Compliance is the New Business Currency. Don't Get Filtered Out.
In today’s supply chain, cyber assurance isn’t optional - it’s the entry ticket. Without Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, NCSC CAF, or equivalent assurance, you’re filtered out at the first hurdle. We build the compliance currency that keeps you in the race. No certification now means no contract.

The Market is Shifting: Compliance is Your New "License to Trade"
From 2026, security certifications like Cyber Essentials Plus and ISO 27001 have become your most valuable commercial assets. Buyers are tightening their supply‑chain requirements, and the UK Cyber Resilience Bill is raising the bar for every organisation handling sensitive data or digital services.
You’re not losing contracts on price or capability - you’re losing them because you haven’t built the compliance currency to compete.
We act as your vCISO to build and protect that currency, keeping you eligible, competitive, and in the running for high‑value contracts.
vCISO Leadership. Without the Executive Salary.
Your Dedicated vCISO for Compliance and Cyber Resilience
We serve as the Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) for UK organisations that need to meet compliance standards, close security gaps, and stay competitive in today’s regulated supply chain. We bridge the gap between day‑to‑day IT and strategic resilience - helping you win contracts at a fraction of the cost of a full‑time CISO.
What is a Virtual CISO?
A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) is your outsourced security director - the person responsible for ensuring your business is compliant, resilient, and ready for any tender or audit.
We handle the complexity of your security roadmap so you can focus on growth with confidence.
How it Works
A 3-Stage Path to Market Domination
STEP 1
Audit Your Currency
We assess your business against the regulations and frameworks your clients expect. This reveals the risks that leave you exposed and the missing certifications that cause procurement teams to filter you out. You receive a clear, prioritised plan to build your compliance currency - including the bespoke policies needed to stay protected and audit‑ready.
As we implement the required controls and certifications, your compliance currency increases - making you eligible for more tenders and removing the barriers that previously filtered you out.
STEP 2
Build the Value
STEP 3
Protect Your Currency
We maintain your compliance, manage your risk register, monitor vulnerabilities, and provide board‑level reporting that proves your ongoing security maturity. Your currency stays strong, recognised, and ready for scrutiny.
Our Virtual CISO Services
Your compliance currency is built and protected across five core areas:
01
Risk Assessment & Management
We identify the gaps between your current security posture and the requirements of your clients, regulators, and the frameworks you must align with.
The Outcome:
Compliance Gap Analysis: Clear visibility of what’s blocking you from certifications such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, and where you fall short against frameworks like GDPR and the NCSC CAF.
A Strategic Remediation Plan: A prioritised roadmap focused on building your compliance currency quickly and efficiently.
Managed Risk Register: A live, maintained record of risks and progress - ready for audits, tenders, and board reporting.
We handle the heavy lifting of meeting and maintaining the regulatory standards your customers demand.
The Outcome:
Contract Readiness: You breeze through security questionnaires and due‑diligence checks.
Audit Preparedness: Evidence gathering, documentation, and control validation handled for you.
Continuous Compliance: You stay compliant as your business evolves - not just at audit time.
02
Compliance Management
03
Policy Development
We create human‑first, actionable policies that map directly to the controls and implementation tasks your business needs. We don’t just write them - we help you put them into practice.
The Outcome:
Actionable Governance: Policies your team can actually follow.
Control‑Linked Policies: Every policy maps to real implementation tasks.
Supported Delivery: We help ensure the work gets done, not just documented.
Your business is only as secure as the partners you rely on. We extend your security standards across your supply chain.
The Outcome:
Supplier Transparency: Know which vendors strengthen or weaken your compliance currency.
Risk‑Based Procurement: Make informed decisions based on real security maturity.
Due‑Diligence Evidence: Demonstrate active supply‑chain oversight during tenders and audits.

The Outcome:
A Strategic Roadmap: A clear plan that evolves with your business and regulatory landscape.
Board‑Level Clarity: Jargon‑free reporting that proves progress and justifies investment.
Executive Representation: We lead security discussions during audits, tenders, and negotiations.
