- Documented evidence and risk-based priorities
- Remediation guidance and agreed follow-up testing
Risk & resilienceRisk Assessment & Incident Response Planning
Connect information security risks to the services and information your organisation depends on. Prepare response plans that define how incidents are reported, assessed, escalated and coordinated.
- Risk criteria, risk register and treatment priorities

Controlled testing: Technical assessments require an agreed scope, written authorisation, testing windows and escalation contacts. Applicable permissions and regulatory conditions are confirmed before delivery.
Prepare for ISO/IEC 27001 with an ISMS your team can use
Develop a management system that reflects how your organisation operates. Our support links information security risks, control implementation and management oversight to the evidence needed to demonstrate progress.
Establish the foundations
Define the ISMS scope, relevant requirements, responsibilities, risk methodology and security objectives.
Implement and document
Develop the risk treatment plan, Statement of Applicability, policies, procedures and records around the controls your organisation needs.
Evaluate and improve
Prepare for internal audit and management review, address findings and organise evidence for certification readiness.
Consultancy and readiness support are distinct from certification. Audit objectivity and any independence requirements are considered when agreeing the engagement.

Information security services: your questions answered
Where should we start if we do not have a formal security programme?
Start with a focused review of your critical services, information assets, existing controls and business obligations. The results help define a proportionate scope and a prioritised improvement plan before committing to a larger programme.
What is the difference between vulnerability assessment and penetration testing?
Vulnerability assessment identifies, validates and prioritises security weaknesses. Penetration testing uses authorised, controlled techniques to investigate whether selected weaknesses can be exploited and what impact could follow. The choice depends on your objectives, system maturity and testing constraints.
Can you help us prepare for ISO/IEC 27001 certification?
Yes. Support can include an ISMS gap review, scope definition, risk assessment, risk treatment, the Statement of Applicability, documentation and preparation for internal audit and management review. Certification is a separate assessment and decision by a certification body; consultancy does not guarantee certification.
Can you support banks, fintech companies and technology providers?
Engagements can address governance, risk, security controls, supplier responsibilities and audit readiness in these environments. We agree the applicable jurisdiction, requirements, systems and permitted service scope before work begins. Any regulatory approval or acceptance remains with the relevant authority.
Which services are included in the NAITS listing?

How is confidential assessment information handled?
Confidentiality arrangements, authorised contacts, access requirements and the handling of assessment evidence are agreed before work starts. Share initial requirements through the enquiry channel; arrange a suitable secure method before sending credentials, sensitive reports or client data.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide your organisation and sector, requested service, business objective, country or countries in scope, approximate systems or locations, relevant requirements and preferred timing. An initial discussion can clarify scope when the requirements are still developing.
