Monthly Spotlight: Cyber Incident Response – Your Playbook to Stay in Control.

Not if. When. 

That’s the uncomfortable truth about cyber threats. It’s not just about if your business will be targeted. It’s about when and how well you’ll respond when it happens. Whether it’s ransomware, a phishing attack, or a compromised account, breaches are no longer rare. And when one hits, the chaos doesn’t just live in your IT team. It hits operations. Legal. HR. Comms. The Board. 

So, the real question is: Are you ready to respond? 

Many companies think they’re covered with the right tools or a responsive IT partner. But without a strategic, tested incident response plan, even small breaches spiral into major business crises.  

If your first time figuring out who does what is during an attack, it’s already too late.

Our Approach:
Prepare. Plan. Respond. Close. 

Our incident response playbook gives you the structure, steps, and strategy we use with clients across the UK to get cyber-ready — and respond with confidence. Whether you have an internal IT team, or rely on an MSP like CloudClevr, this process applies to everyone. 

We’ve based it on the UK’s NCSC guidance — but made it clearer, faster, and built for real-world businesses.

Customer Story: Red Kite Learning Trust

Customer Speaks: Red Kite Learning Trust

£100K saved. 14 schools integrated. One Clevr move.

Red Kite Learning Trust – a multi-academy trust with 14 schools, nearly 10,000 students – had a common problem: disjointed, ageing telecoms across multiple sites. Managing dozens of systems, contracts, and providers? Chaos.

The fix? A unified telephony platform from CloudClevr.

We rolled out an Avaya IP solution across all schools, backed by MPLS tech for bulletproof resilience. Add mobile plans on a flexible shared tariff, 24/7 support, and a single point of control — and they now run smarter, faster, and cheaper.

The impact: 

  • £100K+ in savings over 5 years 
  • Fully centralised, future-proof platform 
  • Seamless cross-site, agile, and remote communication 
  • A single point of contact and central billing
  • Ready for growth — new schools plug straight in 

“CloudClevr has transformed communications across Red Kite. We now have a unified system that delivers real savings and makes onboarding new schools effortless.”

David Burns, Trust IT Manager. 

One Trust, one solution, zero hassle.
That’s Clevr.

Clevr Coverage. No Gaps.

Clevr Coverage: No Gaps.

Think you’re fully patched? Think again.

Most security breaches start with unpatched third-party apps like Zoom, Adobe, Chrome, and Dropbox. If you’re not updating them regularly, you’re exposed.

Our Managed 3rd Party Patching service keeps critical apps secure, updated, and aligned with Cyber Essentials standards.

✅ Automated updates 
✅ Compliance-ready reporting 
✅ No more manual patching 

Secure more than just Microsoft. Patch everything. Stay protected. 

Modern Voice, Made Easy

Many of our customers have trusted us with their voice and telephony systems over the years — including Mitel and Avaya. But technology and the way we work have changed dramatically.

Now, cloud-based telephony like Zoom is helping smart organisations improve flexibility, reduce costs, and scale effortlessly. Whether you’re preparing for growth, enabling hybrid teams, or simplifying future change — modern voice makes it easier. 

We’ve partnered with Zoom to bring you exclusive, competitive pricing you won’t get anywhere else! No inflated license costs – Just a smarter, faster path to modern voice.
Simple. Strategic. Stress-free. 

It’s modern voice, made easy.
That’s Clevr.

Windows 10 Support is Ending – Are You Ready?

Windows 10 Support is Ending – Are You Ready?

Windows 10 reaches end-of-life on 14 October 2025, meaning no more security updates, patches or support from Microsoft. If your organisation is still running Windows 10 devices, the time to act is now.

Most existing machines won’t support Windows 11 — but we can help you make the smartest move forward. From compatible hardware to modern cloud desktops and DaaS bundles, we’ll help you plan your next step with clarity and confidence.

Business Mobile, Made Clevr

Business Mobile, Made Clevr

Managing mobiles across your business shouldn’t be a full-time job — so we made sure it isn’t.

We partner with every major UK network — O2, EE, Vodafone, Three and more — to bring you unified billing, tailored packages, and full control.

Here’s what you get: 

  • Tailored packages – SIM-only, multi-network, roaming, or fully bespoke

  • One central bill – no more bill shock, no more guesswork

  • Total control – full transparency, zero surprises

  • Dedicated support – not just another call centre queue

  • Secured devices – with mobile device management built to protect your data 

o2 - EE - Vodafone - Three

One provider. One point of contact. One less thing to worry about.
That’s Clevr.

Industry Intel: What’s the Latest?

Industry Intel: What’s the latest?

Microsoft Build 2025: Copilot levels up 

Microsoft announces Copilot Tuning, which lets you train Copilot on your company’s data, language, and tone. Rolling out in June for enterprises with 5,000+ licenses (for now).

Also announced: Multi-agent collaboration, securing AI agents, and agentic AI updates. Translation? Smarter, safer AI that’s custom-fit for scale. 

NHS tightens the screws on cybersecurity

The NHS just dropped a Cyber Security Charter for suppliers. The message is loud and clear – patch, monitor, and lock it down.  

The charter demands MFA, 24/7 monitoring, full visibility into critical systems, and rapid recovery plans. If you’re in the public sector supply chain (or want to be), cyber resilience isn’t optional — it’s expected. 

Screen grabs in MS Teams? Not anymore 

In July, Microsoft Teams will let organisations block screen captures during meetings — a serious upgrade in protecting sensitive content.  

Users on unsupported platforms? They’ll be downgraded to audio-only. This is your cue to review your collaboration tools and tighten compliance.

That’s all from us in this edition.
