CYBER SECURITY SERVICES

Practical, hands-on cyber security services for organisations that need more than a tick-box exercise. From firewall policy audits and security posture reviews through to CREST-accredited penetration testing — we identify real risk and deliver clear, actionable recommendations.

WHAT WE DELIVER

We combine deep network engineering experience with practical security expertise. That means we don't just flag vulnerabilities — we understand your infrastructure, explain the real-world impact, and give you a prioritised plan to fix things. Every report we deliver includes context, risk ratings, and clear remediation steps written for both technical teams and senior stakeholders.

PENETRATION TESTING

CREST-accredited penetration testing covering internal, external, web application, and wireless assessments. Delivered through our certified testing partner network with full reporting tailored to your organisation.

FIREWALL POLICY AUDITS

In-depth review of your firewall rulebase — identifying overly permissive rules, redundant policies, shadowed rules, and misconfigurations. Delivered with a prioritised remediation plan.

SECURITY POSTURE REVIEWS

A comprehensive assessment of your network security posture — covering architecture, segmentation, access control, encryption, logging, and incident readiness. Clear findings with practical recommendations.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS

Systematic scanning and analysis of your infrastructure to identify known vulnerabilities, missing patches, and configuration weaknesses. Results contextualised with risk ratings and remediation priorities.

SECURITY CONSULTANCY

Ongoing or ad-hoc security guidance — helping you make informed decisions on architecture, tooling, policy, and best practice. Practical advice from engineers who build and secure networks every day.

DEPLOYMENT REVIEWS

Independent review of new or existing infrastructure deployments. We assess whether your firewalls, VPNs, segmentation, and access controls are configured securely and aligned with best practice.

OUR APPROACH TO PEN TESTING

We deliver CREST-accredited penetration testing through our established network of certified testing professionals. This means you get the rigour and accreditation of a CREST-certified test, combined with the value we add as your infrastructure consultancy — we don't just hand you a raw report and walk away.

We review every finding in the context of your specific environment, add practical remediation guidance based on our knowledge of your infrastructure, and present a final report that's genuinely useful — not a generic output from an automated scanner. Where needed, we help you implement the fixes and verify they've been applied correctly.

SECURITY AUDITS & REVIEWS

Not every organisation needs a full pen test. Sometimes what you need is an experienced engineer to review your security setup, identify gaps, and tell you where to focus your budget. Our audit and review services are designed for organisations who want practical, honest guidance rather than a sales pitch for more products.

WHO WE WORK WITH

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does CREST-accredited mean?

CREST is an international not-for-profit accreditation body that certifies the competence of penetration testing companies and individual testers. A CREST-accredited test means the testing is carried out by qualified professionals following a recognised methodology — it's widely accepted by regulators, insurers, and compliance frameworks as the standard for penetration testing in the UK.

Do you perform the pen testing yourselves?

Penetration testing is delivered through our established network of CREST-certified testing professionals. We manage the entire engagement — scoping, scheduling, liaison, and reporting. We then review every finding, add context specific to your environment, and deliver a final report with practical remediation guidance. This gives you the benefit of certified testing combined with infrastructure expertise that understands your setup.

What's the difference between a pen test and a vulnerability assessment?

A vulnerability assessment uses automated scanning tools to identify known vulnerabilities across your infrastructure — it's broad but relatively surface-level. A penetration test goes further — a skilled tester actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities, chain findings together, and demonstrate real-world impact. Both have their place depending on your requirements and budget.

Can you help us fix the issues found in a pen test?

Yes — and this is where we add significant value. Because we're infrastructure engineers as well as security consultants, we can implement the remediation work directly. Whether it's tightening firewall rules, fixing VPN configurations, improving segmentation, or patching systems — we don't just tell you what's wrong, we help you fix it.

How often should we have a pen test?

Most compliance frameworks recommend at least annually, or after any significant infrastructure change. For organisations in regulated sectors, more frequent testing may be required. We can advise on the right frequency and scope based on your specific risk profile and compliance obligations.
