Why Vaulnut

An IT department you own, not one that owns you.

Many IT companies keep the passwords and make leaving hard. We do the opposite, and we put it in writing.

  • 100%

    You own every account

    Every login, licence and password is registered to you from day one. Nothing is held back if you ever leave.

  • 24 hrs

    A written quote, fast

    One meeting, then a fixed monthly price per user in writing within 24 hours. No chasing.

  • 30 days

    A planned handover

    We take over from your old supplier in 30 days while your staff keep working.

  • 1

    Named account manager

    One person who knows your setup and answers for our work, with four plain-English reviews a year.

Sound familiar?

IT should not be anyone's side job

Small organisations without an IT team tend to hit the same four problems. Each one is fixable.

  • Nobody owns IT

    When something breaks, nobody knows whose job it is to fix it. So small problems sit until they become urgent ones.

  • Your most technical colleague is doing two jobs

    They were hired for something else. Every IT problem pulls them away from the work you actually pay them for.

  • Suppliers point at each other

    The broadband company blames the software. The software company blames the hardware. Meanwhile you are still offline.

  • You are not sure backups or security actually work

    Someone set them up years ago. Nobody has tested a restore since. That is not a backup strategy, it is a hope.

What we stand for

Connected. Smarter. Stronger.

Three ideas behind everything we do for you, and the services that deliver them.

Smarter

IT that is planned, not patched up.

A named account manager, a helpdesk your staff can reach, problems spotted before they stop work, and four plain-English reviews a year.

The alternative

One hire covers one person. We cover the whole function.

Hiring in-house

  • One salary, plus NI and pension
  • Holiday and sick leave with no cover
  • One person's skill set
  • One person's working hours

Vaulnut

  • A whole team with a range of skills
  • Cover when someone is on holiday or off sick
  • Security included, not bolted on
  • Systems monitored around the clock
  • One predictable monthly bill

Switching to us

How the handover works

A clear plan, week by week. Your staff keep working throughout.

  1. Week 1: We learn your systems

    We audit every device, account and supplier. We document what you have and flag anything urgent. Your staff meet the team who will support them.

  2. Week 2: We secure the foundations

    Patching, antivirus, multi-factor authentication and backup checks go in first. The basics get fixed before anything fancy.

  3. Weeks 3 to 4: We take over fully

    Monitoring switches on across everything. Your old supplier hands over access. Staff start using the helpdesk as normal.

  4. Then: We keep improving

    A named account manager reviews your IT with you every quarter, in plain English. Small fixes happen continuously. Bigger projects get quoted separately.

Plans

Three plans, priced per user

Every plan includes a named account manager and you own every account and password.
