection
- MFA on email, banking & shopping
- Automatic backups of photos & files
Security for your business
Protect your team, your data and your reputation — without an in-house IT department. We roll out and centrally manage your whole security stack and report on it.
- Centrally managed endpoint protection
- Microsoft 365 security & email filtering
- MFA, access control & leaver checks
- Verified backups & security reviews

// GOOD QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
What makes this ‘the ultimate’ security?
It’s layered. Instead of relying on one tool, we stack multiple defences — endpoint protection, email filtering, patching, multi-factor authentication, backups and monitoring — all set up, managed and watched by us. If one layer is bypassed, the next one catches it.
Do you use Malwarebytes?
Yes — as a Malwarebytes Partner we deploy Malwarebytes as the endpoint layer of your security stack, set up and managed by us: £2.50 a month for a home computer, and ThreatDown, the business edition, at £4.50 per computer a month. See our Malwarebytes Premium & VPN page.
What does the VPN add to my security?
The VPN (Malwarebytes Privacy VPN) encrypts your internet connection so your browsing stays private — vital on public Wi-Fi, where others on the network could otherwise snoop. It also hides your location and even lets you choose which country you appear to browse from. Antivirus protects your device; the VPN protects your data as it travels — the two work hand in hand. See our Privacy VPN guide.
How do you protect against scams and viruses?
We set up endpoint protection and web filtering, keep everything patched, filter phishing email, and give you a real human to ask whether a message is safe before you click.
Do you offer multi-factor authentication?
Yes — we set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) and password managers the painless way, for home and business accounts, so a stolen password isn’t enough to get in.
Can you review our business security?
Yes — we provide plain-English business security reviews covering devices, email, backups, passwords, access and staff awareness, with clear recommendations. If your firewall’s licence is up for renewal, see what happens when a firewall licence expires.
I think I’ve been hacked — can you help?
Yes. Contact us straight away — see our emergency help for a hacked business. We’ll help lock down your accounts, clean up affected devices, restore from backup if needed and stop it happening again.
How much does cyber security cost for a small business?
Our prices are on this page, per person a month with no VAT to add: staff security training £1.75, email filtering £2.75, the Keeper password manager £3.50 and ThreatDown business antivirus £4.50 per computer. Most small offices start with two or three of these alongside a business support plan, from £24.38 per computer with remote fixes included.
Do you provide cyber security for small businesses in Dorset?
