IT is often only part of somebody's job
The person dealing with IT may also be running operations, finance, facilities or the business itself. They need the answer quickly, not another console to learn.
Correlta for Small & Medium-Sized Businesses
Keep on top of IT without spending your week inside IT tools.
Correlta helps small and medium-sized businesses see which devices need work, where security or Microsoft 365 needs attention, whether backups are running and which services are failing — then go straight to the detail behind it.

Why SME IT gets messy
IT grows one system at a time. Somebody still has to work out what actually needs attention.
A few laptops become dozens. Microsoft 365 ends up running email, files and day-to-day work. Security, backup, websites and support all get their own tools. Before long, the person responsible for IT is spending more time checking systems than fixing anything.
02
The important checks live in different places
Patching, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365, backups, websites and support all sit in different places. One can look fine while another has a problem waiting to be found.
03
Outsourced IT still leaves you with questions
You may have an IT provider doing the work, but you still need to know what is happening, what needs a decision and whether something important has been missed.
04
Start with what needs doing
Correlta shows you what needs attention first, then lets you open the device, account, backup, website or service behind it.
The questions worth answering quickly
What needs attention today?
You should not need five supplier logins to answer a simple IT question. Correlta helps you get from the question to the thing that needs work.
Which laptops and PCs are behind on updates?
See overdue and critical updates, reboot requirements and devices where patch information has stopped reporting.
Are we paying for licences nobody is using?
See licence assignments alongside account activity and find stale users that may still be consuming paid Microsoft 365 licences.
Who still has access through old groups?
Review users, groups and memberships so leavers and role changes trigger a clear access check.
What is being shared outside the business?
See public links, external recipients and sharing access, then follow it back to the user, group or link behind it.
Are the devices we rely on actually protected?
See which devices have an endpoint protection problem without assuming that a patched device is automatically protected.
Would we find out about a failed backup or website problem early enough?
See backup warnings, website or certificate issues and service availability problems before somebody has to report them to you.
What we would show you
The day-to-day checks, without the tour of every supplier portal.

Devices & patching
Find the machines that actually need work.
See the devices you manage, who they belong to and where patching needs attention. Go from the company list to the individual machine without exporting a spreadsheet first.
- See overdue and critical updates when that information is available.
- Spot devices waiting for a reboot.
- If device or patch data is old or missing, Correlta says so.

Estate → update attention → individual device
Microsoft 365 users, groups & licences
Find stale accounts before they keep costing you money.
See your Microsoft 365 user and group directory, which licences are assigned to each user and when people last signed in. A stale user can still be carrying a paid licence, so you have a practical list to review before you renew or buy more seats.
- Search users and groups and see the memberships behind access.
- See which Microsoft 365 licences are assigned to each user.
- Flag users who have not signed in recently and review whether the account and licence are still needed.
Before you buy another licence, check the ones you already have.
If a stale account is still holding a paid licence, you may be able to reassign it instead of buying another, or reduce your licence count when your subscription terms allow.

Directory → stale users → assigned licences → user detail
Microsoft 365 groups & sharing
See who can get to shared files — including access through groups.
See files shared outside the business, public links, external recipients, edit access and shares with no expiry. Follow access back to the user, group or sharing link that grants it so the review is about who can actually get to the file.
- Review groups and memberships when people join, leave or change roles.
- See external and public sharing, who can access it and how.
- Spot broad or old sharing decisions that deserve another look.

Endpoint security
Know which devices need security attention, not just whether the licence exists.
See which devices need security attention and what problems are being reported, then go straight to the affected device rather than working from a separate security report.
- See devices where protection needs attention.
- See patching and endpoint security separately, with each status clear in its own right.
- Use the device detail when somebody needs to fix the problem.

Protection status → current attention → affected device
Backups, websites & support
Catch the boring problems before they become expensive ones.
See backup warnings, website and certificate problems, service availability and recurring support issues in the same place you check the rest of IT. You can still open the detail when something needs investigating.
- See backup failures or old backup information before you need a restore.
- Spot website, certificate and service problems.
- Use support history to see when the same issue keeps coming back.

Small-business cyber security
Email, devices and backups are business systems now.
The National Cyber Security Centre's guidance for small organisations focuses on securing email and important online accounts, protecting devices, backing up data and spotting attacks. Those are everyday business jobs, not just IT department jobs.
Correlta brings the signals from those security controls into a clearer operational view, showing where tools are flagging a problem, where information is incomplete and what needs checking next.
Different people, different questions
Give the person fixing IT the detail. Give the business the answer.
Owner / Managing Director
Know whether there is an IT problem that needs your attention, a decision or budget — without learning every tool your business uses.
Operations / Finance
See where recurring support, ageing devices, backup problems or service issues are turning into business cost or disruption.
Internal IT
Get from the warning to the affected device, account, backup or service faster, without repeating the same checks across several portals.
Businesses with outsourced IT
Use the same information in conversations with your IT provider so the discussion starts with the problem and what happens next.
Common questions
What smaller businesses usually want to know.
Do we need a full-time IT manager to use Correlta?
No. Correlta can be useful whether IT sits with one internal person, a small team, an outsourced provider or a mix of all three.
We are only a small business. Is this overkill?
It depends on how much IT you have to keep track of, not just headcount. If devices, Microsoft 365, security, backups and support are already easy to manage, you may not need another tool. If a simple answer means checking several systems or asking several people, that is where Correlta starts to become useful.
Does Correlta replace our IT provider, Microsoft 365 or security tools?
No. Correlta works alongside the specialist systems you already use. It gives you a simpler way to find and explain the information that matters.
Can Correlta help us cut Microsoft 365 licence costs?
It can show licence assignments alongside account activity so stale users with paid licences are easy to review. That can help you reassign licences before buying more, or reduce the licence count when your subscription terms allow.
Can we start with one problem rather than the whole platform?
Yes. Start with the thing that wastes time today — patching, Microsoft 365, external sharing, endpoint security, backups, website health or support — and add other modules when they are useful.
Start with the question
If the answer takes five systems to find, bring us that one.
Which devices need patching? Are we paying for licences nobody uses? Who is sharing files outside the business? Which backups need attention? Give us the question and we will follow it through Correlta with you.
