Trust is probably the most underrated factor in IT.

Not pricing. Not features. Not even security. Trust.

When a business hands over access to their systems, their data, their day-to-day operations — they're taking a real leap of faith. A lot of IT providers don't fully appreciate how significant that is.

For me, two things actually build that trust over time.

Proactivity. Not waiting for things to go wrong. Spotting the issue before the client even knows it exists and sorting it. Anyone can respond to a problem — the real value is in the ones you prevent. If your IT provider is always reactive, it's worth asking yourself why. 🤔

And honesty. Telling the truth even when it's not what someone wants to hear. Even when it costs you a sale. Clients know the difference between being helped and being sold to — that instinct is usually right.

The IT industry doesn't always have the best reputation on either of those fronts, to be honest. That's something we should all be thinking about.

Trust isn't a marketing message. It's built quietly, through hundreds of small interactions, consistently, over time. There's no shortcut to it.

What do you think builds — or breaks — trust with an IT provider? 👇

The long road home... It's strange spending time in London again after so many years, I'd say it could have been 25 years since I spent any time here - from that to quarterly visits! Just finished our quarterly meet-up with our Peer group where we've been designing new processes to level up the cyber-security protection and technology solutions for our business customers. Very rewarding few days and some exciting outcomes. Now to start implementing!

Thanks to all the charities and support services like this who go above and beyond to selflessly help others in need.

**🔒 Why Limiting Admin Rights Matters More Than You Think 🔑**

Had an interesting chat with an IT Manager friend recently. He leads security for a large organisation handling sensitive data every day, and he mentioned an issue I see all too often: elevated privileges for regular users. 🚩

Here’s the scenario: They use legacy software that needs frequent updates—updates requiring Admin rights. The CEO insisted a user be given Admin access to handle these updates themselves. My friend refused (rightly so), citing security risks, which led to frustration and the perception that IT was just “being difficult.” 😠

But here’s the real issue: a lack of awareness about the risks. Most users aren’t IT experts. If regular users get Admin rights, they can do anything—including things they never intended, which can have serious consequences. ⚠️

For example: Imagine a user with Admin rights who needs a tool to convert a PDF to Word. Wanting to avoid approval delays and costs, they download a free tool online. Because they have Admin rights, they can install it—along with hidden adware or even malware. Sometimes, there aren’t even warning checkboxes. Next thing you know, ransomware pops up. 💥 One “convenient” decision can compromise an entire organisation.

Protecting Admin privileges can feel inconvenient, but convenience is the enemy of security. Every. Single. Time. 🚫

The best safeguard? Don’t let users have unchecked Admin access. Make sure requests go through proper approval channels where they can be vetted. There are excellent software solutions to help manage privileged access without sacrificing productivity. 🛡️

**Bottom line:** There’s no excuse for compromising your organisation’s security in the name of convenience. It’s a risk that can—and often does—end in disaster.

Let’s make security a priority, not an afterthought. 👏

One of the most cost effective security investments any business can make at the moment is to encrypt the hard drives in their devices.

✅ It's easy to do.
✅ It's cheap, or even free!
✅ It's protects your data even if a device is lost or stolen.

Why would you want to encrypt the drives?

If someone gets hold of one of your devices, say a laptop, they don't even need your Windows password to access everything on that device. They'll just take out the hard drive and connect it to another laptop or PC, giving them immediate access to all the data on that device! 😮

Nowadays, ransom is a very common threat. Once they have your data, they'll scour through it to find anything sensitive - and despite what you think, you do have sensitive data on there - looking for ways to extort money as a result.

Don't give them the chance. There are many ways to do it, some are free and any that have a cost are usually very economical.

It's literally a no-brainer. If you haven't already done this, make it your next move. It's low-hanging fruit in terms of decreasing your Cyber risk. You won't regret it!
