Managed IT
Proactive support and infrastructure that simply works, with MDR included as standard on every managed plan.
We run your IT, secure it, build on it, and prove it is compliant. One accountable team across the whole stack, in plain English, for serious organisations of every kind, and especially those, like defence, energy and engineering, where precision and uptime are not optional.
Most firms do one of these and point at someone else for the rest. We hold the whole stack, so the parts work together and the responsibility stops with us.

Protect the business and prove it. We are a Cyber Essentials certification body, not merely a holder.
Bespoke software, automation, and applied AI, built by the same team that runs and secures it. UK hosted and governed.
Audits that find real money and real risk, and the evidence auditors, insurers, and clients ask for.
Run, secure, build, prove. Held separately they pull against each other and the blame lives in between. Held by one team they lock into a single accountable whole, where the responsibility stops with us.
Pure IT firms do not build software. Software houses are not certified security providers. Compliance platforms neither run nor build. When you split the stack across vendors, the problems live in the gaps between them, and so does the blame. We close the gaps by owning all four.
A clear eyed review of your IT, your spend, your security, and your efficiency. Low commitment, immediately useful, and the fastest way to see how we think before you commit to anything.
We are loud about outcomes and careful about anything that would help an attacker. Named with consent, anonymised where it matters.
A comprehensive review uncovered twelve risks, several critical. We remediated every one and moved the firm onto managed services so the gaps stay closed.

Hello, I am Ainsley, the assistant here at Dead Simple Computing. I built nothing today, but I am one of the governed AI assistants we build for clients. Ask me about managed IT, cyber security, software and AI, or governance and audit.
Ainsley is an assistant and can be wrong. For anything that matters you will speak to an engineer.
