Cyber Health Check / Security Review
A quick, accessible diagnostic
If you're unsure where to start with cybersecurity — you're in the right place. Our Cyber Health Check provides a clear view of your current security posture and the most important improvements to make first.
Who it's for
Think of it like a medical check-up — your cyber "vitals". It's a quick way to catch early warning signs, validate what's working, and focus your effort where it matters most.
- • Organisations new to cybersecurity or regulatory requirements.
- • SMEs that want a straightforward, non-technical view of "where we stand".
- • Teams preparing for Cyber Essentials, IASME Cyber Assurance, ISO 27001 Readiness, or Defence Cyber Certification.
What's included
We combine light-touch interviews, documentation review and simple technical checks (patching, MFA, backups, endpoint protection) with benchmarking against Cyber Essentials and the NCSC 10 Steps.
- • Light-touch discovery: brief interviews and review of key policies and systems.
- • Quick technical checks: patching, MFA, backups, endpoint protection.
- • Good-practice benchmarking: aligned to Cyber Essentials and NCSC 10 Steps.
- • Plain-English outputs: clear findings, practical next steps — not a long audit.
