What is data encryption?
Data encryption scrambles your data to ensure it cannot be read and stolen from outside sources. It is an essential part of online security and incredibly important for businesses to protect personal data, work files, emails and more.
Keeping your business safe
Using ESET, a leading data security software, we’re able to provide a wide range of solutions to ensure your encrypted data is safe and secure.
There are two main types of encryption; symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption. Both options offer secure data protection but in slightly different ways.
Symmetric encryption
Also known as private key encryption, this method requires both the sender and receiver of data to have access to the same encryption key in order to decrypt the message.
Without the same decryption key, the receiver won’t be able to read or understand the data.
Asymmetric encryption
Also known as public key cryptography, this encryption process uses two separate keys; public and private. These are linked and one is an encryption key and the other is a decryption key.
Which type of encryption is right for your business? This depends on a number of factors which we can discuss with you to create the right solution for your data.
How to keep sensitive data safe
As a business there are many ways you and your staff can protect data and reduce your risk of data theft. Our team are experts in cyber security and can advise on best practice approaches in relation to our security services.
Dispose of old IT equipment properly
A lot of companies don’t consider what to do with old IT and computers once they’ve upgraded. It’s vital that you don’t just dispose of the old tech without completely wiping all data from them. At Woodstock IT we work with old computers and laptops to completely clear all data and refurbish IT systems for resale. Speak to our team to discuss your old IT before disposing of it.
Secure WiFi
When it comes to your business, ensuring all online solutions are secure is extremely important. This also includes your WiFi – you want to use a reliable and secure WiFi connection to reduce the risk of any external threats.
Antivirus and malware protection
Malicious software and viruses can cause serious harm to your business and day-to-day working life. Having up to date virus protection software will help ensure your computers are safe from harmful attacks. Our team can protect multiple computers at once, so you can rest assured your whole team is covered.
Backup and data recovery tools
If the worst case scenario happens and you find a threat has got into your system, backup and data recovery will give you peace of mind. Taking regular backups will mean any lost data can be restored quickly and easily. Without this in place, it can be extremely costly and time consuming.
Use strong passwords
Ensure your staff are using strong passwords across all areas of your business. This teamed with encryption software will ensure that external threats can’t easily access your systems and data.
Review who has access to certain data
It’s always worth considering how accessible your data is. If every single person in your organisation has access to all data, this can lead to a bigger risk of accidental data leaks or viruses gaining access. Review your current setup and see if there is a more secure way to store your data and who can access it.
Other IT security services
We offer a wide range of services that ensure your important business data is protected. From data encryption and antivirus software to penetration testing and dark web monitoring, we can help you keep your business safe online.

Catherine was amazing. We had taken in our laptop as we thought we had been hacked. We had. They cleaned everything up and Catherine explained very simply what we had to do and how to do it. So patient wigh us. Amazing lady
I had issues using Gmail as a business account and Woodstock recommended creating an Outlook account. I was apprehensive as I had a lot of stuff to migrate but Oliver was excellent. The migration was seamless and everything was done quickly at my convenience. So far I am super impressed with the service and am looking forward to having Woodstock's IT support in the future. I have piece of mind now.
I would highly recommend Woodstock IT. Excellent service. Their engineer Dave was very patient with me as I am a complete numpty as far as computers go . I am up and running with a new refurbished P.C.
Cat at Woodstock IT was very helpful, professional and patient with a "computer dinosaur." I was delighted with the whole experience.Many thanks.
Woodstock IT have just done another absolutely brilliant job for us. We have a holiday let cottage and our internet went down due to a storm. James came out to fix a 'bridge' between our house and the holiday let. As luck would have it we then had a power cut whilst he was here. Despite the lack of mains power he used a power source from his van and some very long leads to bring power to his diagnostic equipment and solved the problem. Excellent service!
Cat was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with the works we needed doing when transferring data from a very old laptop onto a newly refurbished one that we purchased from Woodstock IT. Excellent customer service and a tasty cup of tea whilst we waited! Thank you so much to Cat and the Woodstock Team!
These guys are absolutely on the ball - super efficient and knowledgeable. Can highly recommend for you business IT needs.
Woodstock IT always provide professional and efficient services. I would like to thank Jake for helping to sort out an urgent issue for me recently and thank the really friendly and knowledgeable team for all their help over the past few weeks. Merry Christmas.
Woodstock IT are fantastic, always very helpful and attentive whenever needed. Jake and Carl are just great and I would highly recommend them to anybody who requires IT based services. Thanks guys!
