Our penetration testing practice delivers controlled, expert-led offensive security assessments that replicate real attacker techniques to uncover exploitable weaknesses across external and internal networks, web applications, APIs, cloud configurations and physical controls. Every engagement begins with clearly scoped objectives and ends with a detailed report containing evidence-backed findings, risk-rated prioritisation and practical remediation guidance. Whether you need an annual compliance test, a pre-launch application assessment or a red-team exercise, we tailor the approach to your threat model, technology stack and regulatory context.

Octavian IT provides a fully managed support function covering day-to-day incidents, service requests, user onboarding and offboarding, endpoint management, patching, asset tracking, escalation processes and proactive operational guidance. Services are wrapped in clear SLAs, ITIL-aligned workflows and regular service reviews so leadership has visibility of performance, ticket trends and improvement actions. Whether you need a fully outsourced service desk or co-managed support alongside an internal team, we shape the engagement around how your business actually works.

Our security practice covers risk assessments, endpoint and email protection, identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, vulnerability scanning, patch governance, security awareness training, phishing simulations, control hardening and incident response readiness. We map activity to recognised frameworks such as Cyber Essentials, NIST CSF and ISO 27001, then translate findings into a prioritised roadmap of practical, budget-aware actions. The goal is to reduce real exposure across users, devices, cloud platforms and supply chain — not to overwhelm you with tooling.

We support the full cloud lifecycle: discovery and readiness assessments, landing zone design, migration of workloads to Microsoft Azure, AWS and Microsoft 365, hybrid integration, identity consolidation, cost optimisation and ongoing managed operations. Engagements typically include licensing review, governance and tagging policies, backup and DR design, Conditional Access, Intune-based device management and SharePoint or Teams adoption planning — all delivered in a way that keeps environments secure, performant and commercially sensible.

Octavian IT designs, deploys and supports physical and hybrid server estates including Windows Server, Linux, Hyper-V and VMware platforms, SAN and NAS storage, Active Directory, file and print, database hosts and line-of-business application servers. Our managed service covers proactive monitoring, patching, firmware updates, capacity and performance reviews, hardware lifecycle planning, resilience design and project delivery for refresh, consolidation or hybrid-cloud programmes.

We deliver site surveys, predictive and post-installation heat maps, controller and access point design, secure SSID and VLAN segmentation, guest portals, RADIUS authentication and ongoing wireless performance monitoring. Solutions are built on enterprise platforms such as Cisco Meraki, Aruba and Ubiquiti, sized to handle dense user populations, IoT devices and roaming-sensitive applications across offices, warehouses, retail sites and campuses.

Our Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery service starts with a business impact analysis to define recovery priorities, RTOs and RPOs for each critical system. We then design layered backup, replication and failover solutions across on-premises and cloud, document tested runbooks, and run regular DR exercises so your teams know exactly what to do when ransomware, hardware failure or a site-wide incident hits. The result is a plan that is documented, rehearsed and genuinely recoverable.

Octavian IT specifies, procures and supports the full connectivity stack: leased lines, FTTP, SD-WAN, MPLS replacement, 4G/5G failover, site-to-site and remote-access VPNs, next-generation firewalls and segmentation. We assess bandwidth, latency, routing and resilience requirements against how your applications and users actually behave, then deliver a network that is secure, observable and ready for cloud, voice and video traffic.

We design and implement cloud-hosted VoIP and unified communications platforms including Microsoft Teams Phone and leading hosted PBX solutions, with call recording, contact-centre features, number porting and international routing. Alongside voice, we manage the mobile estate end-to-end — device procurement, mobile plans, MDM enrolment via Intune, application policies, security baselines and lifecycle replacement — so distributed teams stay connected, compliant and productive.

Octavian IT's mobile device management service provides centralised enrolment, configuration and lifecycle management for your entire endpoint estate. We deploy Microsoft Intune or equivalent platforms to enforce security baselines, conditional access policies, application restrictions and encryption standards across iOS, Android, macOS and Windows devices. The service includes remote wipe capabilities, compliance reporting, software distribution, Wi-Fi and VPN profile management, and integration with identity providers — ensuring distributed teams remain productive while corporate data stays protected.

Our Cyber Essentials service guides your organisation through the UK government-backed accreditation scheme, ensuring you meet the five core technical controls: secure configuration, boundary firewalls, access control, malware protection and patch management. We conduct a pre-assessment gap analysis, implement any required technical or policy changes, manage the submission process and provide ongoing guidance to maintain compliance. For organisations handling sensitive data or bidding for public-sector contracts, Cyber Essentials Plus — which includes independent technical validation — is also available.

Octavian IT helps organisations move beyond AI experimentation into measurable business outcomes. We assess where artificial intelligence can genuinely add value — from intelligent automation, document processing and chatbots to Microsoft 365 Copilot rollouts, custom large language model integrations and data-driven decision tooling. Engagements cover use-case discovery, data readiness, governance and responsible-AI policies, secure deployment on Azure OpenAI or equivalent platforms, user training and ongoing optimisation, ensuring AI is adopted safely, ethically and with a clear return on investment.

Our website build service delivers full lifecycle support from start to finish: discovery workshops, brand-aligned UX and UI design, responsive front-end development, secure hosting setup, content management system implementation, SEO foundations, accessibility compliance and launch readiness testing. Post-launch we provide ongoing maintenance, performance monitoring, security patching, content updates and iterative improvements — giving you a single trusted partner for the entire journey rather than juggling separate designers, developers and hosts.
