Strategic IT roadmap, beyond a helpdesk

Cyber Essentials Plus certified

What would it cost if your business was down for one day?

Most businesses know how much they pay for IT salaries, provider fees, licences, and hardware. Very few know what IT actually costs the business once cyber risk and process inefficiency are priced in.

That leads to unwelcome surprises. At best, you have the cost of staff unable to work and customers who can’t be served. At worst, you’re facing the consequences of a cyber-attack or regulatory fine.

We protect you for a fraction of the equivalent exposure. Our approach is about identifying those risks and inefficiencies well in advance and fixing them proactively with a roadmap that supports your growth targets. That way, your business has the tech and security it needs to operate smoothly – and gets the most value out of its IT investments.

They thought they were spending £3k/month – but it was costing them £10k

A manufacturer told us its monthly IT spend was £3,000. However, when we conducted a free IT and cyber audit, their score was only 29 out of 100. We found issues like company data on the dark web and lack of a strong password policy. Once we priced in the risks from these gaps, the effective cost of IT to the business was £10,345 per month.

We proposed a plan that reduced their monthly IT spend from £3,000 to £2,420 while lifting the audit score to 98. They cut both cost and risk – with the metrics to prove both.

Frequently asked questions

A managed IT service provider looks after your business’s IT for a fixed monthly fee, so your team can get on with their work. At Cube 6 IT, that means helpdesk support, cyber security, Microsoft 365 and cloud, backup, and keeping every device up to date. We also spot problems before they stop anyone working.

Most small businesses pay a fixed monthly fee per user or per device, so you know exactly what IT will cost each month. The price depends on the size of your team, what’s already in place, and how much support you need. For an exact figure, start with a free IT and cyber audit, with no obligation and no sales pitch.

We respond immediately with any issues. Our working business hours are 8.30am to 5pm. When you call or email, you speak directly to an engineer, with no queues or delays.

Yes. Cube 6 has been based in Colchester since 2007, supporting businesses across the Essex area and surrounding counties. We fix most issues remotely and come on site when needed. As part of the Owlis group, we can also support offices UK wide.

Switching on average takes 5 days, and we manage the handover with your current IT provider for you so you can continue to run your business. We start with an audit, agree a plan and a go-live date, then move your accounts, passwords, and documentation across without disrupting your day.

Cyber Essentials is the government-backed certification that shows your business has basic protection against the most common cyber-attacks. We help you get ready, fix any gaps, and guide you through the assessment. Until March 2027, or until the funding runs out, eligible SMEs can get 75% off their first certificate through the government’s Cyber Essentials First Step Fund.

Our contracts run for 12 months, with 90 days’ notice. We’d rather keep clients because they’re happy than because they’re tied in.

Yes. If someone already looks after IT alongside their day job, or you have a small in-house team, we can take on the helpdesk, security, or projects they don’t have time for. That leaves them free to focus on the work only they can do.
