It covers everything from troubleshooting computer issues and managing cybersecurity to maintaining cloud infrastructure and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
IT support is essential for keeping your business running smoothly, securely, and efficiently. Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise, having reliable IT support ensures that your systems, networks, and applications are always performing at their best.
From preventing downtime and securing data to improving productivity and reducing costs, IT support plays a critical role in business success and growth.
Having an in-house IT manager is a valuable asset for any business. They play a crucial role in maintaining IT infrastructure, supporting staff, and implementing new technologies.
However, as technology advances and cyber threats evolve, even the most skilled IT managers can benefit from additional resources, expertise, and support.
At Bespoke Computing, we understand that every business has unique IT needs, which is why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all pricing model.
Instead, we provide tailored IT solutions designed to match your specific requirements, budget, and growth plans.

Thanks to ever-evolving technology, the world is getting smaller – with customers, suppliers and partners located on opposite sides of the globe able to communicate with ease and in real time. And with more and more teams adopting remote, hybrid or flexible working approaches, the need for connectivity and collaboration has never been greater.
In line with this, many businesses are seeking a flexible and affordable solution to support them in nurturing and enhancing their international relationships as well as keeping their teams connected.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows businesses to make and receive phone calls over the internet, rather than using traditional telephone lines. VoIP converts voice into digital signals that can be transmitted over broadband connections, making it a cost-effective, flexible, and scalable solution for modern communication.
Businesses are increasingly adopting VoIP to reduce call costs, improve flexibility, and integrate voice communication with other digital tools like Microsoft Teams, CRM systems, and video conferencing platforms.
VoIP is completely changing corporate communications – for the better.
It’s a particularly useful tool for businesses that are rapidly expanding, regularly recruiting, planning to relocate, or that have multiple sites (across the UK, or even worldwide), thanks to its ability to work across multiple devices.
3CX is a leading VoIP communication system that provides cost-effective, feature-rich, and highly flexible phone solutions for businesses.
As a 3CX Partner with Advanced Certification, Bespoke Computing delivers expert installation, customisation, and ongoing support for businesses looking to improve their communication infrastructure.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a cost-effective and flexible solution for modern business communication. It allows businesses to make and receive calls over the internet, eliminating the need for traditional phone lines. However, while VoIP systems offer many benefits, they can also present technical challenges that affect call quality, reliability, and overall performance.
Understanding common VoIP problems and knowing how to prevent or fix them can help businesses avoid disruptions and maintain seamless communication.

Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based productivity suite designed to enhance collaboration, security, and efficiency for businesses of all sizes. More than just an upgraded version of Microsoft Office, it includes a comprehensive range of applications and services that allow businesses to work seamlessly across multiple devices, from any location.
Whether you need a secure email solution, cloud storage, team collaboration tools, or advanced security, Microsoft 365 provides an integrated solution to meet your business needs.
If you’ve recently switched to Microsoft 365, you might feel overwhelmed by the number of apps, features, and settings available. Many businesses subscribe to Microsoft 365 but fail to configure it correctly, leading to security risks, inefficiencies, and underutilisation of key features.
Whether you’re migrating from another platform or starting fresh, it’s essential to set up Microsoft 365 correctly to maximise productivity and security.
Many businesses subscribe to Microsoft 365 but only use a fraction of its capabilities. If you’re paying for premium features but not leveraging them, you could be missing out on opportunities to improve efficiency, security, and collaboration.
Microsoft 365 is packed with powerful tools that go beyond email and document editing. If your team is only using Outlook, Word, and Excel, you might be underutilising key features that could automate tasks, streamline operations, and enhance security.
Microsoft 365 provides powerful tools for sharing information, both internally among team members and externally with clients, suppliers, and stakeholders. However, with increased accessibility comes the need for proper security measures, compliance controls, and efficiency in information flow.
Without the right permissions and policies, businesses risk accidental data leaks, unauthorised access, and non-compliance with industry regulations. The key to success is balancing collaboration with data security—ensuring the right people have access while keeping sensitive information protected.
Microsoft CoPilot is revolutionising the way businesses use artificial intelligence (AI) within Microsoft 365. Designed to work seamlessly across Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, and other applications, CoPilot enhances productivity by automating repetitive tasks, summarising content, and providing AI-driven insights.
Many businesses are not fully utilising AI-powered features, missing out on time-saving automation and smarter decision-making tools. Understanding what Microsoft CoPilot offers and how to implement it effectively can transform workflows and boost efficiency.
With cyber threats evolving rapidly, businesses must prioritise data security, compliance, and risk management. Microsoft 365 offers built-in security features, but many businesses fail to configure them correctly, leaving systems vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and compliance violations.
Understanding the key risks and how to implement Microsoft 365 security features effectively is essential to protect business data, maintain compliance, and prevent costly disruptions.
Microsoft 365 offers powerful tools for productivity, collaboration, and security, but ensuring it’s set up correctly and fully utilised is key to getting the most out of your investment.
Whether you need help with setup, migration, security, or feature optimisation, our experts at Bespoke Computing are here to assist.
With businesses globally now completely contained within, and reliant upon, the digital sphere, the risk of a security breach or cyberattack is very real.
In fact, a 2024 Government survey* found that over 70% of medium to large businesses and 66% of high-income charities in the UK had experienced some form of cyber security breach or attack in the previous 12 months.
Cyber security is the protection of systems, networks, and data from cyber threats such as hacking, phishing, malware, and ransomware attacks.
As businesses become more reliant on digital technology, ensuring strong cyber security measures is no longer optional—it is essential for protecting sensitive information, financial data, and business operations.
Cyber security is essential for protecting your business from cyber threats, data breaches, and financial loss. However, many businesses assume they are secure without fully understanding the risks they face.
Cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics, and without regular security checks and proactive measures, your business could be vulnerable.
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to help businesses protect themselves against common cyber threats.
It provides a clear framework for organisations to follow, ensuring they implement basic but essential security measures to protect against cyberattacks.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed certification that provides businesses with a higher level of cybersecurity assurance than the standard Cyber Essentials certification.
Unlike the self-assessed Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus requires an independent security audit by a certified assessor to verify that your business has robust cyber protections in place.
Discovering that your business has been hacked can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Cyber attacks can cause data breaches, financial losses, reputational damage, and operational downtime.
However, acting quickly and following the right steps can minimise the impact and help your business recover.
In today’s fast-evolving cyber threat landscape, traditional security solutions alone aren’t enough. Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a proactive cybersecurity service specifically designed to detect, investigate, and respond to threats around the clock – before they can disrupt your business.
Cyber threats are evolving, and businesses must stay ahead to protect sensitive data, systems, and customer trust.
Whether you need cybersecurity audits, compliance support, or advanced threat protection, our experts at Bespoke Computing are here to help.

