43% of UK businesses reported a cyber breach or attack in the last year, including 42% of micro businesses and 46% of small ones, according to the government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/26. Only 25% have a formal plan for what to do when it happens.

Frequently asked questions
Are we too small to be targeted?
No. 42% of UK micro businesses reported a breach or attack last year. Most attacks are automated and do not choose targets by size.
Can this be part of our monthly IT support?
Yes. Security checks can be included in ongoing IT support for small businesses, so they do not lapse.
Can it be done remotely?
Most of it, yes. Where hardware such as a router needs physical changes, we will agree the simplest way to handle it with you.
