Free Cyber Security Reviews for SMEs
The Government Is Paying for Your Cybersecurity Audit. Don't Miss Out.
Free Home Office-funded CyberPATH cybersecurity services for eligible UK businesses with fewer than 250 employees.
When was the last time an independent expert reviewed your cybersecurity?
If you're like most small business owners, the honest answer is probablynever.
Not because you don't care about cybersecurity. Because running your business comes first.
The problem is that cyber criminals know this.
They actively target small businesses because they often lack the time, expertise and resources to identify weaknesses before they're exploited.
That's why the Home Office has funded a nationwide initiative to help.
Thousands of Pounds of Cyber Support – Completely Free
The CRC Network is now providing a full range of CyberPATH services free of charge to eligible organisations in England and Wales.
The only requirement is that your business join its local Cyber Resilience Centre.

There are no hidden costs and no obligation to purchase additional services.
Cybercrime is on the increase, if your business is eligible, now is the time to take advantage of it.
