What SilvaTech Solutions does

SilvaTech Solutions Ltd. is a privately held, founder-led managed security services provider (MSSP) headquartered at The Generator Hub in Exeter, United Kingdom. Founded after July 2022 by Technical Director Liam Glanfield, the firm operates with a team of three to four cyber security professionals and targets UK small and medium-sized businesses that lack in-house security capability. Its positioning is "security-first technology support" rather than generic managed IT, integrating security into every layer of service delivery rather than offering it as an add-on.

The company's product portfolio spans five core service lines: a subscription-based Managed Security Service built on the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (with Intune, Microsoft Defender for Business, M365 backup, password management, and remote monitoring); accredited Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification delivered through its IASME/NCSC-licensed Certification Body status; NCSC-assured Cyber Advisor gap analysis and remediation; cyber security strategy consulting on a one-off or retained basis; and penetration testing covering network, application/API, cloud, hardware, and red team adversary emulation. A recurring Cyber Essentials Support Subscription, priced from £220 per month for micro organisations, bundles certification fees, vulnerability scanning, consultancy, cyber liability insurance, and compliance reporting into a single monthly fee. Distribution is sales-led and direct, with website content marketing, SEO, and referral/consultation channels driving top-of-funnel demand.

SilvaTech holds UKAS ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications alongside its NCSC Cyber Advisor and Certification Body accreditations, and has been shortlisted for the Exeter Living Awards 2024 (New Business) and the National Cyber Awards 2025 (SME Consultancy of the Year). The firm is bootstrapped, with no disclosed external investors, and counts Somerset County Cricket Club as a publicly named Official Partner. Customers are otherwise described generically as UK SMB and mid-market organisations across multiple sectors, with no public case-study references.
