We’ve launched a free cyber security review for businesses in Fife with 1 to 15 staff. We check the six areas where small businesses are most often caught out, then send you a plain-English report with the fixes in order. It’s free, and there’s no obligation.
Why now
Cyber attacks on well-known businesses keep making the news, and small firms are hit too. The UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey, published on 30 April 2026, found that 43% of UK businesses identified a cyber breach or attack in the previous 12 months, rising to 46% of small businesses. Phishing was the most common attack, experienced by 38% of businesses.
Attacks on small businesses often start with something simple: an email account without multi-factor sign-in, a fake request to change bank details, or an old account nobody switched off. Those are the things our review looks for.
What we check
- Email and Microsoft 365: multi-factor sign-in, admin accounts, forwarding rules and email filtering.
- Accounts and access: former staff, shared logins, admin rights and passwords.
- Computers, laptops and phones: security updates, antivirus, disk encryption and screen locks.
- Backups and recovery: what’s backed up, and whether a restore has ever been tested.
- Wi-Fi, router and remote working: router passwords and updates, guest Wi-Fi and how staff connect from home.
- People, payments and phishing: how staff spot phishing and how changes to bank details are checked.
How it works
You fill in a form about your business and your IT, where most questions have a Not sure option. Then we arrange an online session at a time that suits you and look at your settings with you, read-only and with your permission. Matt, who looks after our networking and cybersecurity work, visits if something needs hands on. We never ask for your passwords.
You get a written report with every check marked red, amber or green, and a call to go through it. It also shows how close you are to Cyber Essentials. There’s an example report on the free cyber security review page.
