Let’s be honest—cyber security can feel a bit overwhelming, right? Phishing emails, ransomware, data breaches… it’s a lot to think about. But the good news? You don’t have to do it alone. At Smart Computers, as well as offering computer rentals, laptop hire and more, we’re also about helping businesses and individuals stay safe online.
And to back that up, we’ve just renewed our Cyber Essentials certification for another year! This government-backed program is essential in helping organisations protect their data from cyber-attacks and is especially valuable for businesses working with government contracts or handling sensitive data. We use it as part of our toolkit to keep you—and your data—secure.

Why Should You Care About Cyber Security?
Here’s the thing: cyber-attacks aren’t just something that happens to “other people.” They happen to businesses of all sizes, individuals, and even families. Whether it’s a sneaky phishing email or full-blown ransomware, the risks are real.
But the good news? You can manage those risks! A strong security setup doesn’t just protect your data—it gives you peace of mind. It shows your customers (or friends and family!) that their information is safe, and it keeps you focused on what really matters—your work, your business, or just enjoying your tech without stress.

How We Help You Stay Safe Online
We know that cyber security can feel like a confusing maze of jargon and scary headlines. That’s why we make it simple. Our goal is to give you practical, tailored solutions that work for your situation.
Here’s what we can help with:
For businesses: We’ll assess your systems, train your team to spot phishing scams, and put the right protections in place to keep your business safe.
For individuals: Whether it’s antivirus, secure passwords, or avoiding dodgy links, we’ll help you protect yourself online.
For everyone: We stay ahead of the latest threats, so you don’t have to.
One example – A business owner came to us after their team nearly fell for a phishing scam. We stepped in, secured their systems, trained their staff, and added some extra protections to make sure it didn’t happen again. Now they’re confident and better prepared for whatever comes their way.
