Problems we help SMEs solve

We can’t justify a full-time security manager, but someone needs to be in charge of this.

Fractional Security Manager / CISO
  • You don’t know whether you’re more or less secure than you were last month.
  • Your IT provider fixes problems, but nobody tells you which risks matter most or what to do next.
  • A big customer has sent a long security questionnaire, and you’re not sure how to answer it honestly.
  • As a director, you’re not sure what you’re personally responsible for if there’s a breach.

My employees want to use AI to reduce costs, speed up our business and do more. Should I be worried about cybersecurity and AI?

Fractional Security Manager / CISO
  • Staff may already be pasting customer data, contracts or internal documents into free AI tools, and you don’t know which tools or where that data goes.
  • You’d like to try AI agents that can read email, update records or take actions for you, but you’re not sure what they should be allowed to do.
  • A customer has asked how you use AI with their data, and you don’t have a clear answer.

We need someone independent to check that our security actually works.

Cybersecurity Auditing
  • Your board, insurer or customers want proof, not reassurance from the people who set it up.
  • You rely on suppliers such as your IT provider, cloud services and payroll, but you don’t know how secure they are. If they’re breached, so are you.

A customer or tender says we need Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001.

Cybersecurity Compliance
  • You need security policies that fit a business your size, not a binder nobody reads.
  • You want to know what’s missing before you pay for the assessment, so you pass first time.

How much should we spend on cybersecurity, and on what?

Cyber Risk Quantification
  • You’re asked to approve security spending without knowing what it protects you from in pounds.
  • You’d like to know what a serious cyber attack would cost the business, to help you decide on insurance and investment.
  • You want your budget to go where it reduces the most risk.

If ransomware hit us tomorrow, would we know what to do?

Cyber-attack resilience
  • There’s no written plan for who does what when systems go down or data is stolen.
  • You have a plan, but it’s never been tested. An attack shouldn’t be the first time anyone reads it.
