Security, cloud, and compliance — published prices

Three product lines, separable or combined. Managed endpoint security, Cyber Essentials certification, and a rolling compliance subscription. Yorkshire SMBs, 10–50 users. No "call for a quote" on any of it.

Managed Endpoint + Cloud

Yorkshire SMBs, 10–50 users — monthly rolling, 5-user minimum

From £14/user/mo
All prices ex-VAT — VAT added at 20% where applicable

Remote management and monitoring, managed threat detection and response (managed EDR, antivirus, identity threat detection, and security event correlation), and optional M365 Business Premium — all in a single monthly bill. Three tiers. Monthly rolling contract on the service layer. M365 licensing follows Microsoft's annual NCE commit — that's disclosed upfront in every proposal.

The recommended tier is Secure. It adds M365 tenant hardening, managed email security, and cloud-to-cloud backup on top of the Protect baseline. For most 10–50-user Yorkshire SMBs, it is the right level and cost-effective against buying the pieces separately.

A one-off onboarding fee (£500–£1,500 depending on user count and starting state) covers tenant hardening, agent rollout, and baseline documentation.

Cyber Essentials Certification

Any size — first-time certification or annual renewal

From £795
Fixed prices — published, no POA — ex-VAT

Published prices. No "call for a quote". CE and CE+ certification with a named lead engineer, included readiness work, one resubmission, and a 30-day post-cert retest window.

Every engagement includes: methodology-driven gap assessment against all five CE control areas, remediation guidance, policy templates, evidence preparation, and submission handling via our certification body.

Recurring compliance subscription — annual or monthly billing

From £300/yr
Published banded prices — ex-VAT

A rolling compliance subscription, banded by organisation size. Three tiers: Watch gives you continuous vulnerability monitoring and policy management. Certify adds a CE certificate, patch management, awareness training, and £25k cyber insurance. Assure adds CE+ and GDPR privacy toolbox on top.

What Wolds Cyber does not do

Wolds Cyber is the security and compliance layer. Being explicit about the boundaries is a feature, not a limitation.

  • Telephony and VoIP provisioning
  • Connectivity — leased lines, MPLS, SoGEA, firewall-as-circuit
  • Multi-site on-site break-fix at scale

Wolds Cyber is a solo-principal practice — the capacity guardrail is intentional. If you already have an IT provider, Wolds Cyber can co-exist with them — taking the security and compliance layer without displacing the relationship your team relies on. Talk it through →

What it checks
  • SSL/TLS certificate validity and configuration
  • HTTP security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and more)
  • DNS email security — SPF and DMARC record validation
  • Exposed sensitive files and directories
  • Technology detection and fingerprinting

Yes. All prices are published — no POA, no "contact us for a quote". Prices are shown ex-VAT; VAT is added at the prevailing rate (currently 20%) where applicable. The majority of Yorkshire IT and security providers hide their numbers behind a discovery call. We do not do that.
Yes, and this is common. Wolds Cyber takes the security and compliance layer — endpoint security, M365 hardening, email security, and certification — while your existing provider keeps helpdesk and connectivity. We do not need to replace them to add meaningful value.
Yes. East Riding of Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, and wider Yorkshire — Hull, Harrogate, Beverley, Driffield, Scarborough, Bridlington. Managed and compliance services are remote-first, so geography matters less. On-site work has travel included within the core service area. Contact us for locations further afield.
