CYBERSECURITY & GRC
Cyber security services sized to your real risk
Our cyber security services cover assessment, ongoing protection and compliance for businesses that need security done properly without a large in-house team. We start with what an attacker would target first.
Security Risk Review
- Asset and exposure inventory across cloud, devices and applications
- Ranked risk register with likelihood, impact and owners
- Ninety-day remediation plan with effort estimates
OVERVIEW
Cyber security services in three connected parts
Security work breaks down when advice, monitoring and compliance sit with different vendors who never talk. We run all three on one plan, starting with a security risk assessment that ranks what matters. You get one cyber security company accountable for the whole picture.

USE CASES
Who we help
Law firm protecting client files
A law firm holds privileged documents and email. We harden access, monitor accounts and write an incident response plan partners can follow.
SaaS team facing questionnaires
An enterprise buyer sends a long security questionnaire. We close the gaps it exposes and help you answer with evidence.
Manufacturer connecting machines
New sensors link shop-floor machines to the cloud. We segment networks so one compromised device cannot reach finance systems.
Startup preparing for SOC 2
Investors or customers ask for SOC 2. We build the controls and evidence trail in the order auditors will check them.

FAQ
Questions before you book
Not covered here? Ask on the call.
Do we need all three services?
No. Some clients only need an assessment and a plan their own team can carry out. Others need ongoing monitoring or audit readiness. We recommend a mix after the first review, and you can add or drop services at any PRISM OS gate.
What does an initial assessment involve?
We interview key staff, review your systems, accounts, data flows and suppliers, and run light technical checks. You receive a risk register ranked by likelihood and business impact, plus a ninety-day plan with owners and effort for each fix.
Can you work with our current IT provider?
Yes. We often work alongside an existing IT provider or in-house team. We agree who handles which alerts and fixes, and share findings in a format they can act on. Nobody loses access or control of their systems.
We are a small firm. Is this overkill?
Small firms are frequent targets because attackers expect weaker defences. We scale the programme to your size: a handful of strong controls such as multi-factor sign-in, tested backups and device protection usually removes most of the practical risk.
