Proactive Defence, Not Reactive Panic

In cybersecurity, the best defense is a proactive offense. We help you move from a reactive state of fixing breaches to a proactive posture of preventing them. Identifying weaknesses before they are exploited is the most effective way to reduce risk and protect your assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions about our cybersecurity services. If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

  • What is the difference between a Vulnerability Assessment and a Penetration Test?

    A Vulnerability Assessment is a broad, automated scan to find known weaknesses (the "what"). A Penetration Test is a manual, human-led effort to actively exploit those weaknesses to determine the actual risk and business impact (the "so what"). We recommend both for a comprehensive view.

  • What do we receive at the end of an engagement?

    You will receive a detailed report containing a jargon-free executive summary for management and a technical deep-dive for your IT team. The report includes all findings, business impact, evidence, risk levels, and clear, actionable recommendations for remediation.

  • Why choose PTaaS over a one-off test?

    Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) provides continuous security insights. In a dynamic environment where code and configurations change daily, a single annual test can quickly become outdated. PTaaS ensures you stay on top of new vulnerabilities as they emerge, offering better value and coverage.

  • How do we start the Incident Response process?

    If you suspect a breach, call our 24/7 Incident Response hotline immediately. The first steps are critical. We will guide you on immediate actions to take to preserve evidence and begin the containment process to minimise damage.
