The UK’s Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is coming, and it impacts your IT partner as well as your business. Even if your SME isn’t directly regulated, your MSP is. That means stronger cyber protections, tougher compliance rules, and new reporting responsibilities, all part of making your systems safer and more resilient. 3 steps to take now: Audit your current setup: are you meeting Cyber Essentials basics? Review your MSP agreement: will your provider meet new standards? Plan for incident reporting: even if things go wrong, being prepared matters. CTRL‑S is already ahead of the curve. We’re updating systems, tightening processes, and helping SMEs like yours stay secure, and compliant, before the law catches up. Want to know what this means for you? Get in touch today.

. Isle of Anglesey County Council names Bromcom Computers as MIS Provider for its schools "As the Senior Responsible Owner for this programme, I am pleased to confirm Anglesey’s commitment to the Bromcom implementation. This transformation is a strategic investment in modern, data driven school information management across the island, and a key step in strengthening how we support pupils, staff and school leaders. The move to a single, centrally configurable MIS will help us reduce complexity, drive consistency, and improve the quality and timeliness of the data we rely upon for decision making. This programme is about more than replacing a system – it is about enabling our schools to work more efficiently, ensuring staff have the right tools and training, and delivering a sustainable platform for the future. We look forward to working closely with Bromcom and our schools to deliver a smooth, well supported transition and to realise long term benefits for learners and the wider education system in Anglesey."
