Cyber security services in Chesterfield that help you reduce risk and stay running
Black Swan Cyber Security Solutions is a Chesterfield-based cyber security provider helping small businesses, schools, care providers, charities and professional firms reduce cyber risk and protect the systems they rely on. We provide managed cyber security, Microsoft 365 and email protection, endpoint and identity monitoring, backup and recovery support, and Cyber Essentials guidance, and we can work alongside your existing IT provider rather than replace them.
No hard sell. We’ll ask what you’re trying to protect, what’s worrying you, and what deadline you’re working to.
Cyber security services for Chesterfield small businesses
Protect Microsoft 365, email, devices and important business data without building an in-house cyber security team.
Black Swan is based in Chesterfield and helps local organisations understand what is protected, where the gaps are and what should be fixed first. We provide practical managed protection, Cyber Essentials support, backup and recovery guidance, and monitoring that can work alongside your existing IT provider.
No pressure and no generic sales pitch. We will look at where you are now and explain the most sensible next step.
Cyber security usually becomes urgent when something changes.
Most organisations do not wake up wanting more cyber security software. They act because a customer, insurer, tender, incident or growing reliance on Microsoft 365 exposes a gap.
Four practical outcomes for Chesterfield organisations
This page gives the local picture. The detailed service pages explain the technology, monitoring and delivery model behind each area.
Reduce risk across Microsoft 365, email and devices
Bring identity, email, endpoint protection, patching and managed monitoring together instead of relying on disconnected tools.

Turning a national warning into a local business conversation
With support from Watson & Brown, our ransomware awareness message has been displayed locally to encourage Chesterfield organisations to ask a practical question: if ransomware hit tomorrow, could the business keep working and recover cleanly?
We help turn that question into a plan covering prevention, monitoring, protected backups and the steps to take when something suspicious happens.
A clear route from uncertainty to stronger protection
Review the current position
We look at the systems you depend on, what is already in place and the trigger that brought cyber security onto the agenda.
Prioritise the real gaps
You receive clear recommendations that separate urgent risks from useful improvements and longer-term options.
Protect, monitor and improve
We help implement the agreed controls, provide managed support where required and review the position as the business changes.
We are not here to replace a good IT provider.
Day-to-day IT support and managed cyber security are related, but they are not identical. We can work alongside your existing provider, adding specialist monitoring, identity protection, security reporting, backup oversight and practical compliance support.
That gives your IT team another pair of eyes and gives leadership a clearer view of the risks, controls and responsibilities.
Supporting organisations across Chesterfield and nearby areas
Most services can be delivered remotely, with local and on-site support arranged where it adds value.
Cyber security support in Chesterfield
Are you actually based in Chesterfield?
Yes. Black Swan is based in Chesterfield and supports local businesses, schools and organisations across Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and the wider UK.

Yes. We regularly add a specialist cyber security layer alongside existing IT support. The aim is to strengthen monitoring, reporting, identity protection, recovery and security decision-making without duplicating good work.
Do you only work with larger businesses?
No. The service is designed primarily for smaller organisations that depend on Microsoft 365, email and cloud systems but do not have an internal cyber security team.
Can you help with Cyber Essentials?
Yes. We can review the relevant controls, identify gaps and help you prepare for Cyber Essentials, tenders, customer questionnaires and cyber insurance requirements.
Do you provide 24/7 cyber monitoring?
Managed detection and response options are available where around-the-clock monitoring is required. We will explain exactly what is monitored, who reviews alerts and what happens when action is needed.
How do we get started?
Begin with a free 30-minute cyber review. We will discuss your current position, the reason you are looking for help and the most sensible next step.
