CYBER SECURITY THAT EARNS TRUST.
Senior security and compliance expertise, without the overhead of a large firm. We help you get certified, pass procurement, and protect what matters.
Grow your business and expedite procurement.
We bridge the security trust gap by delivering the certifications buyers demand, the operational controls to back them up, and expert security leadership to keep your data posture audit-ready at all times.
Practical, senior, and independent. We start from what you need to achieve, not a generic checklist, and build security your team can sustain long after we leave.
Cyber Essentials and certification
Get certified and open the procurement conversations that need the badge. We prepare you for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, then support recertification year on year so the certification never lapses.
Penetration testing
Independent security testing that finds the problems before someone else does. Web applications and APIs aligned with the OWASP Top 10, internal and external infrastructure, and cloud configuration reviewed against recognised benchmarks.
Virtual CISO
Senior security leadership on retainer, without the cost of a full-time hire. Board-level reporting, ownership of the risk register, and hands-on delivery of the security roadmap.
Security architecture
Practical security design that holds up. Zero Trust aligned with NIST 800-207, identity and access modernisation, passwordless and FIDO2, and cloud security done properly.
Incident response
Be ready before an incident and supported during one. A retainer with a defined response time and named responders, plus tabletop exercises for the board, IT, and business lines.
Security awareness
Turn your people into your strongest line of defence, with phishing simulation and training tailored to your industry and risk. Culture, not a tick-box.
What’s the difference?
- Self-assessment-based certification
- Validates five core technical controls
- Assessed via a structured questionnaire
- Provides baseline assurance
This demonstrates that fundamental cyber-hygiene is in place and helps protect against the most common cyber threats.
- Includes everything in Cyber Essentials
- Adds independent technical verification
- Hands-on testing of your systems by an external assessor
- Provides a higher level of assurance
Cyber Essentials Plus offers greater credibility with customers, partners, regulators and procurement frameworks because it validates that controls are operating effectively in practice.
And beyond Cyber Essentials? ISO 27001 certifies a complete information-security management system rather than a fixed set of controls. We treat them as steps on one path, so the evidence and effort behind your Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus badges carry forward toward ISO 27001 when a contract calls for it.
FROM CYBER ESSENTIALS TO ISO 27001.
When a contract calls for it, we take you from Cyber Essentials through to ISO 27001, with the evidence designed in from the start rather than bolted on at the end.
Senior practitioners only, no junior staff billed at senior rates. Lean overhead and honest pricing. Fixed fees where the scope is clear. Compliance by design, with risk registers, evidence, and audit trails from week one. Independent, with no vendor lock-in and no kickbacks.
Do we need Cyber Essentials?
If you sell to larger organisations or the public sector, you’ll often be asked for it. Cyber Essentials is the UK baseline that shows the fundamentals are in place, and it’s frequently a procurement requirement. We prepare you for it and keep it current.
What’s the difference between Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001?
Cyber Essentials certifies a set of technical controls and is quick to achieve. ISO 27001 certifies a full information-security management system and takes longer. We treat them as steps on one path, so the work done for one counts toward the next.
Can you act as our CISO without a full-time hire?
Yes. Our virtual CISO service gives you senior security leadership on retainer: board reporting, risk ownership, and delivery of the roadmap, scaled to what you need.
How do you price cyber work?
Fixed fees where the scope is clear, and a retainer where you need ongoing cover. We tell you the cost before we start, with no lock-in.
