Compliance

Ensure your business meets the right standards, passes audits smoothly, and builds lasting trust through proven, practical compliance support.

Strengthen your defence and demonstrate your adherence

Education is key to business resilience in the world of cyber security. Conducting regular testing and implementing training programmes to raise awareness in your organisation can help to form a robust defence against cyber threats.

Compliance brings value to your business

Regulations and frameworks move fast, and so do attackers. With our support, you’ll benefit from:

A structured approach to identifying vulnerabilities in your systems and infrastructure through testing like penetration tests, web-application testing and vulnerability assessments.

Enhanced employee awareness via tailored training and simulated phishing campaigns, embedding security behaviour across your organisation.

Alignment with recognised industry benchmarks such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements for payment-handling environments.

Clear, actionable reporting – you’ll receive risk-based findings with remediation steps and retesting support to show progress over time.

Our skilled testing team use a blend of experience and automated and manual techniques to assist you in building the most effective defence against emerging threats. Chat with one of our specialists to understand how we can assist you in securing your network.

Security testing

We provide targeted security testing to detect hidden weaknesses across your systems and infrastructure. Our specialists conduct Perimeter Penetration Testing (external attacks), Web Application Testing, and scheduled Vulnerability Scanning to identify risks.

After testing, you will receive a summary of organisational security health, a risk-based report for each identified vulnerability and evidence of findings and real-world impact. Through mitigation guidance and retesting, we can help you build the strongest possible defence against new and emerging threats.

Training

As with most things in life, awareness is key. The weakest link in your organisation is potentially your employees. Attackers frequently target your people, particularly via email, as this is often the easiest way into a network. Our phishing simulation and cyber security awareness platform provides education in a straightforward, easy, and agile manner.

  • Stage 1:
    Distribute Phishing emails to simulate real criminal approaches – we will use real-life information for targeted attacks.
  • Stage 2:
    We provide employee education with short, interactive videos and quizzes – this helps to change behaviour and culture, embedding cyber security awareness in the workplace.
  • Stage 3:
    Monthly phishing emails will be sent to ensure employee vigilance – our team will identify those employees requiring additional education.

CIS Benchmarking

Modern businesses rely on SaaS platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and AWS, demanding heightened security. Our CIS Benchmarking service is the simple, effective solution.

CIS (Centre for Internet Security) Benchmarks are globally recognised best practices for securing IT systems. We align your SaaS configurations with these industry standards, helping you identify and quickly address vulnerabilities.

This service significantly enhances security, reduces risk of breaches and financial losses, and ensures you meet regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently asked questions

We work with a range of frameworks. Whether you’re dealing with payment-card data (PCI DSS), SaaS security (CIS Benchmarking), or general regulatory obligations, we tailor the service to your specific requirements and risk profile.

Compliance is relevant to organisations of all sizes. We scale our testing, training and reporting based on your business size, complexity, and sector-specific demands.

Security isn’t a one-off; threats evolve continuously, and so should your practices. We recommend regular vulnerability assessments and ongoing awareness campaigns (e.g., quarterly or semi-annually) and retesting after remediation to maintain performance.

You’ll get detailed reports showing testing results, identified vulnerabilities, mitigations applied and retesting outcomes. This documentation demonstrates risk management, traceability and that you’ve taken meaningful steps.

Compliance supports those services by ensuring your foundation is solid (testing, training, controls). Services like a SOC add monitoring and response; certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) provide recognised external attestation. Together, they build a robust security-and-compliance ecosystem.
