CloudTech24 successfully took over full IT support management of a couple UK based entities within our Group.

We’re a few months into our relationship with CloudTech24, having selected them from a number of vendors to support the IT for our business. I can honestly say we’re very pleased with them – they’re always responsive, built a solution around our needs (rather than retrofitting our needs simply into a “standard offering”, which is what we found with most other providers), and resolution timescales for issues experienced have been minimal. Very happy!

Here in ConnectDS I learned Cyber Security is the essence of today’s technology, facing cyber threats shouldn’t be taken lightly and should be a priority. If you own a small to medium size company I recommend you get the best team of Security Engineers and it’s ConnectDS!

Used ConnectDS for our Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus re-accreditation and could not have been more impressed. From the first engagement to us passing CE+, they were professional, responsive, helpful and a general delight to work with.

Will absolutely be working with them again and encourage anyone needing the services they require to give them a call.

A special mention to Lisa, Rhys and Callum as they went above and beyond to make us feel supported and, most importantly, compliant.
