Frequently asked questions
How long does a security check take?
Typically 1–2 hours for a home setup, 2–4 hours for a small business, depending on the number of devices and issues found.
Will you need my passwords?
We’ll guide you through password changes and MFA setup, but you stay in control. We never store or take your passwords.
Can you do this remotely?
Yes, for many checks. Remote sessions work well for software and account reviews, though on-site is better for router and network tasks.
Do you provide ongoing security monitoring?
We offer periodic re-checks and can recommend monitoring tools. For businesses needing continuous support, see our Business IT Support service.
What if you find malware or a breach?
We’ll isolate the affected device, remove threats, advise on password resets, and help you assess any data exposure. Serious breaches may require specialist forensics, which we can arrange.
