Free cyber security support from UK Policing

If you are involved in running a small to medium sized business, a charity, a public sector body or a local community group, and you are concerned about the security of your computers, your IT systems, your website or your Social Media account, the South West Cyber Resilience Centre offers free help and support.

The SW CRC is part of UK Policing’s TEAM CYBER UK and headed up by Steve Shepherd, who was previously a Devon and Cornwall Police Cyber Protect Officer.

The SW CRC is a not-for-profit organisation, funded by the Home Office and regional policing. The SW CRC exists to help South-West based small to medium sized businesses, organisations, charities, voluntary groups, and public sector bodies, with their Cyber Security.

Cyber Security can feel complicated, expensive, and unmanageable. It can be hard to know where to start, or how to improve resilience.  Professional Cyber Security support is often costly and for many, obtaining such assistance can be well beyond their financial means.  These regional CRC’s have been set up by Government to help those who find themselves in just that position.
