A scan report is not a result.
Security work only matters if it changes something. Every engagement ends with a prioritised set of findings, a remediation plan and a target architecture.
We assess against recognised frameworks so the output stands up to an auditor as well as an engineer.
What the engagement leaves behind
- 01
- Prioritised findings
- Risk-rated, so the order of work is decided before anyone opens a ticket.
- 02
- A remediation plan
- Guidance attached to every finding, not a list handed over without a route out.
- 03
- A target architecture
- The state the estate is being moved towards, with its controls designed in.
- 01 Security Architecture Review A systematic evaluation of IT systems, infrastructure and processes to assess security posture, identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the architecture, and confirm alignment with security best practice and industry standards.
- 02 Security Audits & Assessments Infrastructure audit and assessment against company security policy and compliance requirements, typically using frameworks such as ISO 27001 or NIST.
- 03 Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessment Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment to identify, assess and remediate security weaknesses before attackers exploit them, with risk-rated findings and remediation guidance.
- 04 Application Security Review Application security review at source-code level, assessing how an application handles authentication, data and its own dependencies.
- 05 Security Governance & Compliance Development of security policy and governance frameworks, establishing the controls that keep an organisation compliant and reduce security risk.

From the shape of the perimeter down to how a single application handles a password.
Findings that map to a named standard, not a house opinion.
What we assess against
- ISO 27001
- Information security management
- Findings are mapped to specific control clauses rather than a generic checklist — the shape an assessment needs when the output has to satisfy a certification body or an enterprise procurement questionnaire.
- NIST
- Identify, protect, detect, respond, recover
- Useful where a client's own compliance obligations, insurer, or parent organisation already expect a NIST-aligned posture, so the assessment speaks the same language as the audit that follows it.
The same four stages, whatever the engagement.
-
01
Assess
Establish the current state against your actual requirements — scope, users, performance expectations and compliance obligations.
-
02
Design
Produce the target architecture with its security controls designed in, plus the tactical plan to reach it.
-
03
Deploy
Build, configure and cut over — leaving as-built documentation and standard operating procedures behind.
-
04
Run
Operate, monitor and maintain the compliance position, so the estate does not drift back from the design.
Before you get in touch.
Can you work alongside an internal security team or an existing MSSP?
Yes. The first piece of work on any engagement is agreeing where the boundary sits — which systems, which escalation path, which decisions stay with your team — and writing it down, so responsibility is never ambiguous mid-engagement.
Is the assessment independent of any design work you did for us?
Assessments are carried out against the recognised frameworks above and findings are reported as they are found, regardless of who produced the underlying design — including us. Say so early if you need a fully separate assessor for governance reasons, and we will structure it that way.
Can testing be scoped to specific systems only?
Yes — scope is agreed up front, whether that is a single application, a production versus staging boundary, or a defined subnet. Nothing outside the agreed scope is touched without a separate, explicit sign-off.
What do we actually receive at the end of an engagement?
The three things described above: risk-rated findings, a remediation plan attached to each one, and a target architecture with its controls designed in — not a raw scan export.
