Penetration testing, compliance audits, and ongoing protection for SMEs
Most SMEs don't think about security until something goes wrong. We help you find and fix vulnerabilities before attackers do — with penetration testing, compliance auditing, and practical security measures scaled for your budget.
Overview
Security that fits your business, not just your budget.
A data breach doesn't just cost money — it costs trust. Clients leave, regulators investigate, and the reputational damage can take years to recover from. For SMEs, the impact is often disproportionately severe because the resources to respond aren't there.
We provide practical, proportionate cyber security services for UK SMEs. That means identifying real risks — not selling you enterprise solutions you don't need — and helping you meet compliance requirements like Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and GDPR with clear, actionable guidance.
Our security team has experience across regulated industries including finance, healthcare, and professional services. We understand the compliance landscape and the practical constraints of running a small business.
What's Included
Comprehensive Protection
Penetration Testing
Simulated attacks on your web applications, networks, and infrastructure to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before real attackers find them.
Vulnerability Assessments
Automated and manual scanning of your systems to produce a prioritised list of security weaknesses, ranked by severity and exploitability.
Compliance Auditing
Gap analysis and audit preparation for Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, and GDPR — with clear remediation roadmaps.
Security Monitoring & Incident Response
Ongoing monitoring of your systems for suspicious activity, with documented incident response procedures so your team knows exactly what to do.
Security Awareness Training
Practical training for your staff covering phishing, password hygiene, social engineering, and safe data handling — tailored to your industry.
Risk Assessment & Threat Modelling
Identify your most valuable assets, map the threats against them, and build a prioritised security strategy that focuses your budget where it matters most.
Our Process
Test, report, fix, verify.
A structured four-stage engagement that leaves you with clear findings, prioritised remediation steps, and verified fixes.
- 01
Scoping & Threat Modelling
We define the scope of testing, identify your critical assets, and map the threat landscape relevant to your industry and infrastructure.
- 02
Testing & Analysis
Our team conducts thorough testing — combining automated tools with manual techniques — to uncover vulnerabilities that scanners alone would miss.
- 03
Reporting & Remediation
You receive a detailed report with every finding ranked by risk, clear evidence, and step-by-step remediation guidance your team can follow.
- 04
Re-testing & Verification
After you've applied the fixes, we re-test to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed and no new issues have been introduced.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. SMEs are increasingly targeted precisely because attackers know their defences are weaker than larger organisations. A single breach can cost tens of thousands of pounds in downtime, regulatory fines, and lost clients. Penetration testing is the most effective way to find and fix weaknesses before they're exploited.
We help organisations achieve Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and prepare for ISO 27001 certification. We also provide GDPR compliance auditing and can advise on sector-specific requirements for healthcare, finance, and legal services.
At minimum, annually — and after any significant infrastructure change such as a new application launch, cloud migration, or network reconfiguration. Many of our clients opt for quarterly vulnerability assessments with an annual penetration test.
We document every finding with a risk rating, clear evidence of the issue, and step-by-step remediation guidance. Critical vulnerabilities are flagged immediately so you can take action straight away. We then re-test to confirm the fixes work.
A focused web application test typically takes 3 to 5 days. A broader engagement covering network infrastructure, web applications, and internal systems might take 1 to 2 weeks. We agree the scope and timeline before the engagement begins.
Absolutely. All testing follows industry-standard methodologies (OWASP, PTES). We use isolated test environments where possible, sign comprehensive NDAs, and follow strict data handling procedures. We never access, copy, or store your production data unless explicitly agreed.
A vulnerability assessment scans your systems to identify known weaknesses and misconfigurations — it's broad but shallow. A penetration test goes deeper: our testers actively attempt to exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact. Most businesses benefit from both, with assessments running regularly and penetration tests conducted quarterly or after significant changes.
A focused web application pen test typically costs between £3,000 and £8,000. A comprehensive engagement covering network, application, and internal testing ranges from £8,000 to £20,000+. The exact cost depends on scope, complexity, and the number of systems being tested. We provide a fixed-price quote after an initial scoping call.
