IASME Cyber Assurance
Formerly known as IASME Governance, this certification assesses your information security governance, and works as a major step towards ISO 27001.
As with Cyber Essentials, there are two levels: a ‘self-assessment’, and an audited version. We help our clients throughout the process with our unlimited and tailored support.
Security Posture Reviews
We carry out a detailed assessment of your full security posture, covering policy, processes and technology platforms.
- We analyse your security posture versus industry best practices and standards, such as the NCSC 10 Steps, or the NIST Cyber Security Framework
- We also interview stakeholders in your organisation to help understand and reduce the gaps in your security posture
- Our report recommendations are scored to better assist you in prioritising the required remediations
Digital Forensic Investigations
We provide expert forensic investigation of cyber attacks, IP theft, fraud, or any other area of dispute. Our discreet service ensures our clients are provided with an in-depth, independent report needed to settle disputes, including being used as evidence in court. We also have years of experience in forensically collecting data from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and other cloud platforms in legal discovery work.
Consultancy
With expert consultancy from our Cyber Security team, we work with our clients on a range of projects; from general advice about their Cyber security posture, to monthly advisory calls and remote IT/CISO services.
Penetration testing
Our CREST-qualified penetration testers use a number of tools to search for exploitable issues and provide tailored remediation recommendations for security issues identified on your web apps, APIs, firewalls and websites. We recommend that this is conducted at least quarterly – and ideally monthly – giving you peace of mind that emerging exploits will be identified and patched before they cause problems.
Vulnerability scanning
Scans are automated scans of devices, IPs and URLs. They are typically run against a network of end user devices (usually laptops), and help to quickly identify vulnerabilities in software and operating systems. Such vulnerabilities can usually be fixed by applying the latest security patches. We recommend that vulnerability scans are conducted on a monthly basis, and used in conjunction with penetration testing.
Pricing
While prices for Cyber Essentials and IASME Cyber Assurance are set, our other services are bespoke depending on our clients needs, and the scope of the project. Our process is simple:
- Book a discovery call
- Send scoping materials or proposal
- Agree the project with a Statement of Work
