Cyber security doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be done properly.
If something on our banner caught your eye, you’re in the right place. We help Derbyshire businesses make sense of cyber security, fix the gaps that matter and avoid the kind of problems that lead to awkward calls with clients, insurers or worse.
Cyber security for Derbyshire businesses that want practical help, not scare tactics.
You have probably just seen us at an event, on a roller banner, or during a local business conversation. This page is the quick version of what we do.
Black Swan Cyber Security Solutions helps small businesses, schools, care providers, trades and professional firms reduce cyber risk with clear advice, sensible protection and support that fits the real world.
If cyber security feels messy, we make it manageable.
Protect your business
Managed endpoint protection, email security, Microsoft 365 protection, backups and 24/7 monitoring where needed.
Meet client requirements
Cyber Essentials, supplier questionnaires, tender requirements and cyber insurance readiness support.
Support your people
Security awareness training, phishing simulations and plain-English guidance your team can actually use.
Most smaller organisations are not short of tools. They are short of clear guidance.
You might already have antivirus. You might already use Microsoft 365. You might already have backups. But are they configured properly? Are they monitored? Would they stand up to a cyber insurance question, a client audit, or a real attack?
That is where we help.
What we often see
- MFA switched on for some accounts, but not all key systems.
- Backups in place, but rarely tested.
- Staff spotting suspicious emails, but not knowing what to do next.
- Microsoft 365 used every day, but with limited visibility into identity threats.
- Cyber Essentials or insurance forms causing last-minute panic.
- Good businesses relying on hope instead of a clear cyber plan.
We help you reduce the chance of an attack, spot trouble faster, and recover properly if something goes wrong.
No jargon. No panic. No pretending one product fixes everything.
- Cyber security reviews and practical action plans.
- Cyber Essentials support.
- Microsoft 365 security and backup.
- Email security and phishing protection.
- Managed endpoint detection and response.
- Security awareness training.
- Cyber insurance readiness.
Who we work with
- Small businesses across Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.
- Schools and multi-academy trusts.
- Care providers and domiciliary care businesses.
- Trades and contractors needing client assurance.
- Professional services firms handling sensitive client data.
- Charities and community-focused organisations.
Why people talk to us

- They need help alongside their existing IT provider.
- They want to stop guessing and get a clear plan.
- They want cyber security that supports the business, not slows it down.
Let’s carry on the conversation.
If something on the banner caught your eye, or you have a cyber security question you have been putting off, drop us a message. No hard sell. Just a useful conversation about where you are now and what would make the biggest difference.
What people usually ask after scanning the code
Do I need to be technical to work with you?
No. Most of our conversations start with business owners or managers who just want clear advice without jargon.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. We often work alongside existing IT support to strengthen cyber security without replacing them.
Is this just for larger businesses?
No. Most of the organisations we support are small businesses, schools and care providers.
