Cyber security services,
built around you.
From getting Cyber Essentials certified to testing how your systems hold up under attack, we help businesses build real, working cyber security, not just a checklist.
Cyber Essentials
A UK Government-backed self-assessment certification, showing clients, partners and stakeholders you take cyber security seriously.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Builds on the basics with an independent, hands-on technical audit, giving extra assurance that your controls hold up in practice, not just on paper.
Cyber Insurance
Specialist cover underwritten by Hiscox, up to £1,000,000, on top of the free £25,000 policy included with Cyber Essentials.
Penetration Testing
We test your systems the way a real attacker would, monthly from £150 or as a one-off, then give you a clear report on what to fix and how.
Vulnerability Assessment
Monthly or annual scans that catch outdated software and missing patches before they're used against you, with a clear, prioritised report.
Prevention, testing, and a financial backstop.
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus prove your defences hold up, one a self-assessment, the other independently audited. Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing keep checking in between certifications, not just once a year. Cyber insurance covers you financially if an incident still gets through. Most businesses need some combination of these, not just one.
1. Start with Cyber Essentials
A straightforward, affordable self-assessment covering the five technical controls most attacks actually exploit. The right starting point for almost every business.
2. Step up to Cyber Essentials Plus if you need it
The same five controls, independently audited rather than self-assessed. Worth it if a client, tender or insurer specifically asks for the audited level.
3. Keep checking with vulnerability assessments
Monthly or annual scans that catch outdated software and missing patches between certifications, not just once a year.
4. Go further with penetration testing
A simulated real attack on your systems, showing exactly how far someone could actually get and what to fix, monthly or one-off.
5. Add cyber insurance either way
Strong controls reduce your risk, they don't eliminate it. Specialist cover from £250 a year protects the business financially if an incident still happens.

Do I need all five services, or can I pick one?
Most businesses start with Cyber Essentials on its own. From there, it depends on what you need: Cyber Essentials Plus if a client, tender or insurer wants the audited level, vulnerability assessments or penetration testing if you want ongoing checks between certifications, and cyber insurance if you want financial cover on top of the technical controls.
What's the difference between penetration testing and a vulnerability assessment?
A vulnerability assessment runs from inside your devices, an agent installed on each one checking for known weaknesses. Penetration testing works from the outside, actively trying to get in the way a real attacker would.
What's the actual difference between Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus?
Cyber Essentials is a self-assessment. Cyber Essentials Plus adds an independent, hands-on audit of the same five controls, giving stronger assurance that they hold up in practice, not just on paper.
Does passing Cyber Essentials mean I don't need separate cyber insurance?
Not really. Cyber Essentials includes a free £25,000 policy, but that rarely covers a serious incident. Most businesses that want a bigger safety net add the specialist cover underwritten by Hiscox on top.
Where should I start if I'm not sure?
Cyber Essentials, for almost every business. It's the quickest, most affordable step, and everything else builds on it.
