West Sussex Business Awards 2025 Security Solution Specialists of the Year 2025

Your IT support keeps the business running. That isn't the same as keeping it safe.

The people attacking your business go to work in the morning. They have teams, tooling, budgets and targets. Some of them have HR departments.

There's nothing wrong with your IT provider. Fixing laptops, managing accounts and keeping email working is a full-time job, and most do it well.

But security is a different discipline. It needs someone watching around the clock, someone who knows what a compromised login looks like at 3am, and someone whose job is to ask what happens when — not if — something gets through.

Most businesses between 10 and 250 staff sit in an awkward gap. Too big to rely on antivirus and hope. Too small to build a security function of their own — a security manager costs £60,000 to £75,000 before employer national insurance and pension, and the tools they'd need to do the job add roughly £15,000 a year on top of that.

So the work quietly doesn't get done, and nobody notices until it matters.

That gap is exactly what QuantumCare Business Pro fills.

Built for a certain kind of business

You’re the right fit if

  • You have 10 to 250 employees
  • Turnover is £1M or more
  • You already have IT support, in-house or outsourced
  • You’d rather have a security partner than a security purchase
  • You’re prepared to act on what we find

You’re probably not the right fit if

  • You’re looking for a one-off audit or a certificate to satisfy an insurer
  • You want the cheapest option on the table
  • You need on-site presence more than once in a while — we work remote-first
  • You or your IT provider aren’t open to acting on our recommendations

Not sure how your IT provider would take it? Most are relieved. Security is the part of the job they are least equipped for and most exposed on — we work alongside them, not instead of them.

What’s included

QuantumCare Business Pro has two halves. One protects the business. One protects each person in it.

The security programme

Fixed each month, whatever your size
vCISO access
On-call security leadership. The person you ring when something feels wrong, and the person who tells you what to fix first.
Quarterly business reviews
A sit-down on your risk position, in plain English. What changed, what we did, what’s next.
Information security policy pack
Ready-made policies tailored to your business, not a template with your name swapped in.
Cyber Essentials & insurance readiness
Support getting accredited and getting through the insurer’s questionnaire without guessing.
Email domain protection
Full DMARC enforcement, so criminals can’t send email that looks like it came from you.
External vulnerability assessment
We test your internet-facing systems the way an attacker would.
Network & attack surface scanning
Continuous checks on what’s visible from outside — exposed ports, portals, forgotten subdomains.
Firewall & network device protection
Firewalls, switches and access points backed up and kept on secure firmware.
Proactive hardening
When we find a weak setting on a computer, your network or your cloud services, we fix it — not send you a report telling you to.
A direct line
Phone and email straight to the team. No ticket queue for a security question.

Per Microsoft 365 account

Scales with your headcount
24/7 endpoint protection
Human-led threat detection on every computer, monitored around the clock.
Identity protection
Watches your logins for compromise, and finds the weak spots in how accounts are set up.
Security monitoring
Centralised monitoring across your systems, so signals get joined up instead of missed.
Patch management
Software and security updates applied automatically, and reported on.
Cloud backup & recovery
Your Microsoft 365 data backed up, because Microsoft doesn’t do that for you.
Web & DNS filtering
Malicious and unsafe websites blocked before anyone lands on them.
Continuous security awareness training
Annual training plus year-round phishing simulations, so it sticks.
Continuous vulnerability scanning
Every device checked around the clock for weak settings, missing updates and known vulnerabilities.

How it works

Four steps from first conversation to ongoing protection. No long procurement, no surprise costs.

1

Consultation

A conversation, not a pitch. We work out whether you’re a fit, and you work out whether we are.

2

Assessment

We look at what you have, what’s exposed and what’s missing. You get the findings whether or not you go ahead.

3

Onboarding

We deploy, configure and harden — working alongside your existing IT support, not around them.

4

Ongoing

Monitoring, monthly reporting in plain English, quarterly reviews, and a direct line whenever you need it.

The findings are yours either way. Proactive security isn’t optional for a business your size — the only real question is who provides it. Whatever you decide after the assessment, you’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand.

