Built on experience with
The cyber industry
has a small-business
problem.
Most cyber security is built for enterprises. It comes with enterprise pricing, enterprise jargon, and an enterprise expectation that you have a CISO, a SOC and a six-figure budget.
UK SMEs don't. And the criminals know it — around 612,000 UK businesses reported a cyber breach or attack last year, with phishing the dominant threat by a wide margin.
SafeSide Cyber exists to close that gap. We deliver the same standard of advice you'd get from a top-tier consultancy — distilled into clear, proportionate action that actually fits a 5, 20 or 50-person business.
Three services.
One clear journey.
Start with a Healthcheck. We'll show you where you stand, talk you through the findings, and only do more work if you actually need it.
Cyber Security Healthcheck
A guided 30-question assessment across six core domains. You get a full written report, an overall posture score, RAG-rated findings — and a free hour with your consultant to talk it through.
Cyber Risk Improvement
A practical, prioritised roadmap that turns your Healthcheck findings into action — phased, proportionate, and scoped to your business. We can deliver it, oversee your IT provider, or hand it over.
Cyber Awareness Workshop
A half-day in-person workshop at your office. Real stories from real breach response, not recycled e-learning slides. Phishing, MFA, GDPR, ransomware — the things that actually get SMEs.
From "I don't know
where to start"
to knowing exactly
where you stand.
The Healthcheck is built around six domains that cover where SMEs actually get hit — accounts, email, devices, backups, networks and people. It's online, takes around 30 minutes, and you can save and resume.

Twenty-five
years of practice.
One clear mission.
I started SafeSide Cyber because the businesses I grew up around — engineers, contractors, suppliers, family firms — were being sold cyber security in a language they couldn't follow, at prices they couldn't justify.
Twenty-five years across IT and a decade specialising in cyber for blue-chip enterprises taught me that good security isn't about products or jargon. It's about asking the right questions in the right order, and then doing the simple things well.
That's what SafeSide Cyber is for.
