Service
Cyber Security
Security posture you can evidence to a board or a regulator.
Executive summary
What this practice is for.
Security failures are rarely exotic. They are unmanaged access, unpatched systems, untested backups and unclear ownership.
We assess posture against a recognised framework, fix the material gaps and leave you with governance that keeps the posture from decaying.
Specialist testing is coordinated with accredited partners; remediation engineering is done by us.
Business challenges
What we are usually called in to fix.
Unmanaged access
Leavers retain accounts and privileged access is shared.
Unknown exposure
Nobody holds a current inventory of internet-facing assets.
Untested recovery
Continuity plans exist on paper and have never been exercised.
Audit pressure
Client and regulator questionnaires arrive faster than evidence can be produced.
Why traditional approaches fail
- A penetration test is treated as a security programme.
- Controls are documented but not enforced technically.
- Security is separated from engineering, so fixes never ship.
- Third-party risk is unmanaged despite deep system access.
Methodology
The SJAIN method.
Six stages, each with defined inputs, outputs and owners.
- Step 01
Assess
Posture assessment against ISO 27001 or equivalent control set.
- Step 02
Prioritise
Rank findings by exploitability and business impact, not by scanner severity.
- Step 03
Remediate
Engineer fixes into the platform and pipeline, not into a spreadsheet.
- Step 04
Control
Implement identity, access, logging and monitoring controls.
- Step 05
Exercise
Rehearse incident response and recovery with the real teams.
- Step 06
Govern
Establish cadence, ownership and evidence generation.

Architecture overview
How it is built.
- 01
Central identity provider with MFA and conditional access.
- 02
Just-in-time privileged access with session recording.
- 03
Segmented networks and private data plane access.
- 04
Centralised log collection with retention aligned to policy.
- 05
Immutable, offsite backups with regular restore verification.
Implementation process
Weeks 1–3
Assessment and prioritised remediation roadmap.
Weeks 4–12
Control implementation and hardening.
Ongoing
Quarterly review, exercise and evidence refresh.
Security & compliance
- Least privilege enforced technically, not by policy alone
- Separation of duties across build, deploy and operate
- Continuous scanning across code, dependencies and infrastructure
- Documented, exercised incident response