QuantumCare

Business Pro

from £710 per month

Complete cyber security and security leadership for your business. Set your Microsoft 365 account count to see your price.

Capped at 20 clients — and never onboarded alongside a direct competitor.

Count every licensed account — staff email accounts and administrator accounts alike. It is the number of licences you pay Microsoft for. Every account gets round-the-clock threat monitoring, backup and security training.

We take every domain you send from to full DMARC enforcement, so criminals cannot send email that looks like it came from you. Your first domain is included — each additional domain adds £30 per month.

Your rate drops to £34 per account and is frozen for the full term. Untick it for rolling monthly at £36 — leave any time with 30 days’ notice. Either way you pay monthly, with nothing upfront.

Your monthly price

£710/month

  • Security programme vCISO, governance and your whole-business protection £370.00
  • 10 Microsoft 365 accounts × £34.00 Protection, monitoring and backup for every user £340.00
  • 1 email domain — included DMARC protection against spoofing and impersonation £0.00

Including the security programme, that’s £71.00 per account, per month.

You save £20.00 a month against the rolling rate — £240.00 over the year.

All prices exclude VAT. Minimum 10 accounts.

Client exclusivity

We’d rather be excellent for twenty businesses
than adequate for two hundred

Security only works when someone knows your business well enough to spot what’s out of place — and has the capacity to act the moment something does. Neither of those scales to hundreds of clients, and we won’t pretend otherwise.

Capped at twenty

We stop taking on new QuantumCare Business Pro clients at twenty. No exceptions, and no quietly stretching the number.

We can move fast

When something needs doing, you are not queued behind two hundred other businesses. A small book means short decisions and same-day action.

Never beside a competitor

If we already protect a business that competes directly with yours, we’ll turn you down — and tell you why. You should never wonder whose side we’re on.

You get the same people

A small book means you deal with the team who know your systems and your business — not whoever happens to pick up the ticket.

Who you'll be working with

James Batt

Founder, Systems Secure Ltd

Systems Secure has been trading since 2010. In that time the thing that has changed most is not the threats — it is how small a business now has to be before it is worth attacking.

QuantumCare is how I do this work now. A small number of clients, a complete programme rather than a shopping list of products, and one person who knows your business well enough to be useful at short notice.

When you ring, you get me.

Qualifications

What the letters actually mean, since nobody explains them.

CISSP

Certified Information Systems Security Professional

The senior, internationally recognised security qualification. Requires years of documented experience before you can even sit it.

C|CISO

Certified Chief Information Security Officer

Focused on running a security programme — governance, risk and reporting to a board, rather than configuring the technology.

Certified Ethical Hacker

Formally trained in the techniques attackers use. It is difficult to defend against methods you have never seen from the other side.

NCSP

Certified NIST Cybersecurity Professional — Practitioner

STILL NOT SURE?

Questions you're probably asking

The five that come up on almost every call, answered here so you don’t have to book one to find out.

"We already have IT Support."

Good — keep them. QuantumCare works alongside your IT provider, not instead of them. They keep the business running; we keep it secure.

Most IT providers are glad of the help. Security is the part of their job they are least equipped for and most exposed on.

"We've never had a breach."

Neither had any of our clients, until the ones who did. Businesses that get hit aren’t targeted for being interesting — they’re targeted for being reachable.

The question isn’t whether you’ve been unlucky yet. It’s what happens the first time you are.

"This looks expensive."

Compared to antivirus, it is. Compared to building it yourself, it isn’t close.

To run this properly in-house you’d need a security manager — £60,000 to £75,000 a year, before employer national insurance and pension. Then the tooling: endpoint detection, identity protection, security monitoring, cloud backup, DNS filtering, awareness training, vulnerability scanning and email authentication. For a business of around seventy people, that’s roughly £15,000 a year.

Call it £90,000 all in, for one person who takes holidays and sleeps.

The same business on QuantumCare Business Pro pays around a third of that, with a team behind it and monitoring that doesn’t stop at 5pm. And you can see your exact figure on this page before you ever speak to us.

