How we have helped UK businesses manage security risk.
Financial Services Firm Reducing Cyber Risk
A Leeds-based financial services firm had no formal security oversight. Risks were unquantified, incidents were handled reactively, and the board had no visibility of their cyber exposure.
Security posture assessed and risk register implemented within 4 weeks. Board now receives monthly risk dashboard. Two significant vulnerabilities identified and remediated before exploitation.
Healthcare Provider Achieving Compliance
A UK healthcare provider needed to demonstrate compliance with NHS Digital security standards and GDPR. Their security controls were inconsistent and undocumented.
Security oversight framework implemented. NHS Digital standards met within 8 weeks. GDPR compliance achieved and maintained with ongoing oversight.
Manufacturer Managing Supply Chain Risk
A Birmingham manufacturer had no visibility of the security posture of their technology suppliers. A supply chain attack on a key supplier had caused a significant operational disruption.
Third-party risk assessment programme implemented. All key suppliers assessed within 6 weeks. Two high-risk suppliers replaced. Supply chain security significantly improved.
