Risk Management

This service allows you to narrow the potential attack surface and promote good practice within your organisation, leading to increased protections and assurance for you, your team members and clients.

Our Risk Management & Reduction service includes a number of component offerings, including Gap Analysis, Policy Development, Risk Assessment, Training, Simulation and Testing. Each of these offerings can be aligned to ISO 27000 series of standards, Cyber Essentials / CE+, NISD, NIST, national or Procurement Frameworks or a bespoke framework tailored to your organisation.

We will work with you work to design a service package that meets your needs, develops your organisation’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) and is tailored to your data processing and business practices.

Compliance Assessment

To remain competitive, organisations need to be sure that their internal operations, suppliers and products meet established and emerging cybersecurity standards. This becomes even more essential if they are using, or developing, cutting-edge tools.  

We can assess your organisation, or a specific information system, against information security standards, such as: 

 Our assessments will verify that you meet these standards or identify actions that need to be taken in order to demonstrate alignment. The resulting report will enable you to: 

• meet procurement requirements for large or public contracts;
• build trust with customers and clients;
• safeguard your organisations’ data and intellectual property.

Incident Management and Recovery

When a cyberattack happens, organisations are often taken by surprise and find that they are unprepared. They do not know what to do first or how to prioritise recovery actions.  

Our service will provide you with incident management support, including reporting, investigating and responding to the incident.  

However, preparation is the best form of defence. Our services also include: 

• Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify vulnerable systems; 
• System assessments and simulations to identify the potential impacts systems being compromised; 
• Disaster recovery and business continuity planning, including defining alternative communication channels and business practices to maintain operations; 
• Updates to your information security policies and procedures in line with lessons learned. 

These activities will build resilience against a cyber-attack minimising the impact on your operations, employees and customers. 

CISO Service

Some organisations do not have sufficient resources to invest in an information security team or need the additional layer of assurance offered by an expert team. 

Our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Service provides end-to-end coverage of information security requirements across an organisation. It includes information and awareness, regular monitoring and oversight, risk assessment and control implementation, simulation and testing, training and liaising with external stakeholders.  

With this service, your organisation will have access to a dedicated CISO and an experienced team who will work in partnership with you to reduce your risks and improve your practice. 

Training

Regular delivery of high-quality training is essential to developing staff members skills and commitment to protecting the organisation’s and customers’ data. It can transform your team into the first line of defence against data breaches and information security incidents. 

We can provide information security training programmes, including: 

• Induction sessions and annual refreshers, providing general information for your employees and contractors 

• Specialised training for employees with information security responsibilities. 

Our training packages can be offered in a variety of formats and tailored to your organisation. From general knowledge sharing to practical, tailored workshops, your employees will become confident in dealing with data responsibly.

Security (pen)testing

Information systems like websites, Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions and mobile applications expose your business to operational risk. Malicious actors invest in documenting and exploiting known vulnerabilities in systems, but organisations often find it difficult to keep up. 

Our vulnerability scanning and penetration testing services identifies weaknesses in networks and applications before external actors can take advantage of them. Our ethical penetration testers simulate attack scenarios by capable adversaries, identify control measures to close security gaps and undertake regular vulnerability scanning for ongoing monitoring and assurance. 

As a result, your organisation and customers will be better protected from the effects of a potential security breach. 

Risk Assessment

Organisations are responsible for ensuring their tools, products and suppliers meet appropriate information security standards (Cyber Essentials, ISO 27000x, NIST, etc.). However, this obligation can introduce significant knowledge and resource gaps, as each system needs to be assessed individually based on its data and use profile. 

Our security-by-design approach evaluates information security risks related to new or existing tools, systems or projects and identifies and recommends controls to improve protection. This includes assessments of third-party partners and suppliers during the procurement phase.  

By investing in risk assessments early, organisations meet security requirements more efficiently and have better assurance in cybersecurity across the organisation.

Simulations

When an attack happens, organisations are often surprised by the systems affected and the scale of the impact on their operations.  

Our service enables your organisation to test your policies, procedures and recovery plans using simulations and table-top exercises with staff. This will enable you to build resilience to an attack by identifying alternative communication plans, service provisions and internal protocols outside the stress of an actual event.   

Your organisation will be better prepared and have assurance that your Business Continuity Plans and Disaster Recovery Plans have covered all the bases to support efficient recovery.
