IT security for homes and small businesses
Most people are sold either far too much security or none at all. What you actually need is usually a short list: know where your passwords live, know your data is backed up somewhere that isn't the same machine, and don't leave the front door on its factory setting.

What this covers
- Firewall setup for home offices and small businesses
- Password manager setup
- Basic security checks and advice
What usually happens
- Do I need to pay for antivirus?
- Often not. Windows includes a perfectly good one, and for a lot of people the paid suites mainly add nagging. I'll tell you when something extra is genuinely worth it.
- I've been scammed or think I've been hacked. What now?
- Call me. The first hour matters more than anything else, and the first steps are usually about your accounts rather than your computer.
- Is a password manager really safer than my notebook?
- Yes, and it's less hassle once it's set up. I'll get it working across your phone and computer and show you how to use it.
Other things I help with

- Websites & onlineKeeping the public face of your business online and quick.
- Apps & software developmentWhen off-the-shelf software doesn't fit how you actually work.
