Completed Work
A record of assignments carried out for small businesses around Nottingham since 2013. Each entry below is a real engagement type, summarised without client-identifying detail. Full case notes are available on request during a consultation.
Firewall Rebuild for a Retail Office
Replaced an outdated firewall with a rule set matched to staff roles, closed 14 unused ports and set up logging so the owner can see traffic patterns weekly.
Phishing Filter Rollout, Accountancy Practice
Configured domain authentication records and a filtering layer for a 6-person accountancy office after two invoice fraud attempts were reported to us.
Backup System for a Physiotherapy Clinic
Set up daily encrypted backups of patient scheduling records with an offsite copy, plus a tested restore procedure the clinic manager can run without support.
Awareness Session for a Café Chain
Ran a 90-minute session for 11 staff across two Nottingham locations covering password habits, card payment terminal risks and how to report a suspicious call.
Vulnerability Scan for a Legal Office
Scanned 18 workstations and 3 servers for a small legal practice, found 7 unpatched applications and produced a prioritised fix list ranked by exposure.
Till Network Segmentation, Corner Shop Group
Separated payment terminals from the general office network across 4 shop locations, reducing the reach of any single compromised device to card-handling systems.
Secure Remote Login for a Design Studio
Introduced two-factor login and a managed VPN for a 9-person studio after they moved to a hybrid work pattern, replacing shared passwords with individual accounts.
Ransomware Recovery, Furniture Retailer
Contained an infected workstation within an hour of the call, restored files from an unaffected backup and rebuilt the machine, avoiding any ransom negotiation.
Access Review for a Dental Surgery
Audited 22 user accounts across patient records and admin systems, removed 6 former-staff logins still active and set role-based permissions going forward.
Cloud Storage Lockdown, Marketing Agency
Reviewed sharing settings on a shared document platform for a 13-person agency, found 40 files publicly linked, and set expiry rules on external shares.
Guest Wi-Fi Separation, Bed and Breakfast
Split guest and office Wi-Fi onto separate networks for a small Nottingham bed and breakfast, so booking software and card details stay off the same segment as visitor devices.
Data Handling Review, Recruitment Agency
Documented how candidate data moves through a small recruitment agency's systems and closed gaps in deletion practice for records no longer needed.
