The resilience session
Ninety minutes, in your business, with the seven checks filled in before I leave.
Most firms already know the advice. What they don't have is the time to do it, and the person who would do it is the one serving customers. This is that ninety minutes, out of the way, with the page finished at the end.
What happens
I come to you, or we do it on a call. We work through the seven checks on the one-page guide, on your kit, and write down what is actually true for your business. If your card machine stops tomorrow morning, the answers are on one sheet of paper instead of in someone's head.
What you get
- The seven checks completed for your firm, on one page.
- One backup restore tested, with you doing the restore, so you know it works rather than hoping it would.
- A written list of who to ring, what pauses, and what customers are told.
- The money documents, meaning your customer list, open invoices, key contracts and supplier contacts, copied onto a device you control.
- A note of what we could not fix in the session, so it does not get lost.
Who this is for
Owner-run firms of five to fifty people in the North East. Shops, trades, small professional practices, anyone whose takings stop the moment the till or the email does.
Who this is not for
- Firms that already have a business continuity function.
- Anyone after a security audit or a penetration test. This is continuity, not a review of your defences.
- Firms that want a long report. You get one page, and that is the point.
Price
£450 for the ninety minutes, payable after the session. No subscription and no retainer. On-site (North East) or remote.

Common questions
Is this the same as the free guide? The guide is free and stays free. This is me doing it with you.
Do you need access to our systems? Only what you choose to show me. I don't take copies of your data away, apart from the money documents you ask me to put on your own device.
What if we have no backups at all? Then that is the first thing we write down, and often the first thing you fix.
Is this anything to do with insurance? Not directly. I do not sell insurance and I am not a broker. But the checks here are close to the ones an insurer asks about when a firm claims. The UK's cyber security centre is clear that if you tell an insurer a control is in place when it is not, the insurer may not be obliged to pay. So a backup you have actually restored, and two-factor on the accounts that matter, are worth doing before anyone needs to claim rather than after.
