of UK businesses identified a cybersecurity breach or attack in the previous 12 months, according to the UK Government's 2025/26 Cyber Security Breaches Survey.
This includes attempted attacks; it does not mean 43% suffered a successful hack. A Technology MOT is a practical health check, not a guarantee against cyber incidents.

Authorised Ethernet, network equipment and Power over Ethernet checks, where accessible.
Basic performance, storage, operating system updates and visible error indicators.
Firewall, antivirus, MFA and device protection settings — not penetration testing.

Basic network and recording status for customer-authorised systems.
Printers, scanners, connected devices and common communication problems.
Microsoft 365, email access and business-critical software configuration where agreed.

Ask about repairs ↗For a small business, an Essential inspection is designed around a 60–90 minute visit. Larger or more complex sites may require a longer appointment and a revised quotation.
We agree access and authorisation in advance. Some checks need a staff member to sign in or supervise access. We will not ask you to email passwords or make changes without permission.
No. It is a practical technology health check and basic cybersecurity-hygiene review, not a penetration test, Cyber Essentials certification, statutory inspection or guarantee that systems are free of vulnerabilities.
We document the finding and recommend next steps. If it is a fault we can safely address, we can give you a separate quote. You decide whether any repair goes ahead.
No. We aim to support shops, cafés, salons, professional services, property businesses, warehouses and other small organisations in Preston and the surrounding Lancashire area.
Tell us a little about your business. We'll contact you to confirm the scope, availability and price before any appointment is booked.
