Cyber security support, shaped around real business needs

Practical, proportionate cyber security support for small and medium-sized organisations.

For many organisations, cyber security doesn’t appear as a single, clearly defined problem. It tends to surface gradually — through questions from customers, concerns from insurers, changes in how the business operates, or a growing sense that systems and dependencies have become more complex over time.

Often, the challenge isn’t a lack of effort. It’s a lack of structure.

Security responsibility can be unclear, decisions are made in isolation, and improvements happen reactively rather than deliberately. Over time, that makes it difficult to know whether the organisation is genuinely becoming more secure, or simply responding to the latest issue.

Our services are designed to help organisations step back, understand their position, and improve security in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and appropriate for how the business actually runs.

How we think about cyber security support

Cyber security affects organisations in different ways — through leadership decisions, day-to-day operations, external expectations, and everyday behaviour.

Rather than treating security as a single activity or checklist, we structure our services around a small number of domains that reflect how security needs to function in practice.

Some organisations engage with us in one of these areas. Many require support across several. For most, progress is best made when these areas are coordinated rather than addressed in isolation.

Managed CyberOps

Managed Cyber Operations

For many organisations, the challenge isn’t a lack of technology — it’s a lack of clear ownership, prioritisation, and follow-through.

Managed Cyber Operations provides an ongoing cyber security function, led by senior security leadership and supported by day-to-day operational coordination.

It helps organisations:

  • Establish clear responsibility for cyber security

  • Make informed decisions about risk and priorities

  • Coordinate security activity consistently

  • Improve security steadily rather than sporadically

For many businesses, this replaces uncertainty with control.

Instead of wondering whether risks are being missed or actions are being followed up, there is a clear point of accountability month to month. That continuity is what allows security to improve over time.

Security Leadership & Governance

This domain focuses on helping organisations make sense of cyber security at a leadership level.

It supports:

  • Clear responsibility for cyber security

  • Understanding risk in business terms

  • Setting direction and priorities

  • Making informed decisions over time

The aim is not to introduce unnecessary process, but to ensure security decisions are reasoned, proportionate, and aligned with how the organisation operates.

Security Leadership & Governance
Assurance, Compliance & Confidence

Assurance, Compliance & Confidence

This domain supports organisations that need to demonstrate security to others — such as customers, partners, insurers, or regulators.

It includes:

  • Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus

  • ISO 27001 and structured assurance

  • Audit preparation and evidence management

The focus is confidence: knowing expectations are being met without turning security into a box-ticking exercise detached from reality.

 

Assurance, Compliance & Confidence
Operational Security Foundations

Operational Security Foundations

This domain focuses on the everyday practices that quietly reduce risk when they are managed consistently.

It covers:

  • Visibility of assets and systems

  • Vulnerability management and remediation tracking

  • Secure baseline configurations

  • Ongoing attention to core security hygiene

These foundations are rarely visible when they’re working well — but they underpin almost all effective cyber security.

Operational Security & Risk Control
Threat Detection, Response & Resilience

Threat Detection, Response & Resilience

This domain addresses how organisations detect issues and respond when something goes wrong.

It supports:

  • Early detection of security issues

  • Incident response planning and coordination

  • Calm handling of incidents

  • Learning and improvement afterwards

The aim isn’t to assume incidents will happen, but to ensure the organisation isn’t caught unprepared if they do.

Threat Detection, Response & Resilience
Security Culture, Supply Chain & Enablement

Security Culture, Supply Chain & Enablement

This domain recognises that risk doesn’t sit only in technology.

It focuses on:

  • Day-to-day behaviour and awareness

  • Supplier and third-party risk

  • Practical tools and frameworks that support consistency

Good security is reinforced by habits, expectations, and clarity — not just controls.

The domains above represent the full scope of how we support organisations with cyber security.

Whether a concern is strategic, operational, technical, or behavioural, it will sit within one or more of these areas. Some organisations engage with us around a specific need; others bring these domains together through Managed Cyber Operations.

The purpose of this page is not to list every activity or deliverable, but to show how cyber security support fits together in practice — and where support is typically needed.

If you’re unsure where a particular concern fits, that uncertainty is often a useful starting point for a conversation.

Some organisations come to us with a clearly defined requirement. Others want help understanding their overall position.

Most engagements begin with a conversation rather than a predefined package. From there, support may focus on a single domain or evolve into a broader Managed Cyber Operations model as needs change.

The emphasis is always on proportion, clarity, and steady improvement.
