Networks Security Consultancy Approach
Our cyber security consultancy is bespoke to requirements and business risk profile. Depending on the needs of the organisation, our approach will typically encompass four phases:
Gap Analysis
Our baseline of assessment of your cyber security will include actions such as assessing networks, systems, applications, and data to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Through additional measures such as penetration testing and vulnerability scanning (as desired), and other assessment techniques, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your current security posture.
IT Strategy & Roadmapping
Based on findings our team of experts will then work closely with your organisation to develop a customised cyber security strategy based on our findings. This strategy considers operational objectives, risk profile, and compliance requirements. We prioritise security initiatives based on their potential impact and feasibility, ensuring you tackle priorities. We’ll also breakdown technology and procedural measures so you can assess where process can shape security.
Expert IT Project Team
Following consultation and with a clear strategy in place, we proceed to remediate any identified vulnerabilities and implement any necessary security controls. This may involve strengthening access controls, implementing encryption, or deploying additional protection solutions. We’ll break down measures that can potentially be carried out by your team. And provide more information about how we can complete your requirements: from deploying security measures to reformulating internal policies.

Cyber Essentials & Plus Consultancy
Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus certifications are UK government-backed standards for cyber security measures and awareness. These Cyber certifications assess that adequate measures are in place to protect business systems and data.
Many industries now require Cyber Essentials as part of doing business, and it’s an increasingly common requirement of some types of business insurance. Having the Cyber Essentials certification can also be appealing for customers to know your organisation (and their data) is secure. And it’s also a requirement of local and national Government tendering.
As a certified testing organisation for Cyber Essentials,Networks can both prepare and certify organisations for Cyber Essentials. We can also undertake all necessary preparations for Cyber Essentials Plus.
Both certifications can be achieved either as a one-off consultancy project or as part of our managed cyber security consultancy service.