"We're too small to be a target."

Nobody chose you. Attacks are automated, run at scale, by organisations measuring their return on investment.

Smaller businesses get hit precisely because they’re reachable and under-defended. You’re not too small to be a target — you’re the right size to be an easy one.

"What if it doesn't work out?"

Then you leave. Rolling monthly means 30 days’ notice and no penalty.

The 12-month option exists because some clients want a frozen price — not because we need to trap anyone.

What this actually changes

Beyond not being hacked, here is what a security programme buys a business of your size.

You win work you’d otherwise lose

Larger clients and public sector buyers now send a security questionnaire before they will sign anything. Cyber Essentials, multi-factor authentication everywhere, DMARC at enforcement — you answer yes with evidence, instead of stalling for three weeks.

Insurance renewal stops being a guess

What you declare on the form matches what is actually running. That means cover you can rely on, rather than discovering at claim time that something you ticked two years ago was never in place.

Disruption gets smaller

Fewer incidents, caught earlier, contained faster. The difference between losing an afternoon and losing a fortnight is almost always how quickly somebody noticed.

You can prove it

One page each month: what was found, what was fixed, what is next. Something you can put in front of a board, a client or an auditor without translating it first.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does QuantumCare Business Pro cost?

Pricing is a fixed monthly fee of £370 for the security programme, plus a per-account fee for every licensed Microsoft 365 account. The per-account fee is £36 on rolling monthly, or £34 on a 12-month agreement.

The minimum is ten accounts, so the entry price is £710 per month. Your first email domain is included; each additional domain is £30 per month. All prices exclude VAT.

Use the calculator further up this page to see your exact figure before you speak to anyone.

Do you guarantee we won’t ever be hacked?

No. Nobody credible can promise that — and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we do commit to is fast action and clear evidence: quick detection, rapid containment, tested recovery, and a one-page update each month you can put straight in front of your board. The goal is simple — fewer incidents, smaller impact, faster recovery — with proof you can show your insurer, your clients and your board.

Who will we actually be dealing with?

James Batt. Every conversation, every quarterly review, every time you pick up the phone. Not an account manager, not a rota, and not somebody who needs your setup explained to them again.

That is the whole reason the client list is capped at twenty. Past that number the promise stops being true, so we stop taking clients on.

Is QuantumCare just one Person?

The advice, the reviews and the relationship are one person, deliberately. That is what buys you someone who knows your systems rather than someone reading a ticket.

The protection behind it is not one person. Monitoring, detection and containment run around the clock through a dedicated security operations centre, on enterprise security tooling. None of that waits for anyone here to be at a desk.

You get a named, accountable person sitting on top of infrastructure that never sleeps.

What happens if James is away or unwell?

Your protection carries on exactly as normal. Monitoring, detection, isolation and containment are handled by the security operations centre, twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year. A compromised machine gets shut off at 3am on a bank holiday without anyone here being involved.

I take planned leave a few times a year and you’ll know well ahead. Routine advisory questions get answered within two working days rather than the same day. Anything security-critical reaches me wherever I am.

It is a fair question to ask of any small provider, and you should ask it of anyone you are considering.

Why is QuantumCare capped at twenty clients?

Security only works when someone knows your business well enough to spot what is out of place, and has the capacity to act the moment something does. Neither of those scales to hundreds of clients.

We stop taking on new Business Pro clients at twenty, and we will not onboard a business alongside a direct competitor. If we're full, we'll tell you on the first call.

Would you take on one of our competitors?

No — and that protection runs both ways. If you join, we will not onboard a business that competes directly with you for as long as you are a client. If one of your competitors is already with us, we'll tell you on the first call and turn you down, rather than take your money and hope you never find out.

By direct competitor we mean a business selling the same thing to the same kind of customer in the same market — not simply another firm in your industry. Where it is borderline, we'll talk it through with you rather than decide behind closed doors.

This matters because security work means seeing how your business actually runs — your systems, your data, your weak points. You should never have to wonder whether the person who knows all that also knows your rival's.

