A significant piece of UK legislation is making its way through Parliament – and if your business uses an IT support company, it matters to you directly. The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill passed the House of Commons on 10 June 2026 and received its first reading in the House of Lords on 17 June. Peers are due to debate its principles at second reading on 14 July 2026, with Royal Assent expected later this year.
When it comes into force – implementation is expected to be phased through to 2028 – it will do something that has not happened before in UK law: it will place IT companies like ours under direct government regulation.
What Is This Bill?
The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill updates the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018.

The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will put IT companies under direct ICO regulation for the first time. Here is what UK businesses need to know and why your choice of IT provider now matters more.

On Sunday 31 August, tens of thousands of businesses sat down to work and found that Microsoft 365 simply would not let them in. Email stalled, Teams calls dropped, files in SharePoint and OneDrive were unreachable, and even the admin console IT teams would normally use to investigate was down. It lasted more than twelve hours, and it was the third significant Microsoft 365 outage of 2026, after similar incidents in April and June.

If your business runs on Microsoft 365, and most UK businesses now do, it is worth taking half an hour to think about what you would actually do the next time this happens. Because there will be a next time.

Ask yourself honestly:

- If your email stopped right now, how would your customers reach you, and you them?
- If nobody could log in, would your phones still work, or do they run through Teams?
- Would your team know what to do, or would they simply sit and wait for it to come back?

Microsoft 365 went down for 12+ hours on 31 August 2026. What to do during an outage, what it costs, and how to keep your business running next time.

If your business holds a Cyber Essentials certificate, or you have been thinking about getting one, there is something you need to know. The rules changed in April 2026, and the goalposts have shifted enough that businesses renewing their certification could now fail on things that were previously fine.
Here is what changed, why the timing still matters, and what you should do next.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme run by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It checks that your business has five core security controls in place: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. Holding a certificate shows you have done the security basics correctly, and it is required by many government and public sector contracts. It is also increasingly expected by larger clients as a condition of working together.
What happened in April 2026?

New MFA rules mean businesses can fail Cyber Essentials automatically from April 2026 - and the ICO has now linked CE to GDPR compliance. Here is what to check.

Most business owners know they need a cookie consent banner on their website. Fewer are aware that the maximum fine for getting it wrong has jumped from £500,000 to £17.5 million.
That change came into force on 5 February 2026 as part of the Data (Use and Access) Act – the biggest overhaul of UK data protection law since UK GDPR was introduced. The Act also introduced new rules around cookies that businesses need to understand, including some helpful simplifications alongside a sharply elevated risk for those who fall short.
What changed under PECR
PECR – the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations – are the rules that govern cookies, direct marketing emails, and electronic communications. They sit alongside UK GDPR but cover a different area: where UK GDPR focuses on how personal data is collected and processed, PECR focuses specifically on privacy in electronic communications and online tracking.

UK cookie consent fines jumped from £500,000 to £17.5 million in 2026. Three new exemptions apply, but the stakes for getting it wrong are much higher. Here is what UK businesses need to check.

A serious security flaw in the heart of WordPress is being exploited by attackers right now. If you run a WordPress website, for your business, your clients, or any other purpose, you need to check whether it has been updated, and check it today.
What has happened
Researchers discovered and published details of a critical vulnerability chain in WordPress Core in July 2026. Given the nickname “wp2shell” by the security community, it allows a completely unauthenticated attacker, someone with no account on your site and no special access, to execute their own code directly on your web server.
The attack works by chaining two flaws together. The first (CVE-2026-63030) exploits a confusion in how WordPress’s REST API routes incoming requests. The REST API is the behind-the-scenes interface that WordPress uses to serve data to apps, mobile integrations, and the block editor, it is active on virtually every modern WordPress site by default.

A critical unauthenticated flaw in WordPress Core (wp2shell) is being actively exploited. UK businesses running WordPress should update to version 6.9.5 or 7.0.2 immediately and check for signs of compromise.

