Managed IT support in Edinburgh
Foxcomm provides managed IT support to Edinburgh businesses from our London headquarters. Microsoft 365, cyber security, cloud and a 24/7 helpdesk, delivered remotely so help is minutes away, with an engineer sent to your Edinburgh site whenever it is needed.
The IT pressures facing Edinburgh businesses
Edinburgh’s financial, legal, charity and events sectors each carry their own regulatory and seasonal demands.
A major financial centre
Edinburgh is one of the UK’s main financial centres. Fund managers, banks and insurers must meet FCA operational resilience and data protection expectations.
Scottish legal regulation
Solicitors in Scotland are regulated by the Law Society of Scotland, so technology and confidentiality controls need to reflect that rather than only English and Welsh guidance.
Charities and public bodies
Scottish charities report to OSCR, and many handle sensitive donor and beneficiary data that needs careful protection.
Seasonal festival peaks
The festivals each August bring surges in temporary staff, devices and WiFi demand for hospitality and events businesses.
Universities and research
Edinburgh’s universities and research organisations need secure collaboration and careful handling of research data.
Phishing and hybrid working
Mixed office and home working widens the attack surface, which makes email security and staff awareness essential.

Edinburgh IT support questions
Straight answers to what businesses in Edinburgh ask us most.
Do you have an Edinburgh office?
Foxcomm is headquartered in London and also has offices in New York and Berlin. We have no Edinburgh office, but we cover the city: support comes through our 24/7 helpdesk and remote tools, and we send an engineer to your site whenever a visit is needed. Our work for Cafe Rouge already covers sites in Edinburgh, London and Manchester.
Do you support Scottish law firms?
Yes. We support legal practices and understand that solicitors in Scotland are regulated by the Law Society of Scotland. We map technical controls to your obligations. This is not legal advice.
How quickly will you respond to a problem?
Our average ticket response is 15 minutes and the helpdesk is staffed 24/7. Critical incidents are escalated straight away to a senior engineer.
Does UK GDPR apply to Scottish businesses?
Yes. UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply across the UK, including Scotland. We build data mapping, access controls and breach workflows into daily IT operations.
Can you support seasonal or temporary staff?
Yes. We set up and remove accounts and devices quickly, so seasonal teams get secure access and are cleanly offboarded when they leave.
We already have an IT provider. How do we switch?
We manage the transition, including liaising with your current provider and collecting the documentation. We will walk you through each step first, and plan any changes around your working calendar.
