Prepare
Your starting point for progress. Equipping you with the insight and focus to achieve your goals.
Prepare for the future, not just your defence
The pace of technology is increasing, and with that comes risk. Threats are multiplying, evolving, and achieving harm in shorter timescales than ever before.
The solution to these problems is not to simply purchase more technology. Despite frequent new security solutions promising to fix the latest problems, by narrowing our focus to isolated issues, we can find ourselves locked in a loop of anxiety and complexity where we feel that we have to make the next purchase to remain secure.
Our approach is to focus on the outcomes for your organisation – to fully understand the current environment and your aspirations before we start to talk about technology. We’re guided by what you want to achieve, not the problems that are top of mind at that moment.
To ensure we can do this effectively, we have developed assessments that gauge your current security posture, and compares it against a range of recognised frameworks or benchmarks – such as CIS, CAF, and Cyber Essentials. These assessments are vital tools in guiding our approach, helping to identify gaps in your existing environment, and providing a clear picture of where you currently stand. The end result of these assessments isn’t just a new product to buy – it’s tailored guidance from sector experts that are invested in seeing you achieve your goals.
The Prepare stage is all about getting you ready and onto your starting blocks, armed with the knowledge and context needed to break the cycle and take steps towards your goals. And once your foundations are secure, you can start to focus on what matters.
Cyber security assessments
Microsoft Maturity Assessment
To help our clients achieve the best possible security posture, we have developed a new Microsoft 365 Security Maturity Assessment solution, which includes a robust evaluation of up to 170 different controls within a variety of Microsoft portals.
Cyber Assessment Framework
We provide CAF consultancy services to ensure that you understand the intended outcomes of CAF, can accurately assess your capability against them, and can then translate the results into action, improving your own cyber resilience. We offer three options for you to select from, depending on your in-house capability and resource.
CIS Assessment
Focusing on Implementation Group 1 – ‘essential cyber hygiene’ – we provide a comprehensive assessment of 56 safeguards to determine how effectively they have been deployed. Through this assessment, we identify where compliance has been achieved, where vulnerabilities exist, and the necessary action required in order to remediate.
Cyber Essentials
Podcast Episode – Zero Trust
Zero Trust is becoming a core pillar of cyber security for many organisations – and with good reason. We break down the concept into its simplest parts, and step through exactly how it differs from th…
