Managed cyber security services for startups — clear pricing, no jargon.

Hybrid Windows-and-Mac UK startups run Intune for the Windows fleet, Kandji or Jamf for the Mac fleet, both joined to Entra ID or Cloud Identity, both inventoried in the HRIS (HiBob, Lattice, Personio) and both subject to the same secure-configuration baseline. Cloudswitched supports the dual-OS reality including GitHub Codespaces for non-Mac engineers, Vercel CLI on both stacks and the Linear ticket inflow regardless of OS. Down-round and bridge-round IT support for the UK founder extending runway with a SAFE, ASA or convertible top-up means cap-table updates, Companies House filings and EMI-scheme valuation refresh. Cloudswitched supports the IT estate so the bridge round does not surface inconsistencies that delay the next priced round. Founder-CEO doing their own IT support is the reality at pre-seed. Cloudswitched supports the founder one helpdesk-ticket at a time: the laptop that dies on a Tuesday, the M365 tenant misconfigured during a frantic Sunday setup, the Stripe account locked out by the failed-MFA-attempt, the GitHub leaked-secret event and the Google Workspace alias the founder needs by the end of the day.

How it works for Startups businesses

A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.

Vendor-Neutral Advice

Technology alone is not enough. We train your people to recognise phishing, social engineering and other human-targeted attacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We support the HMRC Advance Assurance application, SEIS / EIS share issuance, SEIS3 / EIS3 certificate generation via the HMRC ERS portal, three-year holding-period tracking and the cap-table reflection in Carta, Capdesk or Vestd workflow for UK seed and pre-seed founders. The legal documents come from your solicitor; we engineer the IT estate so the cap table, data room and Companies House stay aligned.

We support Microsoft 365 Business Standard or Premium with Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID conditional access, Intune compliance baseline, Defender for Business, Purview retention, sensitivity labels and M365 cloud backup so the unsupported Microsoft restore-after-30-days problem does not bite.
