IT support & cyber security in Rotherham
Dacros is your outsourced IT department for Rotherham businesses: proactive support, hardened cyber security, and the networks and phones behind them. One accountable partner, one predictable monthly plan.
Technology support for Rotherham businesses
Dacros works with businesses across the UK. Most of the work is done remotely, and on-site work is by arrangement. That includes businesses in Rotherham and nearby, such as Maltby, Dinnington and the S60 to S66 postcodes.
Whether you are a Rotherham office of a handful of people or an organisation across several sites, the groundwork is the same: security settings switched on from day one, devices and backups monitored, and every change written down. The plan is then sized and priced to the business you actually run.

Sector-specific IT support in Rotherham
Much of the work looks the same whoever you are. Where a sector brings its own software, its own compliance rules or its own busy periods, we shape the plan around that, including logistics & transport, retail & shops and hospitality & restaurants.
Local help for Rotherham businesses
Rotherham is in Rotherham Council's area, in South Yorkshire. These are public services and local business bodies that any Rotherham business can use, whoever looks after its IT; Dacros has no connection with any of them.

Business support in Rotherham
Rotherham Council helps with starting and developing a business, with start-up advice through an online request form and help to find office, industrial and retail premises. It says the Templeborough Business Zone, between Sheffield and Rotherham, will have six managed workspace units. The South Yorkshire Growth Hub helps businesses find support with skills and training, finance, innovation, exporting and starting up; its Skills Bank programme is funded by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, which brings together Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. Each of the four councils runs the Business Productivity and Digitisation Grant Scheme for its own area.

Broadband in Rotherham
The centre of Rotherham is in the Rotherham constituency. In Ofcom's figures for January 2026, full fibre was available to 96.2% of premises there, homes and businesses together, and gigabit-capable broadband to 98.6%, while 0.4% could not get 30 Mbit/s. Across the Rotherham borough the figures were 94.7%, 96.7% and 0.6%. Business premises often lag behind: across England, 70.9% of business premises had full fibre, against 82% of homes. Ofcom's checker shows what your own address can get, so you can tell whether a slow connection is the line or the equipment.

If a scam or a cyber attack reaches the business
Rotherham Council warns that scammers may pretend to be the council or its partners: its genuine staff carry ID, and it will never ask for bank details or an administrative fee for a council tax refund. To report a rogue trader, the Citizens Advice consumer helpline, 0808 223 1133, passes reports on to Trading Standards, and Business Companion, from the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, has a free guide to scams aimed at businesses. If the business loses money or is hacked through a scam, report it to Report Fraud, the police service that replaced Action Fraud, online or on 0300 123 2040, Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm. Forward a suspicious email to report@phishing.gov.uk and a suspicious text, free, to 7726. The NCSC's Where to report a cyber incident service says who else you need to tell, and a personal data breach that puts people at risk must reach the ICO within 72 hours of your becoming aware of it.
