Foundation IT Information

Plenty of organisations have IT that works. Far fewer have IT they can make decisions about. The gap is widest between 50 and 500 users. Too complex for one person to hold in their head, too small for a full IT leadership function. So budgets get set on instinct, risk gets discussed without evidence, and nobody can say what good would look like. Foundation IT answers that. We are a Microsoft-first managed IT partner, trading since 1996, long enough to know which decisions age well. Our work runs on Kepler, the IT maturity framework we built and own. It measures an environment against a defined standards library across three phases, Foundation, Innovate and Transform, then turns the findings into a costed, sequenced roadmap a board can approve or decline on the merits. Cyber Essentials Plus is the gate out of the Foundation phase, so security is evidenced rather than asserted. Start with Kepler Compass, a free 45-minute session that establishes where you stand. Or commission Kepler Discovery, a full assessment across 39 Foundation standards, delivered on site by our own team of experts, including where Microsoft licensing and cloud spend is costing more than it should. You get a written report, prioritised findings and a plan. The report is yours whatever you do next. Day to day: Microsoft 365 and Azure, identity and Zero Trust security, cyber certification, cloud migration, AI and automation readiness. Co-managed where you have an IT team worth strengthening, fully outsourced where you do not. Remote team, on site across the UK for every assessment and review. Strongest in advanced manufacturing and engineering, with clients in financial services, retail and professional services. We also fund 79 acres of rewilding with Make It Wild, giving clients something concrete when their customers ask about supply chain sustainability.
