Scope and responsibility

Choose the work you need

Use DSC as your managed IT department, add capacity to an internal team, or commission a defined project or review.

The four disciplines describe available services. We agree the supported systems, response hours, change approvals and reporting for each engagement.

Run

Support the working environment

Devices, Microsoft 365, infrastructure and recovery. Monitoring and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) are agreed for the systems and response arrangements in scope.

Secure

Review controls and assessment needs

Technical security, incident response and certification. We are an appointed certification body for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus.

Build

Improve software and workflows

Custom software, integration, automation and applied AI. Discovery establishes the workflow, data, acceptance criteria and support plan.

Other technical businesses

Support beyond the sector guides

Drones and autonomy

Access to designs and test data, supporting software and integration. Specialist flight and safety responsibilities are agreed with your engineering team.

Advanced manufacturing

Office and production dependencies, controlled network access and recovery planning. Machine and safety-system changes require the relevant specialist approvals.

Engineering IT

Construction

Devices and connectivity across sites, subcontractor access and project documents. Software projects can connect the business systems behind that work.

Technology

Corporate IT alongside product development, customer security reviews and supplier evidence. Choose the support that fits your internal capacity.

Starting an engagement

What to bring to the first conversation

You do not need a finished specification. A description of the work and the decision you need to make is enough to begin.

The requirement

A support gap, system change or assessment request. For defence, identify the DEFCON 658 and 659 conditions or DCC level. For financial services, identify the applicable FCA or partner requirement.

The environment

Users, sites, applications, suppliers and your internal IT capacity. Include the systems needing recovery or specialist change approval.

The timetable and budget

Contract dates, renewal points and planned changes. We can agree whether to start with a review, an implementation project or a managed service.
