01732 759725 6 BULLETIN BULLETIN Nick Haley Recognition for Little Big Tech Little Big Tech has become the first MSP in the country to be independently verified across both its security controls and its service operations, earning the new Assurix trustmark. Assurix is a UK trustmark awarded to MSPs that can prove their security and operational controls are working continuously, giving SMEs an independent way to verify their provider. The company chose to put itself through a process designed to give its clients something the MSP industry has never had – continuous, externally verified proof that what an MSP says it does is what it actually does, day to day. The Assurix assessment requires an MSP to pass all 64 controls covering both security maturity and operational maturity, with the status suspended publicly if standards slip. Founder Mit Patel, a former MSP managing director, designed the scheme to close the gap between what MSPs claim and what they can prove. Nick Haley, Founder and Managing Director of Little Big Tech said: “Our clients trust us with their entire security operation. They deserve more than our word that it’s working. They deserve independent proof. We chose to be first because this is the bar every MSP should be held to. Our clients now have something no other UK SME has, a continuous, externally verified signal that their MSP’s controls are working.” www.littlebigtech.co.uk CBS named IT Solutions Specialist of the Year CBS has been named IT Solutions Specialist of the Year 2026/27 at the Yorkshire Prestige Awards.
