Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed program designed to shield organisations from the most frequent cyberattacks. It acts as a foundational layer of cyber defence, akin to locking your doors and windows at night. By following these basic controls, organisations significantly reduce their vulnerability to common tactics like malware and phishing attempts.

Great company to work with. We outsource our IT support to them and they’ve proven themselves right from the start. Quick to respond and fix issues. In this era of hacking and companies being held to ransom via IT attacks value their advice in keeping our systems protected and safe. Highly recommend.
“We would like to thank you for the excellent and professional service you and your team at Lucid Technology Solutions have provided. Lucid Technology Solutions has provided peace of mind. The on-boarding team at Lucid from the Finance team to the IT Support team have made everything easy and seamless, so a big Thank You to the Lucid Team.”
“Highly professional and prompt service. The lucid IT Support team have looked after our network for a few years now and nothing is too small a problem for them to solve. I would recommend them to anyone who has any number of PCs.”
After deleting over a years worth of work in error from my laptop Lucid came to the rescue and recovered all my data within 24 hours! Paul and his team are excellent at what they do and the communication I received was excellent. I’ve since instructed Lucid to provide ongoing IT support for my company and for a really fair price I now have total peace of mind and confidence my work is safe. Thanks again!!
“Lucid technology are our IT support, we find their services and knowledge first class. Lucid are always on hand to help us with any issues we may face from designing a website to fixing our server. We would be lost without them at the end of the telephone. The team at lucid are excellent in the service they provide to us and will continue to use them for many years to come.”
We work in Google suite and didn’t realise there was no backup for any documents that go missing. I had recently lost a very significant financial document for my business that took many hours to recreate, which I am sure everyone can appreciate, as a business owner, we have precious little time already, without having to back track for a year’s worth of data! So hearing that the IT Support team at Lucid could help us with a solution was a no brainer, in less than 24 hours we were sorted.
“Three cameras installed during opening hours with minimal disruption to the shop. High quality and excellent service. Since having the cameras installed, we have had a security issue and the police have commented on the high quality of the camera recordings.”
