Most businesses don’t need fear – they need clarity. We run a structured security assessment to identify real risk (not noise), prioritise fixes, and give you a practical improvement plan. If you need Cyber Essentials (or Cyber Essentials Plus) for tenders, insurance, or customer assurance, we’ll help you get the right basics in place and support you through the process.
Common reasons clients come to us:
Tender or customer requirement for Cyber Essentials / CE+
Concern about ransomware and account compromise
No clear view of risks across devices, access, and cloud services
Too many “admin” accounts and weak sign-in controls
Need a prioritised plan and evidence for stakeholders
Security assessment (current state review across users, devices, access and key systems)
Risk register and prioritised remediation plan (what to fix first and why)
Practical policy and process guidance (only what you’ll actually use)
Remediation support (implementing the agreed improvements)
Cyber Essentials readiness support (gap close + evidence pack)
Optional: Cyber Essentials Plus preparation support (additional technical checks and readiness)
Documentation and handover (so you can evidence what’s in place)
Typical project flow:
Assess (where you are today)
Prioritise (what matters most)
Fix (implement improvements)
Evidence (prove and maintain the controls)
Note: Cyber Essentials is based on 5 technical control areas (like access control, secure configuration, updates, malware protection, and firewalls).
A security assessment identifies practical risks and control gaps across your environment and gives a prioritised fix plan. A penetration test is a specific technical test of exploitable weaknesses. Many SMEs need assessment + remediation first; testing comes after fundamentals are solid.
The things that typically lead to real incidents: sign-in and access controls, admin accounts, device security baseline, patching approach, email risk, sharing/permissions, and how you’d respond if something happened. Scope is agreed up front.
No. You’ll get clear findings, a prioritised action plan, and what “good” looks like. The goal is progress, not paperwork.
By impact and likelihood. We focus on controls that reduce risk quickly (account takeover, ransomware exposure, unpatched devices), then move to deeper improvements.
Yes. We can deliver the remediation as a project or transition it into managed services so the improvements stick.
Cyber Essentials is a UK-backed scheme that demonstrates you have key baseline security controls in place—often required for tenders, supplier assurance, or customer confidence.
No honest provider should “guarantee” without seeing your environment. What we do is reduce uncertainty: we close gaps, prepare evidence, and get you to a pass-ready position. However, as long as required any remediation is carried out we guarantee a pass.
Yes. Microsoft 365 is central to most businesses; we include review and improvement of sign-in and sharing controls where in scope.
A short scoping call. Then we run discovery, confirm scope, and produce a clear plan with options (quick wins vs full remediation).
