Our Services
We offer comprehensive security assessment and testing services directly and through our partners to meet almost every business need.
Cyber Essentials
This is an assessment process that identifies your level of exposure to a wide variety of the most common cyber attacks. It is important because vulnerability to basic attacks can mark you out as a future target for cyber criminals.
Cyber Essentials shows you how to address vulnerabilities and prevent the most common attacks. Certification gives you peace of mind that defences are ready to protect you against the vast majority of cyber attacks. Typically these attacks are looking for targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials recommended processes in place.
Cyber Essentials Plus
This follows the same standards as Cyber Essentials but it is independently assessed, giving you the additional benefit of independent approval from a cyber security expert. This not only provides you with the reassurance that you have implemented government- recommended security measures, but also demonstrates you are a reliable partner.
Cyber Essentials plus starts with a verified self assessment questionnaire but also includes a technical audit of your systems to check that the requisite controls are in place.
