BACKGROUND

When business growth starts to expose IT gaps

Cyber attacks targeting UK SMEs are on the rise, and businesses without a managed IT provider, are at serious risk. Volta Charge Points, a fast-growing electric vehicle charging company, faced this challenge head-on. Here’s how Bellcom transformed their IT infrastructure and security posture and positioned them for Cyber Essentials Certification.

CHALLENGE

Risks on the horizon

Before partnering with Bellcom, Volta had:

  • No managed IT provider
  • A Google Workspace environment lacking advanced security and compliance features
  • No advanced cyber security measures
  • No mobile device management or identity protection
  • Limited staff cyber security awareness

The Founder, Chris, knew these gaps could lead to downtime, data breaches, and compliance issues.

THE SOLUTION

One managed IT setup built around security and control

Volta brought Bellcom in to take full responsibility for its IT infrastructure and cyber security. The first step was moving the business from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 under Bellcom's Managed IT Service plan, giving the team a more secure and manageable foundation without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Once the migration was complete, we tightened security across the wider environment. That meant stronger identity controls, better protection across devices and email, and clear policies around who could access what. We also brought mobile devices under management so lost or stolen hardware could be controlled remotely.

Just as importantly, we worked on the human side of cyber security. Staff received awareness training, while Bellcom took on the ongoing monitoring, maintenance and support needed to keep the environment secure as the business continued to grow.

What we put in place

  • Microsoft 365 migration and management
  • Configured advanced security policies, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and compliance settings
  • Enterprise-grade EDR protection
  • Advanced email security and phishing protection
  • Centralised identity and access management
  • Mobile device management with encryption and remote wipe
  • Cyber security awareness training
  • Proactive monitoring and management
  • Unlimited remote and on-site IT support

Migration outcome

  • Zero downtime
  • No data loss
  • Proactive management and monitoring
  • Unlimited remote and on-site technical support
GETTING CERTIFIED

Building towards Cyber Essentials certification

With these measures in place, Volta Charge Points is now fully prepared to achieve Cyber Essentials certification, a UK government-backed standard that demonstrates strong cyber security practices. This certification will further enhance their credibility and reassure customers that their data is protected.

THE OUTCOME

Safer systems, stronger control and IT that can keep pace

Volta Charge Points now has a more secure, scalable IT environment, with threats proactively managed and Microsoft 365 helping the team work more effectively. They also have predictable IT costs, ongoing managed IT support and Cyber Essentials certification.

WHY BELLCOM

Why Volta handed us the whole IT setup

Volta’s setup is a familiar one for growing SMEs: the business had moved quickly, but its IT, security and compliance hadn’t kept pace. By bringing Bellcom in to manage the full environment, Volta gained stronger protection, clearer ownership, predictable costs and access to specialist expertise without building an in-house IT team.
