Why it matters for small businesses
Cyber attacks aren't just a big business problem
Most small business owners assume hackers are only interested in banks and corporations. The reality is the opposite. Criminals actively target small businesses precisely because they tend to have weaker defences and less time to deal with threats.
​
A phishing email that tricks a member of staff. A leaked password. An unpatched piece of software. That's all it takes. The average cost of a cyber incident for a small UK business runs into thousands — and that's before the lost time, the damaged reputation and the stress.
​
The good news: the right basic protections stop the vast majority of attacks. You don't need an enterprise IT department. You just need the right setup — and someone to keep an eye on it.
Phishing is the #1 threat
Most breaches start with a convincing email. We filter them out before they reach your inbox and train your team to spot the ones that slip through.
Weak passwords are a wide-open door
Stolen or reused passwords account for a huge proportion of breaches. A password manager and multi-factor authentication close that door for good.
Without backups, ransomware wins
If ransomware encrypts your files, your only options are pay or restore from backup. We make sure you always have a clean, recent backup — so you never have to pay.
Compliance is getting harder to ignore
GDPR, Cyber Essentials, insurance requirements — the bar keeps rising. We help you stay on the right side of the rules without drowning in paperwork.
01
Cyber Essentials Certification
The UK government-backed standard that proves your business takes security seriously. We guide you through the whole process — assessment, fixes, and certification. It can unlock government contracts and reduce your cyber insurance premiums.
02
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Enterprise-grade protection on every device — laptops, desktops, phones — without the enterprise price tag. Our EDR solution monitors for threats around the clock and responds automatically before damage is done.
03
Cyber Security Awareness Training
Your team is your biggest vulnerability — and your best defence. We run practical, engaging training that teaches staff how to spot phishing emails, handle data safely and respond when something feels wrong. No death-by-PowerPoint.
04
Email Security & Filtering
Advanced filtering that catches phishing, spam, malware and impersonation attacks before they reach your inbox. Think of it as a very smart bouncer that only lets the legitimate emails through.

Is this right for me?

We have used Cache4 for several years now. When we had to set up staff to work from home quickly, Cache4 took it in their stride and helped us overcome every challenge. I would recommend them without hesitation as a company who are a pleasure to deal with and whose charges are reasonable.
