Free 10-point business IT health check
Most small-business IT problems are avoidable — the trouble is knowing where the gaps are before they bite. Our free 10-point health check reviews the things that most often cause downtime, data loss or a security scare, and gives you a clear, jargon-free picture of where you stand. No cost, no obligation, no hard sell.
What we check
-
1
Backups that actually work
Are your backups running, off-site or immutable, and — crucially — have they been test-restored recently?
-
2
Updates & supported software
Is every device patched, with nothing still running an out-of-support operating system that no longer gets security fixes?
-
3
Endpoint protection
Is antivirus / endpoint security active on every machine, up to date, and actually monitored rather than ignored?
-
4
Passwords & MFA
Strong, unique passwords, a password manager, and multi-factor authentication on email and key accounts?
-
5
Email security
Spam and phishing filtering in place, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up so your email is trusted and harder to spoof?
-
6
Network & firewall
A secured router with no default passwords, a separate guest Wi-Fi, and remote access locked down.
-
7
User accounts & access
Least-privilege access, admin rights controlled, and ex-staff accounts promptly removed.
-
8
Data protection & GDPR
You know where personal data lives, it's protected, and there's a plan if it's ever breached.
-
9
Hardware age & reliability
Nothing critical is past its sensible replacement age, and single points of failure are identified.
-
10
Disaster recovery plan
You could recover from ransomware, theft or a fire — and you know roughly how long it would take.

What our customers say
Amazing service! I needed my laptop battery replaced and I was struggling to find a day to be without it. Steve arrived on a Sunday evening, popped out to his car to work on it and it was all done within half an hour! Would absolutely recommend and will definitely use again.
Took my PS5 controller in to have the stick drift fixed. Was recommended replacing with more reliable motion sticks, was only meant to take a day for the repair however the guys had to wait on a parts delivery and Royal Mail took their time with it, so took longer that expected (out with the control of Dead or Alive) Repair was very reasonably priced and they staff were really friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back if I've got any other tech issues needing fixed.
Brilliant! Steve was a proper gentleman and got my laptop fixed on the day (cause I really needed it!). Very pleased with the service. I will not only use again but I'll be telling others about how good they are. 5 stars easy.
Absolutely first class service, Steve arrived one evening and returned the next , problem solved. ! Amazing customer care , was kept informed of issues and resolution with costs. No hesitation in recommending Dead or Alive Technology. Excellent service at amazing price too..and all with a smile..
