Compliance is a requirement.
Until it’s a crisis.

You have probably heard of the certificates – Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, PCI DSS. Maybe you got asked for one in a security questionnaire from a prospect, or an existing customer. Perhaps an insurer raised an eyebrow.

Then the quotes arrived from a cyber security consultancy: a six-month programme, three consultants, a project manager, and a massive reading list waiting for you at the end. The thing is: most of that is overhead, not required work.

Senior-Led Execution

Cyber Security Consultancy. Zero Agency Overhead.

Certification is a finite set of controls, evidenced and submitted. When it’s done by one senior person who has passed it multiple times before over decades, on a clock that matters, it closes in a fraction of the quoted time.

But compliance is just paper if the architecture underneath it is hollow. We don’t just write policies; we build the perimeter and setup the guard towers. From on-site network hardening and firewall configuration to emergency incident response if a failure actually happens. We build the defenses designed to survive an attack, not just an audit.

Cyber Essentials

Certified before your deadline. Comfortably.

Most businesses reach for Cyber Essentials the week a contract suddenly depends on it – done it solo, end-to-end, on exactly that kind of clock. Whether you need the standard self-assessment or the audited Plus tier, scoped, evidenced and submitted, we have you covered without a six-week onboarding.

PCI DSS

It isn’t optional. It’s the floor.

If money moves through your checkout, PCI DSS is not optional. Delivered solo for multiple years, for a business that could not afford that gap.

We will scope the right SAQ and fix what fails it to get you compliant without re-architecting the things that already work.

ISO 27001

ISO 27001 without the theatre.

ISO 27001 has a terrible reputation for swallowing most of a year, but most of that year is meetings.

What it actually needs is a gap analysis, an information security management system that fits how you really operate, the right policies written to be used rather than filed, and genuine readiness for the certification audit. This can be done in weeks, not quarters.

Security & Support

Secure by Design. On Site When It Counts.

A certificate proves a point in time, architecture decides whether you keep it. We scope and build the real thing, in your building when it matters: secure network setup, endpoint and firewall configuration, access control, and the staff training that stops the failures no firewall catches.

We offer support, security and training services. You can get an itemised specification for a complete overhaul before any work begins, or/and ongoing support to keep it all secure & certified.

Compliance Audits

Find it before they do.

Not every business needs the full certificate yet, some just need to know exactly where they stand before a customer audit, a renewal, or a board question they cannot answer.

A forensic look at where you comply and where you do not, and what closing the difference actually costs.

Emergency Response

Active Threat Mitigation & Repair.

We have been on the frontline when automated firewalls failed against evolving attacks. AI defences fail confidently; they can look impenetrable right up until the moment they aren’t. If you are under active assault, you need someone who understands what is happening under the hood, and not a plugin.

We step in with immediate triage: deploying custom WAF rulesets to kill malicious traffic at the edge, executing mid-crisis migrations, and repairing the breach. Like a field medic, we stop the bleeding first, then harden the architecture so the same thing doesn’t happen again.

One person. The whole estate.

Securing certification in weeks rather than months is not rushing, it’s just what happens when the person scoping the work is the person doing it and knows what they are doing: no handoffs, no juniors, no account manager turning your problem into a brief and then turning that brief back into a problem.

We look at the whole estate before recommending a single fix, as in our experience, the cheapest certificate is the one you do not have to redo next year.

What you will not get here.

No fluffy report with a reading list and a fee. No six-month programme. No certification advice with nobody accountable for the actual pass.

We are not the cheapest quote in the room, but we take full ownership and we do not take on work for businesses unwilling to act on a clear recommendation, as certification only holds if you are willing to change something.

AI will write your security policy in seconds. It won’t mention it left the door open.

Find out where you stand.

Most enquiries start with a deadline: a tender, a renewal, a questionnaire that needs answering this week. A short call is usually enough to tell you which certificate you actually need, how long it genuinely takes, and whether the timeline you have been quoted is honest.

Commonly Asked Questions

Do You Really Guarantee Outcomes?
On eligible projects, yes. A specific commitment with a defined consequence if we miss it. That is not a marketing line, it is what confidence looks like when it is willing to be measured. Not every project qualifies, and we will tell you honestly whether yours does.
For e-commerce and lead generation projects with clear commercial upside, we work at near cost in exchange for a share of the additional revenue we generate. We take a stake in the result because we are confident enough to bet on our own work. It is not offered to everyone. It needs a viable business, a real opportunity, and a straight conversation first.

Plenty of security work has to happen in the building: configuring firewalls, securing the network, setting up machines, training the people who actually click the links. We travel for that. Remote where it makes sense, in person where it matters.
Yes, on retainer. Certification lapses, threats move, and staff turn over. Ongoing support keeps the controls in place between annual renewals, handles incidents when they come, and means the person who built your security is the person who maintains it. No ticket queue. No stranger relearning your estate every time.
Both. Alongside client work we build and sell our own tools, like custom systems for e-commerce, with more in development. The same standards apply: built properly, supported directly, and made to do one job well rather than ten jobs badly.
