IT and cyber security built for law firms
Your regulator expects controls. Your clients expect confidentiality. Most IT companies understand neither.
HelmTech is a Microsoft security and managed IT practice that works with regulated professional services firms. We speak SRA, ICO and Lexcel, and we secure the Microsoft 365 estate your firm already owns.

How engagements start
Every engagement starts with the fixed-fee Security Health Check: a plain-English report showing exactly where an attacker or a regulator would find a gap in your firm, and what it costs to close it. The fee is credited against onboarding if you proceed.
