About Abersecure
Abersecure provides managed IT support and cyber security services for businesses across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Built on extensive engineering experience, the company combines day-to-day IT support, Security by Default and a structured approach to managing business technology.
Why Abersecure Was Created
The idea behind Abersecure began after its founder read about the 2025 cyber attacks on Marks & Spencer and Co-op. Both organisations were targeted just days apart using very similar social engineering techniques, but their responses were very different.
Co-op detected the suspicious activity quickly and started responding almost immediately. Marks & Spencer did not detect the breach until around two days later, giving the attackers more time to move through its systems. M&S later estimated around £300 million in lost profit.
That was where the idea for Abersecure came to life. Its founder saw that businesses across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire could face the same problem, while Emergency IT Support and Incident Response were often treated as separate subscriptions. In some cases, support would first need to be arranged during the incident itself, when the organisation was already under pressure and unexpected IT costs could quickly become another concern.
Abersecure was built around a different IT support model: Security by Default, 24/7 Emergency IT Support and Incident Response are built into Managed IT Support, giving managed customers a clear response path before an incident happens. Read the original analysis of the M&S and Co-op incidents.
19+ Years of IT and Cyber Security Engineering Experience
Abersecure is built on more than 19 years of hands-on IT and cyber security engineering experience, including previous work supporting business technology across 27+ countries.

Today, that experience is applied to businesses across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, combining day-to-day IT support with proactive management and a structured approach to protecting and improving the technology organisations rely on.

How We Work
Structured IT Management
We manage business IT through a structured approach focused on stability, documentation and controlled change. Systems are reviewed, maintained and improved through repeatable processes designed to keep technology reliable and easier to manage.
Security by Default
Cyber security is built into the environments we manage from the start. Identity protection, endpoint security, network controls and monitoring are treated as part of day-to-day IT management rather than separate afterthoughts.
Clear Technical Ownership
Businesses should know who is responsible when something needs attention. We document changes, explain decisions clearly and maintain a defined escalation path so issues are handled with clear technical ownership from day-to-day support through to specialist response.
Who We Support in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Abersecure supports businesses across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire that rely on stable, secure IT to operate day to day. Managed IT Support is designed for organisations with around 5 to 250 users that need ongoing support, monitoring, security and management of their IT environment. As a client grows, Abersecure can scale the level of support with them as their users, devices, locations and technical requirements increase.
Smaller businesses or organisations that do not need a fully managed service can use Pay As You Go IT Support for technical assistance when required, without committing to an ongoing managed support agreement.
The industries Abersecure supports include professional services, engineering and industrial businesses, construction and trades, hospitality, charities and other service-based organisations across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
The Principles Behind Abersecure
Trust and Accountability
We build trust through clear communication, honest advice and accountability for the work we deliver. Businesses should understand what is happening in their IT environment and who is responsible when something needs attention.
Proactive Thinking
We look for problems before they become disruption. Monitoring, maintenance and planned improvements are used to reduce risk and keep business technology stable rather than waiting for issues to appear.
A Better Client Experience
IT support should be easy to access, clear to understand and focused on resolving issues properly. The aim is to make technology easier for businesses to manage, not more complicated.
