CONSULTING SERVICES
Practical, fixed-scope engagements for households, families and small businesses. Plain English, clear deliverables, and 20 years of security operations thinking behind every recommendation.
WHY MACKIE AI
I spent two decades in security operations — designing networks, hardening infrastructure, running threat assessments, and advising boards on risk. I've seen the gaps that attackers exploit and the mistakes that well-meaning businesses make every day.
This consulting practice exists because most households and small businesses can't access that level of thinking at a price that makes sense. These engagements are fixed-scope, plainly priced, and built around what you actually need — not what fills a day rate.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Both. Home and family reviews usually benefit from an on-site visit in West Sussex and Surrey. Small business reviews can often be completed remotely with a video call.
You receive a written report within 5 working days. For small businesses, there's an optional follow-on into ServiceSignal for ongoing monitoring. There's no obligation and no upsell pressure.
Yes. The scope is agreed before any work begins and the price is fixed at that point. If something is out of scope we tell you — we don't bill extra without agreement.
Primarily Horsham, Crawley, Guildford, Brighton and the wider West Sussex and Surrey area. Remote engagements are UK-wide.