Do you replace our IT provider?

No. We work alongside them. If you'd rather we handled IT support too, ask — but it isn't part of QuantumCare.

Do we still need cyber insurance?

Yes. QuantumCare isn't insurance and doesn't replace it — the two do different jobs. Insurance pays out after something goes wrong; QuantumCare is there to stop it going wrong in the first place. What it does do is help you meet what your insurer asks for: multi-factor authentication, endpoint protection, patching, backups, staff training and email authentication are now standard conditions on most cyber policies, and we put them in place and evidence them. That matters at renewal — if you declare controls you don't actually have, a claim can be refused.

We aren't insurance brokers and can't advise on cover; speak to your broker about what's right for your business, and we'll make sure the technical side stands up.

What do you need from us to get started?

Three simple things—kept as light as possible:

- Install a small helper tool on each company device (you or your IT can do this; we’ll provide a click-by-click guide).

- Give us the right access to a few agreed areas so we can set things up and keep watch.

- Name a decision-maker we can reach quickly for approvals.

That’s it. We’ll handle the rest and keep you updated in plain English.

Is it all remote? What about on-site?

Most work is remote for speed and cost. If you need on-site help (e.g., a major incident or board session), we can arrange it—clearly scoped and scheduled.

Who is QuantumCare a good fit for?

UK organisations with 10–250 people who want predictable costs, clear reporting, and tangible improvements—not a one-off audit.

How will we know it’s working?

You’ll see simple monthly proof: how quickly we found issues, how fast we contained them, what improved, and what’s next. No long reports—just what leaders need.

Are we locked into a long-term contract?

Only if you choose to be.

Rolling monthly is the default. Thirty days' notice, no penalty, no exit fee — you can leave whenever you like.

The 12-month option exists because some clients would rather have a frozen price than the flexibility. It's £34 per account instead of £36, and your rate cannot change for the full term. Both are billed monthly, with nothing to pay upfront.

There is one exception. If you want us to take you through Cyber Essentials certification, that moves you onto a 12-month term. A certificate is only meaningful if the controls behind it stay in place for the year it covers, and we won't put our name to one we can't stand behind.

What's the difference between rolling and the 12-month agreement?

Rolling monthly is £36 per account and you can leave any time with 30 days' notice. The 12-month agreement is £34 per account, and your price is frozen for the full term.

Both are billed monthly. There is nothing to pay upfront either way.

What counts as a Microsoft 365 account?

Every licensed account — staff email accounts and administrator accounts alike. It is the number of licences you pay Microsoft for.

It's usually a little higher than your headcount, because most businesses have admin and service accounts alongside their people.

How quickly can we start?

Onboarding usually takes 1 week from agreement. We usually have the organisation fully secured within the 1st month.

What does "vCISO" actually mean?

A Chief Information Security Officer, on call, shared. You get the seniority and judgement without the salary.

What happens if something goes wrong at 2am?

Threats are monitored around the clock by a dedicated security operations centre, with isolation and remediation happening whether or not anyone's awake. You'll have a report waiting in the morning.

Is there a setup fee?

No.

Can we add or remove accounts during the month?

Yes — your bill follows your headcount.

We calculate the head count at the beginning of each month.

Do you help with Cyber Essentials?

Yes. Getting you ready for Cyber Essentials is part of the security programme — we do the technical work, put the controls in place and handle the questionnaire.

The certification itself is charged separately. That is the certification body's own fee, and we'll tell you what it is before you commit to anything.

One condition: if you want us to take you through certification, your agreement moves from rolling monthly to a 12-month term. A certificate is only meaningful if the controls behind it stay in place for the year it covers, and we won't put our name to one we can't stand behind.

What if we have more than one email domain?

Your first is included. Each additional domain is £30 per month, and every one gets taken to full DMARC enforcement

The next step

One conversation, and you’ll know
where you actually stand

You don’t have to decide anything on the call. We look at what you have, tell you what’s exposed, and you keep the findings either way. If we’re not the right fit for you, we’ll say so — that is a useful answer too.