“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and a few minutes of cyber-incident to ruin it.” – Stephane Napo
Taking into account the cost element alone (the average loss for a medium business was almost £11,000), the impact of a cyberattack is potentially catastrophic.
Which means it’s vital for any organisation to identify all of the risks to their business and to ensure that they’re fully prepared for what could happen…
Cyberattacks are primarily aimed at disrupting ‘business as usual’, accessing, destroying, and/or misusing sensitive information, or obtaining money.
All and any of these can have serious consequences for a business of any size or shape, not only from a financial perspective but a reputational one too.
Which is why having effective cyber security measures in place is so important.
Cyber security is essentially the act of protecting ourselves online. It covers any technologies, processes, and practices that are specifically designed to keep your business, its contents and your teams safe from the likes of phishing schemes, identity theft, data breaches, and/or ransom attacks.
The majority of us all acknowledge its significance, but there are numbers of businesses out there who believe that a cyberattack could never happen to them – the ‘biggest cyber risk is complacency, not hackers’ reports the UK Information Commissioner.
Consequently, it can be an aspect of IT Support that’s neglected. Until it’s too late…
In truth, no business is ever 100% secure.
And any IT Support provider that tells you otherwise is lying.
Even those businesses with the very best and most robust security provisions can still be susceptible to a security breach – but they’re of course much less likely.
There are a number of internal processes that you should be conducting to keep your business safe, including: regularly changing passwords, reporting suspicious emails, and investing in high-quality security software.
Working with a partner that truly understands your business and that takes the time to analyse and mitigate all of the specific risks that you are (and could be) facing will ensure that the right tools, tactics, and technologies are implemented to help protect you from any malicious threats and attacks.
“We are really happy with Bespoke helping us with our Cyber Security. We know they are keeping us safe!”
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme that helps you establish the frameworks to appropriately protect your business – no matter its shape, size or sector.
Through this initiative, you can obtain a firmer understanding of what current provisions you have in place, where your vulnerabilities lie (and subsequently what needs addressing) and keep up-to-date with the latest legislation.
It’s conducted via self-assessment and obtaining certification gifts you peace of mind that your existing defences can reduce your risk of a harmful cyberattack or security breach.
To take it one step further, organisations can achieve Cyber Essentials Plus certification which further enhances customer confidence, can lower your insurance premiums, and can help differentiate your business from your competitors.
This takes the form of a technical audit and requires an external assessor to conduct a hands-on and technical analysis of your existing security procedures.
Many of our clients have benefitted from our specialist knowledge in this area which has seen us support them in reviewing their current security measures, making recommendations for all and any enhancements, and providing assistance and guidance throughout the formal assessment(s).
The first step to Cyber Essentials Plus certification is to identify whether it’s actually right for your business.
Generally, those businesses who benefit the most from it are those who require a higher level of security assurance due to the nature of their operations and/or working practices – for example organisations who may handle highly sensitive data, have multiple sites, are in a regulated industry, or who have employees who work remotely.
A gap analysis service can be employed to help you identify your current security measures against the requirements and parameters of Cyber Essentials Plus, and support your decision to undertake the journey to certification.
Any such decision must be led by the organisation’s Board of Directors whose overarching responsibility it is to manage and minimise cyber risk and threats.
Through our partnership with Cyber Smart, a dedicated cyber security monitoring, optimisation, and insurance platform, we support clients through every stage of their Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus journeys.
This includes reporting on and analysing their existing security status – covering everything from multifactor authentication and external sharing capabilities to password protection and data loss prevention policies – and subsequently guiding them through the appropriate certification process.
If you have contingency plans in place, it’s important to implement these as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimise the ongoing risk.
Best practice would be to seek the support of the professionals – but do undertake comprehensive research and ensure that they’re trusted, reputable and reliable in helping you return to business-as-usual with as minimal damage and downtime as possible.
At Bespoke Computing, our team of professionals are well-versed in providing reactive solutions, and pride themselves on getting organisations back up-and-running swiftly and smoothly.
