Data Discovery & Classification
We identify repositories, cloud buckets, collaboration workspaces, exports, backups, and shadow stores. Findings are converted into a practical classification model that owners can maintain after the project.

What we deliver
Security services built around the real value of your data.
Every engagement starts with business context. We document the systems that matter, the data that creates risk, and the operational constraints that make security controls succeed or fail.
Security Architecture Reviews
Our consultants review identity boundaries, network segmentation, SaaS configuration, endpoint controls, logging coverage, encryption, and administrative paths with a focus on exploitable weakness rather than paperwork.
Governance & Compliance Mapping
We translate ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, GDPR, vendor assurance, and internal policies into clear control evidence, ownership, review cadence, and management reporting.
Incident Response Preparation
We create escalation routes, evidence capture guides, communication plans, containment playbooks, and tabletop scenarios that reflect the systems your teams actually use.
The Courthouse Method
A defensible security programme with a clear chain of evidence.
Inspired by our High Wycombe address, the Courthouse Method is a structured approach for making security decisions traceable. It helps leadership see why each control exists, what risk it reduces, and how success is measured.
- 01Establish the facts
Interview system owners, map data paths, inspect technical controls, and gather logs, policies, diagrams, and access records.
- 02Build the case
Prioritise findings by business impact, regulatory exposure, likelihood, and implementation complexity.
- 03Apply controls
Harden identity, reduce data exposure, improve backup integrity, introduce detection, and remove unnecessary privilege.
- 04Rehearse response
Run realistic exercises covering ransomware, credential compromise, data leakage, supplier breach, and executive communications.
Operational insight
Content-rich reporting for boards, IT teams, and auditors.
Board Risk Narrative
Clear summaries connect cyber risk with customer trust, service continuity, legal obligations, and investment decisions. We avoid technical noise and focus on choices leadership can make.
Technical Remediation Backlog
Engineers receive a sequenced backlog with owners, dependencies, quick wins, validation steps, and evidence expectations for each item.
Audit Evidence Library
We organise policies, screenshots, logs, configuration exports, meeting notes, control tests, and approval trails so external reviews become less disruptive.
Why clients choose us
Precise, calm, and commercially aware security guidance.
We work with leadership teams, internal IT departments, outsourced providers, legal advisors, and operational managers. Our role is to make security understandable without diluting the detail needed to act.
“The strongest security programme is one that people can explain, test, and maintain after the consultants leave.”
