Assessment & Gap Analysis Services
Understand your current security posture and identify clear, practical next steps.
Basic Gap Assessment
This service provides a high-level assessment of your organisation against NIST CSF or ISO/IEC 27001. You’ll receive an executive summary outlining key security gaps and a prioritised view of your most significant risks, giving you clarity on where to focus first.
Security Score Reiew
Building on the basic assessment, this service evaluates control maturity across your organisation. We conduct departmental interviews and provide a structured remediation roadmap to help you improve security controls in a practical, achievable way.
Premium Compliance Assessment
Designed for SMEs with higher risk or compliance requirements, this service delivers detailed compliance mapping and a continuous improvement plan. Findings are presented at C-suite level, helping leadership understand security priorities and investment needs.
Security Programme Development
Create a structured and sustainable security framework aligned to your business goals.
Programme Setup
This service helps you establish the foundations of a security framework. We provide core policy templates, a draft governance structure, and a clear security charter to define responsibilities and expectations across your business.
Standard Programme Development
Ideal for growing SMEs, this service develops a formal risk management programme, defines meaningful security KPIs, and includes staff security awareness training to embed good security practices across your organisation.
Premium Framework Build
This comprehensive service delivers a full Information Security Management System (ISMS). It includes board-level reporting and alignment with regulatory, client, and contractual requirements, ensuring your framework supports long-term growth.
Continuous Compliance & vCISO Services
Ongoing security leadership and compliance support for SMEs without in-house expertise.
Basic Advisory Support
This entry-level service provides quarterly advisory calls, an annual policy review, and access to security metrics dashboards. It’s ideal for SMEs that need guidance without full-time security leadership.

Designed for organisations with ongoing compliance needs, this service includes monthly compliance tracking, control evidence collection, and audit or certification preparation support.
Premium vCISO Service
Our most comprehensive offering provides a dedicated virtual CISO. This includes continuous monitoring, strategic security oversight, and regular board and executive reporting, giving your business enterprise-level security leadership at SME scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these services suitable for small businesses?
Yes. All services are designed to be proportionate, affordable, and practical for SMEs — not enterprise-heavy or overly complex.
Do I need all three service types?
No. Many SMEs start with an assessment, move into programme development, and then choose ongoing compliance support as they grow.
Can this help with Cyber Essentials, NIST, and ISO 27001?
Yes. Our services align directly with NIST CSF 2.0, Cyber Essentials, and ISO/IEC 27001, and can be tailored to one or multiple frameworks.
Do you support local businesses in North Yorkshire?
Absolutely. We regularly work with SMEs in Stokesley, Northallerton, Great Ayton, and the surrounding areas, offering remote and on-site support.
What tools do you use?
We combine automation and evidence gathering tools, security awareness training, and hands-on consultancy to reduce effort and improve results.
