Something’s lurking on plenty of business networks this Halloween.

Software that has reached the end of its support life keeps running year after year, even though the security fixes stopped arriving long ago.

Attackers go hunting for these forgotten systems, so it’s worth finding them first.

Our IT Infrastructure Review gives you a written report that ranks anything risky by urgency.

October mornings call for a hot drink and a look at next year's plans.

If there's an IT project you'd like to get moving in 2027, a relaxed conversation over coffee is a good place to begin.

Our team can talk through your cloud plans or your Microsoft 365 setup and help you decide which projects to start with. You're welcome to visit us in Canary Wharf, or we can chat over a video call.

The PSTN switch-off on 31 January 2027 covers more than office phones. Lift phones and alarm systems can run on the same ageing lines, and payment terminals often do too.
Older buildings across Canary Wharf and the Docklands are especially likely to have equipment still wired into the old network without anyone realising it.

The 14-day security update rule has been part of Cyber Essentials for years. Under the current Danzell assessment, missing it on operating systems, firmware or applications can cause the assessment to fail outright.

Before your next Cyber Essentials renewal, check whether your patching process would hold up across every device in scope.

One of the most useful cyber security habits in any business is telling someone quickly when something looks wrong.

When a team member reports a suspicious email straight away, your IT provider has the best chance of containing any damage.

A workplace where people feel comfortable speaking up helps that happen. Thank people when they raise a hand, even if it turns out to be a false alarm.

Dan and Chris run a quick exercise with clients before recommending anything.

List everything you do in an average week. Circle what repeats. Cross out anything urgent, high-stakes, or too quick to bother automating. What's left is usually the strongest starting point for AI, since it's low-risk and time-consuming. Most businesses skip this and go straight to picking a tool, which is exactly how the wrong tool gets picked for the wrong job.

That's one idea from AI, Unlocked. The rest is in the room on 29 October.

QR codes are everywhere, and scammers know it. A fake code stuck over a real one, or dropped into an email, can take someone straight to a convincing sign-in page that's built to steal passwords.

This Cyber Awareness Month, remind your team to pause before scanning a code they didn't expect. If a code asks for a login, it's safer to go to the website directly.
