But one of the most useful apps included in many licences is often completely overlooked: Microsoft Forms.

From customer feedback and event registrations to IT support requests and employee surveys, Forms can help reduce admin, improve data collection and streamline processes without the need for additional software.
If you're still gathering information through email, it might be time to look at a simpler approach.

🚨 Big changes are coming to Cyber Essentials in April 2026 – is your business ready?

The latest update to the UK’s government-backed cyber security scheme is one of the most significant in years. And it’s not just a tweak… it’s a tightening of standards that could catch many organisations out.

🔐 What’s changing?
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is now mandatory across all cloud services
• Miss critical security updates? You could automatically fail
• Cloud systems are fully in scope
• Stricter assessment criteria and less room for interpretation

These updates are designed to reflect how modern businesses actually operate, with cloud, remote work, and evolving threats.

💡 The takeaway: Cyber Essentials is no longer just a checkbox exercise. It’s about proving real, consistent security practices across your entire environment.

If you rely on Cyber Essentials for compliance, contracts, or peace of mind, now is the time to prepare.
