The Challenge

Enterprise customers were asking hard questions — MFA coverage, patching cadence, joiner-leaver process, incident response — and every questionnaire took weeks of scrambling. The firm needed a defensible security posture, not a binder of aspirational policies.

What We Built

  • Ran a posture assessment across identity, endpoints, email, and cloud — ranked findings by what an attacker would actually do first, not by framework checkbox order.
  • Closed the high-impact gaps: enforced MFA and conditional access, locked down admin accounts, set a patching rhythm, and stood up sensible offboarding.
  • Built the Cyber Essentials Plus evidence pack and a reusable questionnaire library, so the next security review is an afternoon's work — not a fortnight's.
