Consultants reviewing technology performance reports in a meeting

Overview

Full IT consulting, managed cloud, and managed security

Our consultants start with your objectives, not a product list. We assess your current environment, identify risk and waste, then design a roadmap that improves reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

From there we can run it for you. We manage cloud platforms across Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, and deliver managed security including vulnerability assessment, hardening, monitoring, and incident response.

Whether you are modernizing legacy systems, migrating to the cloud, tightening compliance, or preparing for growth, you get clear recommendations and hands on ownership through delivery and beyond.

  • Vulnerability assessment and remediation

Questions & Answers

IT Consultancy FAQs

Common questions we are asked before starting a it consultancy engagement.

What does a MarkKings Group IT consultancy engagement include?

We start with an assessment of your systems, cloud environment, and security posture, then deliver a prioritised roadmap covering quick wins, budgeted projects, and long term architecture. Implementation support and managed oversight are available once the roadmap is agreed.

Do you provide cybersecurity assessments and ongoing protection?

Yes. Our cybersecurity offering covers vulnerability assessments, identity and access reviews, endpoint and email hardening, backup and recovery validation, security awareness guidance, and continuous monitoring with defined escalation paths.

Which cloud platforms do you manage for clients?

We manage Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud with Google Workspace. Management covers tenant and account administration, identity and access, patching, backup and recovery, monitoring, security hardening, and monthly cost and licence optimisation.

Can you manage a multi cloud or hybrid environment?

Yes. Many clients run Microsoft 365 for productivity alongside workloads in Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud plus on premise systems. We document the whole estate, standardise identity and backup, and report on cost, risk, and performance in one place.

How do you handle compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, or HIPAA?

We map your current controls against the framework you need, produce a gap register with owners and effort estimates, help write the required policies, and prepare evidence so your audit is not a scramble.

Can you work alongside our existing IT team or provider?

Absolutely. Many engagements are advisory: we bring independent architecture, security, and vendor expertise while your internal team or managed provider keeps day to day operations running.

How quickly can you respond to a security incident?

Clients on a support agreement reach a senior engineer through an agreed escalation channel, and we follow a documented containment, investigation, and communication process. Response targets are set in your service agreement before work begins.

How is IT consultancy priced?

Assessments and roadmaps are fixed price based on environment size. Ongoing advisory and managed security are monthly retainers scoped to users, sites, and coverage hours, so costs stay predictable.
