Protecting your organisation from cyber threats is more important than ever. PublicTec provides layered cyber security solutions including endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication, email filtering, security awareness training, and Cyber Essentials certification support. We help charities and public sector bodies meet their obligations and protect sensitive data.
Reliable connectivity is the backbone of any modern organisation. PublicTec designs, deploys, and manages network infrastructure including Wi-Fi, firewalls, VPNs, and broadband solutions tailored to the needs of schools, charities, and offices. We ensure your team stays connected, securely and efficiently.
PublicTec sources and supplies IT hardware for organisations of all sizes — from individual laptops to full classroom or office rollouts. We advise on the right devices for your needs and budget, handle configuration and deployment, and ensure everything is set up and ready to use from day one.
Our experienced consultants work alongside your leadership team to develop IT strategies aligned to your organisational goals. Whether you need a full digital transformation roadmap, a cloud migration plan, or simply an independent review of your current IT setup, PublicTec provides honest, practical guidance with no jargon.
When something goes wrong, you need fast and friendly support from people who understand your organisation. PublicTec's helpdesk team provides remote and on-site IT support for staff across all your locations. We offer flexible support packages to suit your team size and budget, from ad hoc assistance to fully managed helpdesk services.
Strong data protection and information governance are essential for every modern organisation. PublicTec provides expert Data Protection Officer (DPO) services, compliance support, and access to our EduGovern360 platform to help schools, charities, and businesses meet their GDPR obligations with confidence.
Growing a business is about more than winning new customers. As start-ups scale, they are increasingly expected to demonstrate that they have the right processes, controls and security measures in place.
PublicTec works with start-ups and growing businesses to implement recognised standards and certifications that strengthen their organisation, build customer confidence and help unlock new commercial opportunities.
Whether you are preparing for a major tender, looking to work with larger organisations, responding to customer security requirements or simply want to introduce stronger processes as your business grows, we can support you through the journey.
ISO 9001 helps businesses establish consistent, well-managed processes and a culture of continual improvement. We can help you develop a practical Quality Management System that reflects how your business actually operates, rather than creating unnecessary paperwork.
As your business grows, so does the amount of sensitive customer, employee and commercial information you manage. ISO 27001 provides a structured approach to managing information security risks and demonstrates that security is embedded within your organisation.
For technology businesses, professional services firms and organisations handling sensitive information, ISO 27001 can also provide an important competitive advantage when approaching larger customers.
Cyber Essentials provides a recognised baseline for protecting your organisation against common cyber threats. We help start-ups understand the requirements, identify gaps and implement the technical controls needed to prepare for certification.
Cyber Essentials can also increasingly be requested as part of procurement exercises and customer security assessments.
Cyber Essentials Plus builds on Cyber Essentials by independently testing that the required technical controls are operating effectively. We can help businesses prepare for the assessment, remediate technical gaps and ensure their systems and devices are ready for testing.
For organisations looking to demonstrate a higher level of cyber assurance to customers, investors and supply-chain partners, Cyber Essentials Plus provides additional independent verification.
Our approach is designed specifically for growing organisations. We don't believe a start-up needs enterprise-level bureaucracy. Instead, we help you introduce the right governance, processes and controls at the right stage of your growth.
This means creating systems that are:
Practical — designed around how your business actually operates.
Scalable — capable of growing with your organisation.
Commercially focused — helping you meet customer, tender and procurement requirements.
Proportionate — avoiding unnecessary policies, processes and administration.
We can support your organisation from its first security certification through to developing a complete governance and compliance framework.
Alongside certification, we can also support your wider technology and governance requirements, including cyber security, Microsoft 365, data protection, IT strategy, policies and ongoing compliance.
Whether you are responding to your first customer security questionnaire, preparing for a tender or building the foundations for your next stage of growth, PublicTec can help you understand which standards are appropriate and create a clear route towards achieving them.
