Is this the right support for your business?
You need to understand current exposure, prioritise improvements or prepare an incident response plan that your team can use.
What you receive
A scoped assessment of risks and controls, prioritised remediation actions and an agreed roadmap. Incident response planning or testing coordination can be included where needed.
Where we start
Bring your main concerns, critical systems and any existing assessment findings. We agree review boundaries and responsibilities before accessing or assessing systems.
How pricing is agreed
System scope, assessment depth and the support required affect the fee. Specialist penetration testing is scoped and arranged separately where needed.
Working together locally
Based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, I work with businesses in Hull and across the East Riding. Remote sessions and on-site work can be agreed around the engagement. We confirm availability, travel and any on-site requirements when scoping the work.

What's included
Frequently asked questions
What will a security assessment deliver?
The agreed scope can include a review of critical assets, existing controls and vulnerabilities, followed by a prioritised risk register and remediation roadmap. The aim is to identify practical next steps, owners and evidence needed to track improvements.
Does this service include penetration testing?
I can help scope and coordinate penetration testing and work through the findings. Any testing requires explicit agreement on the systems, methods and responsibilities, with specialist testing services arranged separately where needed.
How does security consulting differ from IT compliance?
IT compliance focuses on requirements from laws, standards and assurance frameworks. Security consulting assesses your wider risks and practical controls. The work overlaps: a security roadmap can support compliance, while an audit alone does not establish that every security risk is addressed.
What does a cybersecurity risk assessment involve?
A risk assessment identifies your critical assets, maps potential threats and vulnerabilities, evaluates existing controls, and quantifies residual risk. I deliver a prioritised remediation roadmap so you can focus security investment where it matters most to your business.
Do you offer ongoing security advisory services?
Yes, I provide both project-based engagements and ongoing advisory relationships. Based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, I work with organisations across the UK offering regular security reviews, architecture guidance, and strategic advice to strengthen your security posture over time.
