Cyber Security Audit Services

Most businesses don’t know where their security gaps are until something goes wrong. Our cyber security audits give you a clear picture of your IT vulnerabilities — and a practical plan to fix them. We’ve been protecting London businesses since 2000.

Why Your Business Needs a Cyber Security Audit

Cyber attacks on UK businesses have doubled in the past three years, and SMEs are the most common targets. A firewall and antivirus aren't enough anymore — attackers exploit misconfigured systems, weak passwords, outdated software, and gaps your team doesn't even know about.
A cyber security audit cuts through the guesswork. Instead of hoping your defences hold up, you get a clear, honest assessment of where you stand — and what needs fixing first.
Whether you're preparing for Cyber Essentials certification, responding to a client's security questionnaire, or simply want to know your risks before they become incidents, an audit is the starting point.

What Our Cyber Security Audit Covers

Icon

Infrastructure & Network Review

We examine your firewalls, routers, switches and servers to check they're configured correctly and running the latest patches. We also review your Wi-Fi security, VPN setup, and how your internal network is segmented — because a flat network is an open invitation for attackers to move laterally once they're in.
Icon

User Access & Account Security

Stolen credentials are behind most breaches. We audit your user accounts, password policies, admin privileges and multi-factor authentication setup. If a former employee still has access to your systems, we'll find it.
Icon

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Having backups is not enough if they've never been tested. We verify your backup schedule, test your recovery process, and check that your business continuity plan actually works under pressure.
Icon

Compliance & Certification Readiness

Whether you're working towards Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, or need to demonstrate GDPR compliance, our audit maps your current position against the relevant framework and highlights exactly what's missing.
Icon

Email & Phishing Exposure

We assess your email security configuration — SPF, DKIM, DMARC records — and test how vulnerable your organisation is to phishing and impersonation attacks. This is where most attacks start.

How It Works

Icon

Discovery Call

We start with a conversation to understand your setup — what systems you use, how your team works, and what concerns you have. No jargon, no sales pitch. We just need to know what we're walking into.
Icon

Full Security Assessment

Our engineers review your infrastructure, accounts, email configuration, backups and compliance posture. We use industry-standard tools alongside manual checks — automated scans miss things that experienced eyes don't.
Icon

Audit Report & Recommendations

You receive a clear, prioritised report. Not a 50-page document full of technical noise — a practical breakdown of what's critical, what's moderate, and what can wait. Every finding comes with a recommended fix.

Remediation Support

We don't hand you a report and disappear. If you need help implementing the fixes, our team can handle it — or work alongside your existing IT staff to get it done.
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the size of your setup, but most audits for SMEs take between two and five days. We’ll give you a clear timeline after the discovery call.

At least once a year, or after any major change — new office, staff turnover, system migration, or a security incident. Threats evolve fast, and what was secure twelve months ago might not be today.

No. Most of the assessment is done remotely with zero disruption to your day-to-day operations. If we need on-site access, we’ll schedule it around your team.

An audit is a broad review of your entire security posture — policies, systems, access, backups, compliance. Penetration testing is a targeted simulated attack on specific systems. They complement each other, but an audit is the right starting point if you’ve never had one.

Yes. Our audit maps directly against the Cyber Essentials framework. We’ll tell you exactly where you pass, where you don’t, and what to fix before applying.
