OneDrive or SharePoint? If you've ever wondered which one you should be using — or why your team's files end up scattered across desktops and inboxes — you're not alone.

We've put together a plain-English guide explaining how these two Microsoft 365 tools fit together, where your files actually live, and the simple habits that keep your business data safe, organised and accessible to the right people.

It's a five-minute read that could save you a lot of headaches later.

Is your business still using Windows 10 in 2026? ⏰

It's a question worth asking — because since October 2025, Windows 10 has no longer been receiving security updates. That means every PC still running it is a potential way in for cyber criminals, and a growing liability for your business.

It's not just about viruses, either. Unsupported systems can put you on the wrong side of data protection rules, cause problems with cyber insurance, and make everyday work harder as software and hardware move on without you.

The longer it's left, the bigger the risk — but sorting it is simpler than you might think.

Our latest article explains exactly what Windows 10's end of support means for your business in 2026, and what you can do about it:

🔒 Ransomware: could your business afford to lose everything?

Ransomware doesn't just hit big corporations. It locks away your files, your customer data, and your ability to trade — and it can strike anyone, at any time.

Our latest infographic breaks it down in plain English:

✅ What ransomware actually is
✅ How an attack starts (it's often just one click)
✅ Who's behind these attacks — and who they're targeting
✅ How attackers pick their victims
✅ Simple steps you and your team can take to stay safe
✅ How TST MSP protects your business around the clock

The best time to check your security posture is before an attack, not after. Take a look at the infographic, share it with your team, and if you'd like help making sure your business is protected, we're here for you.

Entra ID Backup Now Protecting a Leading Warrington Legal Firm

Great news from the TST team! We've just completed the deployment of Entra ID backup and recovery solutions for a prominent legal firm based right here in Warrington. It's another important step forward in helping organisations safeguard their identity infrastructure.

Why This Matters

Your Microsoft Entra ID contains everything: user accounts, security groups, access policies and application permissions. Yet many organisations don't realise that Entra ID doesn't have built-in backup and recovery features. A ransomware attack, accidental deletion or misconfiguration could lock you out of your entire system with no way to restore it.

For professional services firms, where client trust and data security are everything, this isn't a risk worth taking.

What We've Done

Our backup solution means this legal firm can now recover users, groups and policies quickly if something goes wrong. Instead of spending days trying to reconstruct their identity environment manually, they can restore to a known-good state in minutes.

The Bottom Line

If you're running your business on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, you need a backup strategy in place. Don't wait until disaster strikes.

If you'd like to discuss how we can protect your organisation's identity infrastructure, get in touch. We're here to help.

Ransomware: it only takes one click.

One wrong click on a fake link or email attachment is all it takes for criminals to lock your files and demand a ransom to give them back.

The good news? It's completely preventable.

At TST, we help businesses stay protected with:

Ransomware protection that stops threats before they spread
Immutable backups — meaning even if the worst happens, your data can't be encrypted or held to ransom by attackers
A recent backup is your best defence against ransomware. Don't wait until it's too late.

Get in touch with our team today to find out how we can protect your business.

Master Copilot in One Week!
We have put together a practical one-week guide for anyone who wants to get real value from Microsoft Copilot — not just try it once and forget it.

The infographic walks through 10 steps: choosing the right Copilot, organising your source material, building two core prompts, and making it part of your daily workflow in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams.

It is designed for people who already use 365 and want to work faster — not for AI enthusiasts. If you have been meaning to get started, this is a good place to begin.

Copilot works best when you treat it like a collaborator, not a search box. The guide shows you how to structure your input so the output is actually useful — from drafting to summarising to automating the handoff.

Download the full infographic below, save it, and work through one step a day. By next Friday you will have a repeatable process you can share with your team.

🚨 Is Shadow AI Lurking in Your Organisation?
Have you heard of Shadow AI? It's one of the biggest hidden risks in today's workplace. 👀

Shadow AI happens when employees use unauthorised AI tools and systems that IT departments don't know about. While it seems convenient, it creates serious problems:

❌ Security breaches – Sensitive data shared with unvetted platforms
❌ Compliance violations – Regulatory requirements ignored
❌ Loss of control – No oversight of AI decisions affecting your business
❌ Operational chaos – Inconsistent, unreliable results

The scary part? It's happening right now in companies worldwide—and most don't even realise it!

💡 The solution: Establish clear AI policies, educate your team, and create approved alternatives that are both secure AND user-friendly.

Watch our video to learn more about the dangers of Shadow AI and how to protect your organization.
