Our process
01 Business-first engagement
Our aim is to protect your business, beginning with a thorough understanding of it.
We start our health check by interviewing your CEO and senior management to identify the most significant cyber threats and their potential impact.
This information helps us pinpoint key risks, which will serve as the foundation for our comprehensive review.
02 Control selection
Next, we determine the controls needed to manage your cyber risks.
We base these on a combination of the CIS Critical Security Controls and ISO 27001 Annex A. However, if your business uses different controls, we will customise our health check accordingly.
For businesses handling extremely sensitive data, we may introduce specialised controls such as air-gapped networks to enhance your protection level.
03 Control & risk assessment
Our assessments cover people, processes, and technology. This involves ensuring you have the right talent, that processes are robust and repeatable, and that technology functions as required.
We rigorously examine your controls, evaluating potential points of failure and probing until we are certain a failure is impossible. If this cannot be confirmed, we mark it as a fail and assess the risk accordingly.
