Service 07 — Cyber security

Secure the estate,
then prove it.

Buying security tools is not the same as being secure. We deploy and tune the controls, audit them against ISO requirements, test them the way an attacker would, and hand your board a report they can act on — not a 200-page scan dump nobody reads.

Information security tool deployment.

Most organisations already own more security licences than they have switched on properly. We deploy, configure and tune so the controls actually block what they were bought to block.

T/01

Zscaler & secure web gateway

Zero-trust internet access, SSL inspection, URL and application control policies. Rolled out by user group in phases so a misconfigured rule never takes the whole workforce offline on a Monday morning.

ZIA / ZPASSL inspection
T/02

Fortigate & Cisco ASA

Next-generation firewall deployment, segmentation, IPS tuning and rule-base cleanup. Most estates carry hundreds of legacy rules nobody will delete — we identify what is genuinely unused and retire it safely.

NGFWSegmentationRule audit
T/03

VPN & remote access

Site-to-site and remote-access VPN, with MFA and device posture checks before a tunnel is allowed. Split-tunnel policy set deliberately rather than inherited from whoever configured it first.

MFAPosture check
T/04

MDM & endpoint management

Enrolment, policy baselines, encryption enforcement, app whitelisting and remote wipe across laptops and phones. Separate profiles for corporate and BYOD devices so personal data stays out of scope.

Intune / JamfBYOD split
T/05

Data loss prevention

Classification, policy design and rollout across email, endpoints and cloud storage. We start in monitor mode so you see what would have been blocked before anything is blocked — which is how DLP avoids being switched off in week two.

Monitor firstClassification
T/06

Sandboxing & threat analysis

Detonation of unknown attachments and downloads before they reach a user, integrated with mail gateway and endpoint. Verdicts fed back into firewall and proxy policy so the same payload is blocked everywhere.

Mail & webFeedback loop
Offering 02

ISO external security audit.

An independent assessment of what is actually configured, not what the documentation claims. Findings come ranked by exploitability and business impact, with a fix owner suggested for each.

A/01

Security device audit

Firewalls, proxies, VPN concentrators and switches reviewed against hardening baselines — default credentials, unused rules, weak ciphers, missing patches and logging gaps. The findings are usually about drift, not design.

A/02

Application security audit

Authentication, session handling, access control, input validation and secrets management reviewed across your web and mobile applications, mapped to the OWASP Top 10 and your own data classification.

A/03

Penetration testing

Black-box, grey-box or internal, scoped and rules-of-engagement agreed in writing first. Each finding comes with a reproduction path your developers can follow, not just a severity label.

A/04

Detailed reporting

Two documents, deliberately. An executive summary your board reads in ten minutes, and a technical annexe your engineers work from. Evidence attached to every finding so nothing is disputed later.

A/05

Vulnerability management

A running programme rather than an annual scan — asset inventory, scheduled scanning, risk-based prioritisation and remediation tracking. Retest included, because a finding is not closed until it is verified closed.

A/06

Disaster recovery

Backup integrity, restore testing, RTO and RPO validation and incident runbooks. Most organisations discover their backup problem during a restore — we would rather you discover it during a rehearsal.

Offering 03

Security consulting.

For organisations that have the tools and the findings but need a direction. We work alongside your IT leadership rather than handing over a document and leaving.

Discuss your posture

Security consulting

Posture assessment, control gap analysis against ISO 27001 and your regulator's expectations, and a prioritised roadmap costed in effort rather than licences. Written for a CFO to approve, not only for a CISO to admire.

Prioritised, costed, owned

Service improvement plan

A quarter-by-quarter plan with named owners, measurable exit criteria and a review cadence. The point is to close findings on a schedule rather than carry the same open items into next year's audit.

Quarterly, measurable

Security enhancement

Hardening what you already own before buying anything new. Identity and access review, privileged account cleanup, logging and monitoring coverage, and network segmentation that reflects how the business actually operates today.

Tune before you buy

AI integration

Two sides of the same problem. Using AI in security operations — alert triage, log correlation, anomaly detection — and securing the AI your own business is adopting: data exposure through prompts, model access controls and shadow AI usage across departments.

AI for security, and security for AI
How an engagement runs

Four stages, evidence at each.

Nothing is touched in production without a written rules-of-engagement document and your sign-off.

STAGE 01

Scope & rules of engagement

Assets in scope, testing windows, escalation contacts and what is explicitly off-limits — agreed and signed before any tooling is pointed at your estate.

STAGE 02

Assess

Configuration review, scanning and manual testing. Critical findings are reported the day they are found rather than held back for the final report.

STAGE 03

Report & walkthrough

Executive summary plus technical annexe, delivered in a session where your team can challenge each finding and agree who owns the fix.

STAGE 04

Remediate & retest

We support the fixes where you want us to, then retest and issue a closure statement. An open finding stays open until it is verified.

Mutual NDA signed before scoping. Findings are shared only with the contacts you name, and all evidence is destroyed on an agreed schedule after closure.
Before you call

Common questions.

Ask something else

One to three weeks of testing for a typical web application or network segment, plus a week for reporting. Scope drives it more than anything else — we will size it after a short scoping call rather than quoting blind from an asset count.

Testing is scheduled in agreed windows with your operations team on standby and a stop condition defined in advance. Where the risk of disruption is real — legacy systems, fragile integrations — we test a staging replica and say so rather than taking the chance.

Yes, and plenty of clients ask us to. Where independence matters for a certification audit, we will tell you when the fixing work should sit with a different party — that is a judgement worth making openly rather than quietly selling through.

Next step

Start with what
you already own.

Forty-five minutes with a security consultant. Bring your current tooling list and your last audit findings — we will tell you where the quickest risk reduction is, and it is often not a purchase.
