Founded by Jonathan Krause, a former New Scotland Yard digital forensic investigator with nearly two decades of government-level security experience. We apply an investigative mindset to proactive protection, ensuring no detail is overlooked during your certification.
As a licensed IASME Certification Body, we have the direct authority to assess and award Cyber Essentials and Plus certifications. We aren't just resellers; we are the technical experts who review your security and sign your certificate.
Operating from our offices in Belgrave Square, we provide senior-led security advice to London's legal, financial, and public sectors. Our physical presence ensures direct access to expertise and a partner who understands the UK regulatory landscape.
Since 2008 our cyber security experts have secured over 400 organisations, from high-growth Fintechs and AI companies to major public bodies like Ofsted and the Church of England. Cyber Essentials certification is estimated to prevent up to 80% of common cyber attacks*.

In Fintech, security is a promise to investors and clients. Backed by Quantum Financial Holdings, we help financial firms secure sensitive assets, comply with FCA standards and fast-track Cyber Essentials Plus to satisfy Tier-1 client requirements. We also deliver penetration testing that exposes the risks automation misses, including the forensic rigour required for financial litigation.
Supply chain security requirements are tightening across construction and engineering. An increasing number of principal contractors now mandate Cyber Essentials as a condition of approved supplier status, and that requirement is moving down the chain. Forensic Control helps construction and engineering firms achieve certification quickly and without disruption, so you stay on approved lists and win more contracts.
Law firms need digital evidence that stands up in court, not just technical scanning. With 18+ years in legal technology, including high-profile multi-jurisdictional matters, we provide rapid-response eDiscovery and digital forensics following the EDRM framework. We help you meet tight disclosure deadlines and manage DSARs to a legally defensible standard.
Charities are increasingly targeted by phishing and data theft, yet operate under tight budgets. Having certified organisations including Save the Children, we understand that balance. Cyber Essentials makes your organisation 92% less likely to make an insurance claim*, and our vulnerability scanning service gives trustees ongoing visibility of emerging threats to donor data.
As a specialist partner for public sector suppliers, we know Cyber Essentials is a mandatory licence to operate. Drawing on our founder's heritage at UK Central Government and New Scotland Yard, we provide the certification and standalone vulnerability scanning you need to evidence NCSC standards, win high-stakes procurement and maintain public sector contracts with confidence.
If your organisation supplies to the Ministry of Defence or the wider defence supply chain, Cyber Essentials is a condition of contract, and CE Plus is increasingly required for MoD procurement. Led by a founder with firsthand experience securing sensitive government systems, we also provide penetration testing to prove resilience against the threats these contracts demand.

We provide managed eDiscovery for law firms, forensic accountants and in-house counsel - covering everything from forensic data collection and document review to DSAR management and expert witness testimony. Every engagement follows the EDRM framework and is handled directly by our senior consultants, not passed to a project coordinator. When you instruct us, you speak to the experts doing the work from day one.