Carl came to our aid today as we were still having problems with the wifi dropping in and out. After accessing our router etc remotely we are now online and wifi working well.Thank you job, well done Carl
We had a user account hacked - through accidentally clicking on an unsafe link.Woodstock IT were brilliant. Dave Hearn called me first thing to run through the validity of the unusual login, within minutes of it happening and then he brilliant took care of absolutely everything, whilst the people within the business could just continue to do our normal jobs.Dave's attention to detail and provision of assurance that he had everything in hand, was a huge relief. After initially locking down the account, to ensure he would stop any potential issues, he even then spoke to our user directly to walk them through the full new login process again.IT Support is often the type of thing a business pays for and hopes to never have to use - but dealing with Woodstock IT and Dave this morning, absolutely confirmed that it is money very well spent.I couldn't possibly recommend the team highly enough!
I had a problem with my phone, so as I have been using Woodstock for many years for computer issues, they were my first thought. I called and arranged to drop off the phone at their workshop. A few hours later the lovely Cat rang to say it was all sorted. When I collected it, she explained what had happened and how she fixed it. The repair price was reasonable and I am very happy indeed. I can't recommend Woodstock highly enough.Sent from Sky Yahoo Mail on Android
A new computer was ordered from Woodstock IT. Dave Brenner delivered it on the arranged date. He then spent time ensuring that everything was working correctly. Dave was courteous and professional and we are very pleased with the new kit.
I have just had the most amazing service done on my laptop, by Dave Hearn. I could not praise Dave enough. He was fast, friendly and resolved all my issues whilst teaching me some very useful stuff. Thank you Dave!
Been using WOODTSOCK IT for several yrs now, my go to IT professional's. Today no different popped in -"CAT" resolve all the issues i had, truly great service from her. So good we have a local firm delivering a quality service. GREAT JOB " CAT"
Less than 20 mins with Jake at Woodstock IT fixed my Outlook access issue that was beyond Microsoft Support after a week, six emails and hours on calls. This firm's consistency across all my IT needs over more than five years is truly impressive. Highly recommended.
Woodstock came to the rescue recently when my PC crashed without warning. They were on the case immediately and eventually managed to recover everything as well as replacing the hard drive. Fantastic service, from a great team.
The Woodstock IT Support Team is an amazing, efficient and reliable IT service provider.I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to your incredible IT support team for their exceptional service in fixing my laptop.

I especially commend Carl and Cat as they provided excellent customer service at an affordable cost.I want to commend each member of your IT support team for your hard work and dedication.

Very appreciative of the support service given today. Thank you to Dave Hearn for his perseverance, and a successful outcome. Kevin Dixon
We have been using Woodstock IT for many years and they have always got us out of trouble, often at very short notice. Excellent service from all of the team there.
I Highly recommend using Woodstock IT, and have done for years.Jake sorted my PC out for me again and it works perfectly
Laptop Repair.I've used Woodstock for many years, so when my elderly laptop had an issue I had no hesitation in taking it to them. As usual, they were very helpful and solved the problem within one working day.Highly recommended.
These guys went above and beyond what they needed to do. My father’s Samsung PC was not working correctly so after a recommendation from a friend I called Woodstock IT. My father is 101 years old so he could not deliver the computer to Woodstock (I am about 150 miles away) so they picked up the computer, updated it, got it running smoothly again and even replaced the keyboard which was an odd US style one. They returned the computer to my father and made sure he was total happy with it before returning to their offices. It is great to find a company that really cares about their customers. I’d recommend them to anyone.
At very short notice Woodstock IT worked with us to address a number of identified CE Plus vulnerabilities and worked in a highly professional and responsive way meeting the changing demands for resolution. We could not have asked for more from them. They showed very high levels of technical ability and commitment to help us achieve our goal in a very short timeframe. I would particularly like to thank Carl Burchell for his tireless work across the 14 machines requiring attention and his patience with the constant changes required.I would recommend Woodstock IT to anyone looking for professional IT Services provision.
Can’t thank Woodstock enough lately, Dave, Oliver, Adam, Jake and the entire team have really helped me get out of some very stressful IT related situations recently.No question is ever too silly for them!I always feel like whenever I phone they always have the time to help me, whether that be remotely or in the workshop.Highly recommend this company for all your IT needs
Have used Woodstock for several years and always had excellent service, no job is too big or too small and concentrate on fixing your problem rather than massaging costs. On collecting my machine after a hard drive upgrade from their excellent and knowledgable engineer Jake, my car became stuck in a flooded entrance to their site due to heavy rain and their General Manager no less, Joachim, used his own car to pull me out, wow, this is customer service above and beyond what you would normally expect! Have no hesitation in entrusting all your IT requirements to Woodstock, you won't regret it.
