Know Your Risks Before Attackers or Regulators Find Them First
Independent security assessments, penetration testing and compliance gap analysis — delivered by a team with 15 years of international IT security experience.
SECURITY GAP ANALYSIS
A Security Gap Analysis gives you a clear picture of where your current security posture falls short — before a breach, audit or insurance renewal exposes it for you.
- Security Posture Assessment — comprehensive review of your existing controls, policies, technical configuration and staff practices against industry best-practice frameworks
- Cyber Essentials Gap Analysis — identify exactly what needs to change for your business to pass the UK Government Cyber Essentials certification
- ISO 27001 Readiness Assessment — gap analysis against the full ISO 27001 standard with a prioritised implementation roadmap
- GDPR Compliance Review — audit of your data handling practices, privacy policies, consent processes, data subject rights procedures and breach response capability
- Cyber Insurance Readiness Assessment — review of your security controls against the requirements of leading UK cyber insurers, identifying gaps that affect your coverage or premium
- Network Architecture Review — assessment of firewall rules, network segmentation, remote access controls and wireless security configuration
- Security Risk Register — documented risk assessment with likelihood, business impact and remediation priority for each identified risk
- Remediation Roadmap — a prioritised, practical action plan with clear steps and timelines for addressing identified gaps
VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT & PENETRATION TESTING (VAPT)
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) goes beyond scanning — we test whether your vulnerabilities can actually be exploited, giving you evidence-based insight into your real-world risk exposure.
- External Network Vulnerability Assessment — automated and manual scanning of all internet-facing IP addresses, services and applications to identify exploitable weaknesses
- Internal Network Vulnerability Assessment — scanning of your internal network infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities that an insider or attacker who has breached your perimeter could exploit
- External Network Penetration Test — ethical hacking of your perimeter to test whether identified vulnerabilities can be exploited to gain unauthorised access to your systems
- Internal Penetration Test — simulated insider attack to test how far an attacker could move through your network once inside
- Web Application Security Testing — manual and automated testing of your web applications against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerability categories including SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass and access control failures
- Phishing Simulation Exercise — targeted simulated phishing campaign against your staff to measure real-world susceptibility and provide baseline metrics for your security awareness programme
- Wi-Fi Security Assessment — testing of wireless network configuration and security controls
- VAPT Report — formal written report including executive summary, technical findings, evidence, risk ratings and specific remediation recommendations, suitable for board presentation or regulatory submission
ONGOING COMPLIANCE SUPPORT
One-time assessments identify the gaps — ongoing compliance support keeps you on track.
- Cyber Essentials Certification Support — guided preparation and submission support for both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification
- ISO 27001 Implementation Support — hands-on guidance to implement the controls, policies and procedures required for ISO 27001 certification, drawing on our UAE experience delivering ISMS implementations for government and commercial clients
- GDPR Ongoing Advisory — retained support for data protection queries, privacy impact assessments and regulatory updates
- Quarterly Security Reviews — scheduled review meetings to track progress against the remediation roadmap and update your risk register
- Board-Level Security Reporting — executive-ready reports that communicate your security posture and compliance status in plain English, without technical jargon
Our UAE operations have designed and implemented ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems for government and commercial clients since 2009. We bring that same rigour and real-world implementation experience to UK SMEs — at a fraction of the cost of a Big Four consultancy.
