About

Plain-English cyber security for the businesses that keep Britain running.

Brightlock Cyber helps UK small businesses and charities get ready for Cyber Essentials and UK GDPR without jargon, scare stories or a big consultancy bill.

Why we started

Most cyber attacks on small businesses aren't clever. They're stolen passwords, missing updates and convincing fake emails. The fixes are usually simple and often free, but the guidance is written for IT departments, and consultants are priced for big companies.

We built Brightlock Cyber to close that gap: a clear score, a step-by-step plan for the devices and apps you actually use, and the paperwork done for you, at a price a cleaning company, salon or local trades firm can justify.
