Cyber 101 is a simple, low-cost cybersecurity service built for businesses that want protection without complexity. It’s designed to help you stay safe from online threats without the jargon, overwhelm, or enterprise-level price tag.

Every week, another business hits the headlines after a cyber attack or data breach. The fallout? Lost revenue, reputational damage, and costly downtime. Yet many small and growing businesses still don’t know where to begin.

That’s exactly why we created Cyber 101.

We give you a clear picture of where your security stands, what to fix first, and how to strengthen your defences. You’ll get a Ransomware Resilience Rating, a tailored action plan with YOUR top priority items, and practical tools to reduce risk from the most common cyber threats

“Cyber 101 was exactly what our farm shop needed.” – Mrs P Farm Shop

We always knew our busy farm shop could be a target for cyber attackers, but we had no idea where to start. Years ago, someone called us up about Cyber Essentials, but we didn’t have the time or the tech knowledge to deal with all the reading and jargon.
Cyber 101 from Pentest Cyber Ltd was a game-changer. It gave us exactly what we needed, with minimal time, reading, & technical effort. I had a clear, conversation with the advisor, who gave us an expert summary and a Ransomware Resilience Rating. That showed us exactly what to prioritise for our business.
We made a couple of simple changes and now have extra layers of protection. Best of all, we’ve got an ‘escape plan’ if ransomware ever hits us. We now understand how to boost our defences without spending a fortune. We’re even considering Cyber Essentials in the future, with PTC’s help.”

Why Cyber 101 Matters

We created this service because we kept seeing the same problems again and again:

Email Security
Password Security
Software & Hardware Security
User Training & Awareness
WiFi Security
Policies – IT Governance Basics

These basic areas are often overlooked by busy businesses, but they’re exactly where attackers strike first. Weak passwords, unpatched software, or a phishing email can be all it takes to cause serious damage.

These simple oversights create easy entry points for hackers. Cyber 101 helps you fix the basics fast and lays a strong foundation for more advanced protections like cybersecurity certifications, penetration testing, and long-term resilience planning in the future.
