Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the things businesses ask us most. Can’t see yours? Get in touch, we’re happy to help.
Getting started & support
How quickly do you respond to issues?
Our helpdesk is staffed Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, and we prioritise issues by impact. Anything stopping you working is treated as urgent. Our target response times during staffed hours are:
Urgent (you can’t work, or a security incident): within 1 hourHigh (significant disruption affecting several users): within 2 hoursStandard (single user or an issue with a workaround): within 4 hoursLow (general requests and changes): within 1 business day
We keep you updated through to resolution, not just on first response.
How do we log a support request?
Clients can raise a ticket through the support portal, by email or by phone, whatever’s quickest for you. Existing clients can also start a remote support session from the Client Access Portal.
Do you provide on-site support or is it all remote?
Both. Most issues are resolved remotely in minutes, but we’re based in Nottingham and come on-site across the UK when a problem needs hands-on attention.
Will we have a dedicated point of contact?
Yes. You’re not a ticket number, you’ll get to know our team, and we hold regular reviews so we understand your business, not just your network.
Switching to Supere
Is changing IT provider disruptive?
It shouldn’t be. We run a structured transition that does the heavy lifting in the background, most clients experience no downtime at all. See how our onboarding works.
Are we tied into a long contract?
Yes, we work on a 3 year agreement. That length lets us invest properly in your environment, security and improvements rather than just keeping the lights on, and it gives you a stable, long-term IT partner instead of switching providers every year.
We also back it with ProveIt90, our 90 day guarantee. If we haven’t delivered what we promised in the first 90 days, you’re free to walk away. So while the commitment is there, the risk of getting stuck with the wrong partner sits with us, not you. We keep terms fair and transparent, with no hidden lock-ins.
What if it doesn’t work out?
We back our service with our ProveIT90™ Guarantee, so you can switch with confidence.
Security & compliance
Is outsourcing our IT actually secure?
It’s more secure. We enforce MFA, managed EDR, tested backups and least-privilege access, and we’re Cyber Essentials Plus certified ourselves, so the standards we apply to you, we already hold.
Can you help us get Cyber Essentials certified?
Yes, we provide Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus guidance, remediation and certification, whether you’re a managed client or just need the certification. See our compliance services.
Do you carry out penetration testing?
Yes, CREST-approved penetration testing, including on our own systems. It can be a one-off engagement or part of an ongoing security programme.
Can you help with GDPR, DSARs and ISO 27001?
We support GDPR compliance, handling of Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) and ISO 27001 implementation. See our compliance services.
Pricing
How much does managed IT cost?
It depends on your team size and the level of support and security you need. We keep it simple with a predictable monthly fee and no surprise bills, see our plans and pricing.
Can we just buy cyber security without full IT support?
Yes. Our Supere Security package can be added to your existing IT or taken on its own.
Do you offer co-managed IT for in-house teams?
Absolutely. Our co-managed plan works alongside your internal IT team, filling gaps in security, tooling or capacity.
