South West firm Westspring IT is ready and prepared to address the major technology challenges their clients, and businesses everywhere, will face in 2026.

2025 has been a year of growth and development for the company. Through expanding its expert in-house team and range of client services, WestSpring IT has gained invaluable insight into what the future could hold for businesses in the new year.

Emma Carter, Chief Executive, says the business has seen clients return due to the personal understanding and tailored support WestSpring IT provides

She said, “At a time when many smaller MSPs (managed service providers) are being swallowed up by much bigger entities, we are seeing clients return to us when they realise they are part of a treadmill, part of a process and not seen as individual, valued clients.”

The biggest threat for the majority of businesses across the country continues to be cybercrime.

There have been high-profile cases of data breaches across the UK in 2025, with M&S experiencing a major cyber-attack and Jaguar Land Rover experiencing a serious a data breach.

However, WestSpring IT warns that it’s not just a concern of big businesses, as the cyberattack on London-based nursery, Kido, demonstrates.

Emma added, “Cybersecurity protection is not just for large conglomerates. It is smaller businesses as well. Everyone can be affected.

“Cybersecurity breaches are incredibly damaging events. Should your data be attacked, there will be repercussions on businesses, families and yourself. What we aim to provide is a mitigation of this. The fear of cyberattacks from businesses is akin to the 2010s coding fear and the millennium bug.”

Westspring IT is already hearing from businesses seeking support for cyber breaches. With the threat set to increase in 2026, tailored security is key.

Emma continued, “You can’t do cyber security as a tick box exercise. Should you do that, your insurance may not cover all damages.

“At WestSpring IT, we’re not afraid to call in other professionals. We are collaborating with experts who specialise in data management to support and protect clients even more. We take tech incredibly seriously and are always looking for ways to protect people.”

WestSpring IT provides strategic managed IT solutions, with service excellence a priority, establishing long-lasting partnerships with businesses in the UK.
