The controls behind the certificate.
Every framework asks whether your controls actually operate. These are the services that make sure they do — and that produce the evidence your auditor will ask for.
Managed Detection & Response
Continuous monitoring across your endpoints, network, and cloud, backed by analysts who investigate and contain — not just alert. It’s also the continuous-monitoring control most frameworks name directly, and the alert history it produces is the evidence an auditor samples to confirm it operates.
- 24/7 threat monitoring and alerting
- Alert triage by a human analyst, not just a rule engine
- Containment actions on confirmed incidents
- Monthly reporting and trend review
- Ongoing tuning to cut alert fatigue
You find out about intrusions in minutes, not from a customer six weeks later.
Penetration Testing & VAPT
Manual testing that goes beyond what a scanner finds, scoped to the systems that actually matter to your business. A current test report is also the specific piece of evidence SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS all ask for by name.
- Network, application, and API testing
- Manual exploitation, not just automated scans
- Findings ranked by real-world exploitability
- Clear reproduction steps for every finding
- Retest included once fixes are in place
You get a ranked, exploitable-first report you can actually hand to engineering.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous scanning turned into a patch plan your team can actually execute, ordered by the risk that matters. It’s a control that has to operate on a cadence, not just exist once — precisely what an auditor samples across the period under review.
- Continuous internal and external scanning
- Risk-ranked remediation plans, not raw scan dumps
- Coordination with your existing patch cadence
- Verification scan on every close-out
- Reporting on exposure trends over time
Patch effort goes where exploitation risk actually is, not where the scanner shouted loudest.
Security Awareness Training
Practical training and simulated phishing that changes behaviour, not a once-a-year compliance checkbox. It’s also one of the controls most frameworks require by name, and the completion and phishing-simulation records are what an auditor actually samples.
- Simulated phishing campaigns
- Role-based training for high-risk teams
- Bite-sized modules employees actually finish
- Progress tracking and reporting for auditors
- Refresher content on current attacker techniques
Your staff stop being the easiest way in.
Incident Response
A tested response plan and a team on call, so containment starts immediately instead of after a scramble to find help. Frameworks don’t just ask whether a plan exists — they ask for evidence it has been tested, which is the difference between a document and a control that operates.
- Incident response plan built for your environment
- On-call access to senior responders
- Rapid containment and eradication
- Root-cause investigation, not just cleanup
- Post-incident report and hardening recommendations
When it happens, you already know who does what — and the clock starts at minute zero, not day three.
Cloud Security
Configuration, identity, and workload security reviewed against the cloud provider’s own hardening guidance. That review becomes the configuration evidence a framework asks for when it wants proof cloud access is actually controlled.
- Cloud configuration and posture review
- Identity and access privilege hardening
- Workload and container security checks
- Logging and alerting coverage review
- Guidance mapped to provider-specific benchmarks
Your AWS, Azure, or GCP estate stops leaking access through defaults nobody revisited.
How each service is delivered.
| Service | Delivery | Typical cadence | Best paired with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managed Detection & Response | Remote monitoring with named analysts | Continuous, around the clock | Vulnerability Management |
| Penetration Testing & VAPT | Remote or on-site testing engagement | Annually or after major releases | Vulnerability Management |
| Vulnerability Management | Continuous scanning with scheduled reviews | Weekly to monthly, by asset criticality | Managed Detection & Response |
| Security Awareness Training | Online modules with simulated phishing | Quarterly campaigns | Incident Response |
| Incident Response | Retainer with an on-call response team | As-needed, plan reviewed annually | Managed Detection & Response |

However you want to work with us.
Project
Fixed scope, fixed timeline, defined deliverable.
Retained
Ongoing coverage with a named consultant and agreed response times.
Embedded
We work inside your team’s tooling and rituals for a set period.
We also build the software.
Security testing and secure software development, under one roof. If we find the gaps, we can help you close them in the code itself.
Part of a compliance programme, not a substitute for one.
These are the controls a framework asks to see operating, and the evidence they produce along the way. The governance structure that ties them together lives in governance, risk & compliance, mapped against whichever of the frameworks we cover applies to you.
