Services // The control matrix

Six practices. One accountable team.

Most organisations buy security from four vendors and compliance from a consultant, then spend their week reconciling the three. We run the whole control set under one agreement, one SLA and one named analyst.

Onboarding in 30 days · No implementation fees · SLA credits automatic

01

Managed detection & response

A 24/7 security operations centre ingesting endpoint, identity, email and cloud telemetry, with human analysts on every escalation — never an alert queue that ends in a form.

Average containment · 8m 12s

  • Named analyst and direct escalation line
  • EDR deployed and tuned on every device
  • SIEM with twelve-month hot retention
  • 15-minute containment SLA
02

Compliance program management

One control set, mapped to every framework you report against, maintained month by month so audits become exports instead of projects.

Frameworks held · 9

  • Control matrix mapped across frameworks
  • Written policy suite, reviewed annually
  • Evidence collected continuously
  • Auditor liaison and questionnaire support
03

Vulnerability & penetration testing

Continuous scanning prioritised by real exploitability, paired with independent penetration tests timed to your audit and customer review cycles.

Critical findings closed · 96% within 7 days

  • Weekly authenticated internal scans
  • Continuous external attack-surface monitoring
  • Annual penetration test with retest
  • Remediation SLAs written into the plan
04

Identity & access governance

Identity is the perimeter now. We design the role model, enforce phishing-resistant MFA, and prove who had access to what, on which day.

Access reviews · quarterly, evidenced

  • SSO and conditional access engineering
  • Least-privilege role design
  • Quarterly access reviews with sign-off
  • Privileged access and offboarding controls
05

Endpoint & cloud hardening

Baselines for every device and workload, configuration drift corrected automatically, and cloud posture monitored against CIS and your own policies.

Patch compliance · 99.2% fleet average

  • CIS-aligned build baselines
  • Patch orchestration and reporting
  • Cloud posture management and drift alerts
  • Backup, recovery and resilience testing
06

Awareness, policy & response drills

The human layer, run as a control: simulated phishing, role-based training and tabletop exercises that rehearse the plan before an incident tests it.

Phish-prone rate · 2.1% after 90 days

  • Monthly phishing simulations
  • Role-based training for staff and executives
  • Tabletop incident exercises, twice yearly
  • Incident response runbooks maintained
Operating model

What the first thirty days look like.

Fixed sequence, fixed deliverables. Every phase ends with a document you can put in front of a board or an auditor.

01

Assess

Two weeks of discovery: identity, endpoint, cloud and data flows. You receive a written risk register scored by exploitability, not by vendor checklist.

02

Architect

We design one control set that satisfies every framework you report against, then sequence the remediation work against your operational calendar.

03

Operate

Our analysts run detection, response, patching and access review inside agreed SLAs. You get one named analyst and one escalation line.

04

Prove

Controls are evidenced continuously, so audits and enterprise security reviews become exports rather than fire drills.

06 // Vulnerability audit

Start with the assessment, not a contract.

Tell us what you are being asked to prove and who is asking. We will show you where the gaps are, what it costs to close them, and how long it takes.

  • 01A 30-minute scoping call with a senior analyst, not a salesperson.
  • 02A written assessment: risk register, framework gaps and a costed remediation plan.
  • 03No obligation to engage. The report is yours either way.