A critical vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server – patched back in May 2026 – is now being actively used in ransomware campaigns. If your SharePoint environment has not been updated since the spring, you may be exposed right now.
What has happened
In May 2026, Microsoft released an out-of-band security update to fix CVE-2026-45659, a high-severity remote code ex*****on vulnerability in SharePoint Server. “Out-of-band” means it was released outside Microsoft’s normal monthly patching cycle – which is significant, because businesses that only apply the standard monthly updates may have missed it.
Patch Tuesday is the name for Microsoft’s regular monthly security updates, released on the second Tuesday of every month. Out-of-band releases go out whenever a flaw is serious enough not to wait. CVE-2026-45659 was considered serious enough.
The vulnerability scores 8.8 out of 10 on the CVSS severity scale and works by exploiting how SharePoint handles certain types of incoming data.

Ransomware groups are actively exploiting a critical SharePoint Server vulnerability patched in May 2026. Here is what happened, who is at risk, and how to check your patch status now.

Sustainable Growth Begins with the Right Systems
Sustainable growth is not driven by ambition alone. It depends on systems that adapt as businesses evolve. Many organizations expand faster than their technology can support. As a result, performance slows, costs rise, and decision-making becomes unclear. Growth without structure creates strain rather than value.
SystemForce helps businesses grow with confidence. Scalable technology provides clarity, stability, and control at every stage of expansion. When systems evolve alongside strategy, growth becomes intentional and resilient. This is where technology shifts from a support function to a true business enabler.
Why Technology Must Evolve with Business Growth
Growth introduces complexity across operations, finance, customer engagement, and governance. Systems that once worked well can become bottlenecks. Manual work increases. Data becomes fragmented. Leaders lose visibility.

Discover how SystemForce delivers scalable technology solutions that support sustainable growth and long term business performance.

Introduction
The digital operations model is redefining how modern businesses function. Organizations no longer compete on products alone; they compete on speed, visibility, and ex*****on. Traditional operational structures struggle under growing data volumes, remote teams, and rising customer expectations. As complexity increases, inefficiency follows. In this landscape, organizations that can adapt quickly will thrive.
SystemForce helps businesses transition to smarter operations through a structured and integrated digital operations model. This approach connects people, processes, and technology into a single operational ecosystem. When operations become digital by design, businesses gain clarity, resilience, and performance that scales. By harnessing advanced technologies, companies can position themselves ahead of their competitors.

Why Cheltenham and Gloucester Companies Are Struggling With IT Downtime and What It Is Really Costing Them
The Growing Downtime Crisis Across Local Businesses
Across Cheltenham and Gloucester, leaders rarely anticipate how fragile daily operations become when technology falters. Cheltenham companies and Gloucester companies depend on digital systems for communication, finance, logistics, and customer engagement. Yet persistent it downtime continues to interrupt workflows and undermine performance. These disruptions often start quietly as slow systems, inaccessible platforms, or intermittent outages that compound into significant operational losses.
Modern organisations function in an environment where even brief interruptions cascade across departments. Employees cannot access tools, customers encounter delays, and decision makers lose visibility into performance. Consequently, businesses discover too late that resilience measures were insufficient for real world pressures.

Why Cheltenham and Gloucester companies suffer costly IT downtime and how to prevent disruption to business profitability.

Modern businesses face pressure from every direction. Markets shift fast, customers expect speed, and regulations tighten. Technology now shapes how strategy succeeds or fails. This is where tailored IT consulting becomes a strategic advantage rather than a support function.
Instead of forcing your business to fit generic systems, tailored IT consulting aligns technology with your goals, operations, and growth plans. It connects strategy to ex*****on with clarity and control. When done right, it turns IT from a cost center into a driver of measurable value.
Why Strategy Without Technology Alignment Falls Short
Many business strategies fail during ex*****on. The reason is rarely vision; the problem is misalignment between strategy, systems, and people.
Misalignment Issues
Technology often evolves in silos. Departments adopt tools independently, leading to fragmented data, rising costs, and stalled productivity.

Discover how tailored IT consulting aligns technology with your goals to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth with SystemForce IT.
