Sound familiar?

Growing businesses outgrow informal IT

Between 15 and 75 people, technology becomes too important to run on goodwill — but a full internal team isn't yet justified.

IT depends on one person

Someone with another day job is holding it together. When they're away, nothing moves.

Security questions are getting harder

Clients, insurers and auditors want evidence of controls you can't easily produce.

Microsoft 365 was set up once and left

MFA, device compliance and backup were never designed — just switched on, or not at all.

No technology plan

Spend is reactive, renewals arrive unexpectedly and there's no roadmap the leadership team owns.

Three packages

Standardised, so they're dependable

We don't do bespoke support arrangements. Every client gets a proven package with published pricing — most choose Barkaday Secure.

Security-led

24×7 security monitoring, without running your own SOC

Barkaday Secure and Complete include managed detection and response from Huntress, whose analysts watch your endpoints and Microsoft 365 identities around the clock and respond to genuine threats. We correlate that with your devices, backup and user context so incidents are handled quickly and calmly.

How our security works

Managed EDR

Endpoint detection and response with 24×7 human-led investigation.

Identity protection

Monitoring for suspicious sign-ins, mailbox rules and session theft.

Microsoft 365 backup

Independent copies of mail, OneDrive and SharePoint data.

People-focused

Awareness training and phishing simulations through RiskBuddy.

RiskBuddy by Barkaday

  • Security-awareness training and phishing simulations
  • Dark-web and compromised credential monitoring
  • External attack-surface monitoring
  • Microsoft 365 posture and Secure Score tracking
  • Policies and staff acknowledgement
  • Cyber Essentials readiness reporting

Our security platform

RiskBuddy makes security visible
