SECURE
FOUNDATIONS.

You're building something important. The decisions you make in the first weeks and months — about how you store data, how your team accesses systems, how you handle identity — will define your security posture for years. Getting this right from day one is far cheaper than fixing it later, and it positions you well for the compliance journey ahead.

What we do
Deploy a secure-by-default Microsoft 365 environment, harden your endpoints and identities, and put basic monitoring in place.
What you get
A secure foundation aligned to Cyber Essentials standards — ready to certify when the time comes, without starting again.
Typical timeline
Fully operational within hours. Cyber Essentials certification achievable within days.

TABLE
STAKES.

Cyber Essentials is the baseline. More and more contracts — government and commercial — require it. It's also the first rung on the UK compliance ladder. We make the process straightforward: assess where you are, close the gaps, and get you certified. No unnecessary overhead, no consultant-speak.

What we do
Gap assessment against the five CE controls, remediation support, and guided certification through an approved body.
What you get
Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus certification, plus a clear view of what comes next.
Typical timeline
CE achievable in weeks. CE+ typically 4–8 weeks depending on your current posture.

BUILT FOR
THE UK MARKET.

Entering the UK market means navigating a different compliance landscape. Cyber Essentials is the starting point, but the UK defence supply chain has its own requirements — and they're evolving fast with CSM v4 and the new DefStan 05-138. We know the system from the inside and can get you compliant quickly, without disrupting your existing operations.

What we do
Map your existing controls to UK requirements, identify gaps, and build a sequenced compliance roadmap tied to your UK contract timeline.
What you get
UK-ready compliance posture — starting with Cyber Essentials and a clear path to DefStan and DCC as your UK business grows.
Typical timeline
Initial assessment within days. CE certification typically within 4–6 weeks of engagement. DefStan compliance depends on posture and risk profile.

SECURITY THAT
SCALES WITH YOU.

Growth introduces risk. New people, new systems, new suppliers — each one a potential vulnerability. Most fast-growing companies reach a point where their early security decisions no longer hold. We build cyber programmes that scale with your headcount, your infrastructure, and your risk profile so you don't hit a compliance wall right when you need a contract most.

What we do
Ongoing proactive security posture management, vCISO support, supply chain risk management, and a managed security service that scales with your team.
What you get
A security programme that grows with your business — not one that breaks every time you hire or expand.
Typical timeline
Ongoing engagement. Initial programme design typically within 2–4 weeks.

CONTRACT
READY.

Your first major defence contract is within reach. But MOD customers and primes want to see more than Cyber Essentials — they want DefStan compliance and evidence of operational resilience. We understand these frameworks from the inside, and we'll get you through them without losing momentum on the contract itself.

What we do
Full DefStan 05-138 gap analysis, DCC Level 0–3 preparation, CSM v4 readiness assessment, and contract-specific compliance support.
What you get
Compliance evidence that satisfies MOD procurement requirements — and a programme that doesn't evaporate after the contract is signed.
Typical timeline
Aligned to your bid timeline. We've delivered full DefStan programmes in under 90 days.

NAVIGATING
UK COMPLIANCE.

You've built a strong compliance posture in your home market. The UK is a different system — with its own frameworks, cleared personnel requirements, and a defence supply chain that expects you to know the language. We bridge that gap, mapping your existing controls to UK requirements and building the additional evidence your UK customers will need to see.

What we do
Cross-framework mapping (CMMC, ISO 27001, NIST → UK DefStan/CSM), gap remediation, and DCC certification support.
What you get
A clear, evidenced compliance position against UK defence requirements — without rebuilding your entire security programme.
Typical timeline
Framework mapping typically 2–3 weeks. Full DefStan alignment 60–90 days depending on existing posture.

SECURITY AT
EVERY STEP.

At scale, cyber security becomes a board-level concern — and a competitive differentiator. Investors, partners, and customers want to see maturity. Nation-state adversaries see a more valuable target. We provide the executive-level security leadership, the 24/7 managed capability, and the compliance infrastructure to match where your business is going.

What we do
Full vCISO service, 24/7 UK-based SOC, board-level reporting, investor and audit readiness, and ongoing programme evolution.
What you get
Enterprise-grade security leadership and operations — at a fraction of the cost of building it in-house.
Typical timeline
Ongoing partnership. Onboarding typically 2–4 weeks.
