Cyber Risk and Security Assurance

Security decisions you can defend.

New systems, cloud services, and material changes force a decision: proceed, change the design, or accept the risk. When the decision is yours, we give you an independent, senior assessment of what could go wrong, what it would cost your business, and what conditions would make the decision defensible.

When you need this

You have a decision to make, and it needs to hold up.

  • You need to sign off a go-live or major release, and you want evidence behind your signature
  • A cloud service or supplier needs approval faster than your assurance process can move
  • An auditor or regulator has asked you for an independent view of a system or architecture
  • A security exception is up for renewal again, and nobody has re-examined the risk it carries
  • A design or architecture decision is stuck until someone senior and independent gives a clear opinion
What this covers

Point-in-time assessments that end in a decision.

Cyber Risk Assessments

You are moving a new system, cloud service, or transformation programme forward, and nobody has established what could go wrong or what it would cost your business.

A structured assessment covering business criticality, threats, existing controls, inherent risk, residual risk, and treatment priorities. Scoped to support a decision.

Independent Security Opinions

You have a significant design, architecture, or service decision that needs a senior, independent view before it proceeds.

A senior practitioner reviews the proposal and gives a clear opinion: proceed, proceed with conditions, or do not proceed. Findings, approval conditions, and risk acceptance considerations are written for the person who has to sign.

Security Architecture Assurance

You are building or changing an architecture, and it needs to stand up to internal and regulatory scrutiny before it carries critical services.

Review of identity, access control, segregation, data protection, logging, resilience, privileged access, administration, and recovery. Where the finding is that the architecture needs transformation, our Zero Trust services take it from there.

Cloud Risk and Control Assessments

You are adopting cloud services faster than you can assess them, and internal policy or regulatory expectations require an independent view.

Independent assessment of AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, STACKIT, SaaS, and hybrid services against internal policy, recognised standards, and regulatory expectations. For ongoing cloud governance, see Cloud and Digital Security Governance.

Where to start

Start with one decision.

A clearly bounded engagement that is easy to understand and procure. Fixed scope, defined outputs, no further commitment.

Fixed scope

Cyber Risk Decision Review
