Imagine walking into your office one morning only to find that your email has been hacked, your customer records are exposed, and your accounting system is locked behind a ransom demand. The cause? A single weak password that an employee reused across multiple platforms.
If you’ve been paying attention to the business buzz around Crewe lately, you’ve probably noticed a shift. More businesses are setting up shop, commercial spaces are filling fast, and the town’s name is coming up in more and more boardroom conversations. We’ve felt it ourselves. That’s part of why Carden IT Services has recently opened a new office here.
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) makes it easy for your team to collaborate – wherever they are in the world.
Email threats are constantly evolving, and even with robust security systems in place, no solution is perfect 100% of the time. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure your defences are agile, responsive, and user-informed.
Let’s be honest — cybersecurity isn’t always the most thrilling subject. But when you’re the one responsible for keeping your business running smoothly, safely, and without disruption, it becomes a lot more relevant.

At Carden IT Services, we’re proud to support the important work carried out by charities and non-profits. We understand that these organisations need reliable, cost-effective IT systems that allow them to operate efficiently, protect sensitive data, and communicate effectively, with minimal distraction from their core mission.

There has recently been a worrying rise in fake celebrity scams, where fraudsters impersonate well-known figures to steal or extort money and personal information from unsuspecting victims. (more…)