Woodstock IT are one of the best companies I have had the privilege I have appointed to look after my IT needs, they are customer focused and deliver a service that is second to none.As for value, their prices are very completive, the staff are extremely friendly, and nothing is too much trouble for them.Due to a disability, they never question about taking up tasks either remotely or by visiting my home.I have been using Woodstock for several years and can truly say they look after all my IT needs and have even helped from time to time with my smart gadgets.Defiantly one of the best 3rd party contractors I have ever used.Tony Walsh
The team at Woodstock IT have been nothing short of fantastic in their support, expertise, help and above all their friendliness since we started working with them in 2017. They've been one of the most valuable constants through the last couple of years and have supported my business with their continued knowledge and ideas as we continue to flex and change to our new ways of working. Keep on being awesome Team Woodstock!!
Took my laptop in for an urgent re-build and received first class service from Jake at Woodstock IT. The job was completed quickly and I received regular updates on progress. I would highly recommend this company for its technical knowledge, expertise and customer service.
Usual superb service from Woodstock IT . Instant attention via remote support for email reconfiguration. Confident and humourous, the process made a joy of an IT glitch which was way North of my pay grade! Thank you Jogi!!! (Or however you choose to spell you name).Price was entirely reasonable for this level of service
Once again, I'd like to thank Woodstock IT and especially Jake. He has spent inordinate periods of time to sort out two issues relating to Windows 11 updates. Working remotely I could see how many routes he had to take to solve the problems with great patience. Many thanks.
Just a shout out to the team at Woodstock IT - and especially the mighty Jake Spurrier in the workshop - for the supply and seamless data exchange from one MacBook Air to a shiny new one. MD Julian even opened up on a Saturday so we could get our mitts on it for urgent work over the weekend. Five star service as usual!
I contacted Woodstock IT because I was having trouble sending emails. I tried contacting my web hosting company and tried Microsoft and neither of them were able to identify or solve the issue. Within an hour or my initial contact with Woodstock, I had the support team on the phone remotely accessing my laptop, and the issue was identified and resolved. The team are so friendly and knowledgeable. I would not hestitate to recommend them to others, both for personal and business support. Thank you Woodstock IT.
I am always so pleased when I contact Woodstock IT as they immediately act to help with any problems that arise. They are a friendly bunch always quick to offer support and advice. they are nearly always on hand to sort out many problems.
I have used Oliver at Woodstock over the last 3 months with various obscure issues relating to SharePoint migration, MS Project, One Drive and Microsoft Office. Each time he has been systematic and thorough in finding and resolving the problems. Great expertise and a pleasure to work with.
Employing Woodstock IT was one of the best decisions I made for my start-up company. The quality of customer service and attention to detail is at a level that I have rarely come across in the UK. Tom, Oli and Jake have all gone the extra mile (including outside of normal working hours) to ensure that the IT systems of the business are secure and functioning to the optimum. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Excellent service from Woodstock as always. Carl sorted out a difficult problem for me, but easy for him, very quickly with curtesy and professionalism. Thanks! Linda
Problems with different e mails Resolved!Carl arrived very promptly helped resolve an e mail problems on all 4 computers as well as my mobile phone for my business, very professional service, definitely would recommend
Always excellent service. Quick to respond and sort problems. A pleasure to deal with. Thank you Oliver and Carl for your continued support and expert knowledge.
Our company has been using Woodstock IT Horsham for seven years and we cannot sing their praises more highly. We have always had first class service from them: there is nothing they cannot set up, fix, or repair. Joachim (their General Manager) has been coming out to us since we first used them and he is absolutely brilliant: his IT knowledge is endless, he is professional and polite, and a really lovely bloke too. Whether you are corporate or domestic, do not look anywhere else: use Woodstock and you will never look back.
Been using Woodstock IT for a few years now. Buy hardware from them which comes will good, honest, reliable advice and no insurance selling! Use them annually for general advice and to ensure my PC is working 100% as it should. Highly recommend this company to individuals as well as companies. No job is treated as too big or too small. Really friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy staff.
Being a non-techie, when it came to needing to upgrade my aging laptop, I could have gone into a retail outlet and been bombarded with technical stuff by staff who earn commission on sales.Instead I preferred to ask the professionals for their opinion about what I needed and for them to source the hardware. Having previously used Woodstock IT for servicing, they were the obvious choice. They provided a solution and quoted me the price for the hardware and for the data transfer and setting up the new system. They are the experts and I fully trust their expertise. Excellent service from the team.
Brilliant service by James,solved all our problems very quickly and very professionaly.Would highly recommend this company.
The staff is so friendly and they did a perfect job , it's the team you can trust for a job
Always there to help or advise. Very professional and everything is sorted out without delay. Thank you.
