Why UK Businesses Trust 1st IT for Compliance
Most SMEs know they should be compliant — they just don’t know where to start. The regulations keep changing, the acronyms pile up (GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, PCI DSS), and the penalties for getting it wrong are real. A single ICO fine can cost more than years of proper compliance work.
We’ve spent 20+ years helping London organisations cut through that confusion. We work with SMEs and charities who don’t have an in-house compliance team and need someone who can tell them plainly: here’s what applies to you, here’s what doesn’t, and here’s exactly what needs doing. No 80-page report that sits in a drawer — a clear action plan with deadlines and priorities.
Every client gets access to our dedicated client portal where they can track compliance tasks, view open tickets, and chat directly with the engineer handling their account. 130+ businesses already rely on us to keep their systems audit-ready — not once a year when the auditor comes, but every day.

How We Help You Get Compliant
We start with a full audit of your current setup — devices, user permissions, cloud configuration, backup status, and existing policies. No assumptions, no templates. We look at what you actually have and compare it against the standards that apply to your sector.
From there, we build a prioritised action plan. If you need Cyber Essentials certification, we handle the technical requirements and walk you through the self-assessment. If GDPR is your concern, we review your data handling, consent processes, and third-party agreements. If your board or trustees need proof that IT security is under control, we give you documentation they can actually read.
Once you’re compliant, we don’t disappear. Our team monitors your environment, flags policy drift when staff or systems change, and keeps your compliance posture current as regulations evolve. When your next audit comes around, the evidence is already in your client portal — no last-minute scramble.
Not Sure Where Your Compliance Gaps Are?
We'll review your current setup and tell you exactly what needs fixing — no jargon, no scare tactics.
