Security doesn't stop after an assessment.

Cyber Essentials, penetration testing and security assessments provide valuable assurance at a point in time. But your technology, vulnerabilities, users and risks continue to change throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Security Assurance package?

A Security Assurance package gives you ongoing access to cyber security expertise rather than relying on a once-a-year assessment.

We regularly review your security, identify weaknesses, help prioritise what needs attention and provide practical guidance to improve your security throughout the year.

Which Security Assurance package is right for my organisation?

It depends on how much ongoing support you need.

Essential Security is for smaller organisations that want regular security reviews and practical guidance.

Professional Security is for organisations that want their security actively managed, with ongoing vulnerability management, security monitoring, Microsoft 365 oversight and regular reporting.

Security Partner provides strategic security leadership, governance and vCISO support for organisations that need someone to help lead their cyber security programme.

Not sure? Talk to us and we'll help you choose the appropriate level without overcomplicating it.

What is the difference between Essential and Professional Security?

Essential Security helps you regularly check and maintain your security through quarterly reviews, vulnerability scanning, action tracking and practical guidance.

Professional Security goes further. We actively look after your security throughout the year, with monthly reviews, ongoing vulnerability management, Microsoft 365 security oversight, managed security monitoring, alert review and remediation guidance.

Does Professional Security include 24/7 monitoring?

No. Professional Security provides proportionate managed security monitoring, alert review, triage and expert oversight designed for SMEs and growing organisations, but it is not a 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC).

If your organisation requires continuous 24/7 SOC monitoring, we can help you identify an appropriate specialist solution while continuing to support your wider security requirements.

Can Security Assurance help with Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001?

Yes. We can help you understand and maintain the security controls needed for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus and support your readiness for ISO 27001.

As an IASME Certification Body and NCSC Assured Cyber Advisor, we also bring practical experience of helping more than 100 organisations achieve or renew Cyber Essentials certification.

We have also implemented ISO 27001 with our clients organisation from the ground up, giving us first-hand experience of building an ISMS, developing policies, processes and controls aligned with ISO 27001 requirements.

What does the Security Partner / vCISO service provide?

Security Partner gives you access to experienced cyber security leadership without the cost of employing a full-time CISO or building an internal security team.
