Data Security Awareness training and Cyber Resilience
Helping businesses in Ireland understand and fix their IT cybersecurity and data vulnerabilities. Awareness training for Staff and business owners— without jargon, without enterprise pricing. Simple packages and pricing for companies overwhelmed and confused about how to reduce their IT Risk
Making your cyber defenses more resilient in an evolving world of threats
It only takes one Click
A staff member opens an email that looks like it's from a supplier. A laptop gets stolen from a parked car. A password gets reused one too many times. That's all it takes for a small business to lose its customer data, its bank accounts, or its ability to trade for days at a time. New research shows cyberattacks are costing Irish SMEs up to €3.4 billion every year — and most owners only find out how exposed they were after it's already happened
The good news? You don't need a Dublin-sized budget or an in-house IT team to fix this. You just need someone who'll sit down with you, explain what's actually at risk in plain English, and help you close the gaps that matter — without the scare tactics or the jargon.
That's what I do. I'm a cyber security and data protection consultant working with small and medium businesses across Waterford Leinster. With over 2 decade's in IT, ISC2-certified, and hands-on experience internal auditing ISO 27001, I help you understand your risk, meet your obligations, and get on with running your business — knowing it's better protected than it was yesterday.

Peace of Mind
The Risks You Know Are the Risks You Control
Once you understand where you're exposed, you can plan, budget, and grow with confidence — instead of reacting when something goes wrong. That peace of mind compounds over time.
Plans, Not Panic
When something goes wrong, the businesses that recover fastest are the ones who already knew what to do. We help you put a simple response plan in place now, so a bad day stays a bad day — not a bad year.
One Less Thing to Worry About
GDPR, data protection, industry expectations — it's a lot to keep on top of while running a business. We help you understand exactly what applies to you and get it sorted, so it's one less thing on your plate.
IT On Your Schedule
Support when you need it, not a subscription you don't. Skip the long-term contract — book a technician for a specific day and time to tackle whatever's going wrong. Simple hourly or daily rates, no surprises. Ideal for businesses without an IT manager on staff.
