Free, no sales call needed
Two free checks. Know where you stand.
Domain email check
Can someone send email pretending to be you? Is your real email landing in junk? Type your domain and find out in under a minute.
IT Health Check
A short set of questions that scores your security and business risk, and tells you what to fix first. 15 to 20 minutes on your own.
IT shouldn't be a headache.
Most IT support is reactive: you call them when things are already broken. We do things differently.
Our RMM (remote monitoring and management) tooling monitors and patches every device 24/7 and raises alerts to our helpdesk. A failing disk, a backup that stopped or a laptop that has missed its updates gets picked up in office hours, usually before anyone notices.
- An engineer answers the phone, not a call centre.
- A fixed monthly price per user.
- A quarterly review on what is ageing, what is at risk and what to budget for.
A week of support
People in office hours. Tooling around the clock.
How we take on a new client
Three steps, the same for every business we take on.
Stage 1
Audit
- Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace settings and licences
- Laptops, servers, backups and network
- What is risky, and what you pay for but do not use
You get: A written plan and a per user quote
Stage 2
Secure and stabilise
- MFA, Defender and device encryption switched on
- Intune baselines for every device
- The things that keep breaking, fixed
You get: A security baseline you can show an insurer
Stage 3
Monitor and manage
- Helpdesk Mon to Thu 08:45 to 17:00, Fri to 16:00
- Every device monitored and patched, 24/7
- A named engineer and a quarterly review
You get: IT that stops being a topic

Black Sheep CyberCloud Services
Off the old server. We move files and email into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, retire servers you no longer need, and use Azure only where it earns its keep.
