Your IT Partner Should Be
Getting You AI-Ready

Most businesses are still running on infrastructure that was never designed for AI. MCS prepares your Microsoft environment so your team can adopt Copilot and the next generation of AI tools safely, confidently, and without disruption.

  • AI Readiness Assessment We audit your data, permissions and Microsoft environment to identify exactly what needs to change before you switch Copilot on.
  • Microsoft Copilot Deployment Hands-on rollout, user training, and adoption support - so your team actually uses AI day-to-day, not just the IT department.
  • AI Governance & Data Security Data classification, access controls and DLP policies configured so Copilot can access what it should - and nothing it shouldn't.
  • Strategic AI Roadmapping A 12-month plan aligned to your business goals - showing where AI creates the most value, not just the most hype.

Are You Compliant With the
April 2026 Updates?

Cyber Essentials v3.3 introduced mandatory MFA and 14-day patching rules. Take 60 seconds to find your Red / Amber / Green status.

Question 1 of 5
Identity & Access
Do all staff use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for email and cloud services?
Cyber Essentials v3.3 now mandates MFA on all accounts accessing cloud-based services - a key April 2026 change.
Patching
Are security patches applied to all devices within 14 days of release?
The April 2026 Cyber Essentials update reduced the patch window to 14 days across all in-scope devices and software.
Firewalls
Do you have configured firewalls protecting all internet-facing devices and services?
Cyber Essentials requires boundary and host-based firewalls to be actively configured - not just switched on.
Access Control
Is privileged/admin access restricted to authorised users with separate admin accounts?
Cyber Essentials requires least-privilege access - admin accounts used only for admin tasks, not day-to-day work.
Malware Protection
Is approved malware protection (AV/EDR) active and up-to-date on ALL devices?
Includes remote worker devices. Cyber Essentials requires malware protection to be enabled and set to auto-update on all in-scope endpoints.
