> Defence and engineering suppliers around the naval base in Portsmouth are often asked about cyber security, from MFA to device encryption and patching. dijitul helps them answer remotely from Mansfield, and supports hospitality and tourism businesses too. Site visits are quoted first. Plans cost from £25 a month + VAT; ad-hoc support is £45 an hour + VAT.

Portsmouth is the UK's only island city, built mostly on Portsea Island, and its economy has been tied to the Royal Navy for centuries. His Majesty's Naval Base Portsmouth is home to a large part of the surface fleet, including the aircraft carriers, and a big defence supply chain has grown around it. BAE Systems carries out ship support work at the base, and many smaller engineering, electronics and marine businesses supply the defence sector.

Heritage and tourism are closely linked to that history. The Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, with HMS Victory, HMS Warrior and the Mary Rose, is a major attraction, and the Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays outlet centre draw large numbers of shoppers and visitors. Southsea adds a seafront, independent shops, cafés and an active evening economy.

Portsmouth International Port runs ferry services to France, Spain and the Channel Islands, and Wightlink ferries connect the city to the Isle of Wight, supporting freight, travel and logistics businesses. The University of Portsmouth is one of the city's largest employers and brings a large student population. Lakeside North Harbour, near the M27, is the city's main office park, and Queen Alexandra Hospital is another significant employer.

Typical IT and website needs in Portsmouth:

- Defence and engineering suppliers are often asked about cyber security, so MFA, device encryption, patching and Cyber Essentials readiness come up regularly.
- Hospitality and tourism businesses need fast, mobile-friendly websites, booking systems and guest Wi-Fi.
- Logistics and ferry-related businesses need dependable connectivity and secure email for customs and shipping documents.
- Student-focused businesses and landlords need simple, well-maintained websites and tidy shared inboxes.

We support all of this remotely, so it does not matter whether you are in Southsea, Cosham or out at North Harbour.
