The person who scopes your IT is the person who runs it

Twenty years where it had to hold

The person who looks after your systems has spent twenty years securing systems for hospitals, government and national infrastructure. He is also the person who answers when you ring. No account managers, no hand-offs, no juniors learning on your network.

Run to recognised standards

We work to the NCSC's frameworks and run to Cyber Essentials standards, the same standards your insurer and your biggest clients recognise. So the next time a questionnaire lands, you have an answer written down.

Secured in 7 days. Or it's on us.

Your essentials locked down within a week of giving us access, or that month is on us. In writing, with the clock paused only when we are waiting on you.

Easy to reach. Easy to leave.

We answer within 2 working hours, and we say so in writing. And after your first year, you are on rolling 30-day notice. No exit fees, and if you ever leave, your data is handed over and destroyed on schedule. In writing.

You Need Security-First IT Support If...

You're worried about ransomware

Professional services firms are prime targets. One click on a phishing email and your client data is encrypted, your reputation is damaged, and your PI insurance premium triples.

Compliance pressure is mounting

Clients demanding Cyber Essentials. Insurers requiring security documentation. Regulators asking questions. Your current IT provider can't help you answer them.

Your IT support is reactive, not proactive

They fix things when they break. But nobody's monitoring threats, testing backups, or planning ahead. You're one incident away from disaster.

Downtime during deadlines costs you money

Tax season. Completion day. Regulatory filing. When systems fail at critical moments, you lose revenue, miss deadlines, and damage client relationships.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Most professional services firms we talk to have been let down by generic IT providers who don't understand your industry.

How We Help

1

Security-First, Not Security-Later

We don't bolt security on after the fact. Every system we manage has enterprise-grade protection from day one: endpoint detection, email security, credential exposure monitoring, tested backups.

2

Industry-Specific Expertise

We know your compliance requirements (SRA, FCA, KCSIE), your software (Sage, LEAP, Bullhorn), and your peak periods (tax season, completion days, term time). We've built our service around how professional services firms actually work.

3

Co-Managed Flexibility

Already have IT support you're happy with? Keep them. We work alongside as your security specialist layer. Or we can handle everything - your choice. No forced rip-and-replace.

4

Protected in 7 Business Days

Not months of "discovery" and "planning". We deploy core protection within 7 business days. You're secured fast, then we optimise from there.

Local to the North West. Based on the Wirral.

We work from Bromborough on the Wirral, with businesses across Liverpool, Wirral, Birkenhead, Chester, Warrington, Wallasey, Bromborough, Ellesmere Port and the wider North West. Remote and on-site where it helps, and always the same senior engineer.

The Person Who Does the Work Is the Person You Talk To

Eric Lonsdale, founder of HiltDigital
"I have spent twenty-plus years keeping IT solid and secure for organisations where a bad day genuinely costs. HiltDigital is that same standard, without the bloat, for businesses that deserve it done properly. No jargon, no products I am trying to sell you, no account managers in the way. You deal with me, and I take it seriously."

Experience includes IT and security for the NHS, National Nuclear Laboratory and major financial institutions.

Eric Lonsdale · Founder & Chief Architect, HiltDigital

Worried the switch itself will be painful?

That is the most common reason firms stay with a provider they no longer trust. Reviews of UK IT providers are full of the same story: chasing for updates, promised call-backs that never come, being passed from person to person. And still people stay, because moving feels riskier than putting up with it.

So we take the risk out of the move. Nothing for your team to prepare. No downtime day. We handle the handover with your current provider, including the awkward conversation. Most clients notice the switch happened because things went quiet, not because anything broke.

  • Nothing to prepare, nothing to install
  • No downtime day for your team
  • We deal with your old provider directly
  • Secured in 7 days of getting access, or that month is on us
  • Rolling 30-day notice after your first year and no exit fees, so leaving us is written down too

Find out where you stand. Then decide.

The Free Cyber Health Check is the same review we run at the start of a paid engagement: your exposure, your Microsoft 365 security, whether your backups would actually restore, and a written fix list you keep. Whatever you decide to do next, you will know exactly where you stand by this time next week.

You will talk to the engineer, not a salesperson.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: If your team uses email, stores data, or relies on software to do their job, then you need IT that works. Small businesses are more vulnerable to issues because they have fewer internal resources to handle them. We scale our support to fit your size, and help you stay protected as you grow.

A: Not anymore. Managed IT used to be enterprise-only, but today’s threats don’t discriminate by company size. We bring enterprise-grade security and support to SMBs at a price that makes sense for your business.

A: That’s great! We offer co-managed support, which means we work alongside your existing tech person or incumbent provider. We add security, automation, and surge capacity without taking control away from you. Many of our clients keep their internal IT and use us to fill the gaps.

A: Reactive support (calling when things break) is expensive and disruptive. You’re paying emergency rates, losing productivity, and dealing with unnecessary downtime. Proactive managed IT prevents most issues before they happen, keeps your systems updated and secure, and gives you predictable monthly costs instead of surprise bills.

A: That’s actually the best time to start. Proactive management keeps you in that good state and prevents small issues from becoming big problems. Plus, the basics (MFA, backups, patching, security) protect you from threats you can’t see coming, like ransomware or data breaches.

A: The opposite. We reduce complexity by managing your tech stack, handling vendor relationships, and keeping everything documented and organised. You get one team, one bill, and one dashboard, instead of juggling multiple vendors and scrambling when something breaks.

A: Not at all. We speak plain English, not jargon. Our job is to make tech simple and stress-free for you. If you have questions, we answer them clearly without making you feel dumb. That’s part of the service.

A: No. You can start with the core managed service and add to it as you need. We’re here to support your business as it grows, not lock you into things you don’t need yet.

No. As a Microsoft Partner we work directly in your own tenancy and on your own subscriptions, so your licensing stays in your name and you pay Microsoft directly with no markup from us. You get the same expertise on migrations and ongoing management, without us sitting between you and your bill.

A: We’re flexible. As your business grows or changes, we scale with you. Need to add users? Open a new location? Switch software? We help you plan, budget, and implement without disruption.

A: You get a reply the same business day, Monday to Friday, and urgent issues jump the queue because there is no queue. You deal with the same senior engineer throughout, so nobody has to be brought up to speed and nothing gets ghosted mid-ticket.

A: Everything you need to stay secure and productive: Continuous monitoring, patching, endpoint protection (EDR), email security, backup monitoring, Microsoft 365 management, helpdesk support and monthly scorecards, plus credential exposure monitoring and Microsoft 365 backups.

We make it smooth. We collect credentials securely, document your setup, coordinate with your current provider, and ensure zero downtime during the transition. The process is documented and rehearsed, so nothing depends on memory.

A: We agree a 12-month initial term, then it runs quarterly.

No surprise bills, no hidden fees

Fair Terms:
→ Fixed pricing for your contract term
→ After 12 months: continue quarterly with 30-day notice
→ No data hostage, no equipment buyouts

Absolutely. Our controls and reporting are designed to align with compliance requirements. We’ll help you meet the technical requirements and provide documentation for audits.

A: Of course. Book a 30-minute call. We’ll look at where you are against the mandate you’re working to, flag the gaps, and answer your questions honestly. No pitch at the end, just straight advice.
