About this sector

The most important question when buying IT support is rarely about technology. It is whether you own your own Microsoft tenancy, domain names and backups, or whether your provider does. Firms that hold those on your behalf are difficult to leave, and that difficulty is sometimes deliberate.

The second is security. A managed service provider has privileged access to your systems, so their own certification and practices matter as much as yours.

Questions about it support and managed services

How much does outsourced IT support cost per user?

Managed IT support in West Yorkshire typically costs £30 to £75 per user per month in 2026. The lower end usually covers helpdesk and patching only; the upper end includes security monitoring, backup, licensing management and a defined on-site response. Additional projects — migrations, hardware refreshes, security remediation — are almost always quoted separately, so compare what is inside the per-user figure rather than the figure itself.

What is Cyber Essentials and does my business need it?

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification covering five basic technical controls: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection and patch management. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent technical audit. It is mandatory for most central government contracts and increasingly required by larger private buyers and insurers. For a small business it is a reasonable baseline and an inexpensive one, and any IT provider you use should hold it themselves.
