Cyber security consultancy for better decisions
Be Secure Cyber provides independent cyber security advice to organisations that need to assess risk, respond to assurance requirements or plan improvements.
An engagement may cover a security review, an improvement plan, a customer assurance request or a roadmap for ongoing improvements supported by a vCISO arrangement.
Consultancy based in Glasgow, working across the UK
Be Secure Cyber is a cyber security consultancy based in Glasgow, supporting organisations across the UK. Most work can be delivered remotely, with practical security reviews, leadership reporting and improvement planning shaped around the organisation’s risk, assurance pressure and current IT arrangements.
We consider your current controls, the evidence customers or suppliers require, and the work needed to address any gaps.
When consultancy support can help
Consultancy support is often useful when:
- customers, suppliers or tenders ask for evidence of your security controls
- your leadership team needs a better picture of cyber risk
- you are preparing for Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus or IASME Cyber Assurance
- you need a security roadmap with agreed priorities and responsibilities
- you want independent advice before investing in tools or services
- your internal team needs external support to prioritise improvements
What we can cover
Typical consultancy work may include:
- security posture reviews
- risk assessment and prioritisation
- cyber security roadmaps
- policy and governance improvement
- supplier assurance and customer questionnaire support
- Microsoft 365, Azure and infrastructure security reviews
- vulnerability assessment and remediation planning
- vCISO and ongoing advisory support
Clear outputs
We aim to produce outputs that are useful in practice: prioritised recommendations, concise reporting and advice that reflects your organisation’s size, budget, systems and risk profile.
The format depends on the work agreed:
- Security review: findings and recommendations for the area being assessed
- Improvement plan: actions in priority order, with the larger changes separated from work that can start sooner
- Leadership reporting: a summary of the risks and decisions that need management attention
- Assurance support: help explaining your controls and preparing responses to customer or supplier questions
We agree which outputs you need when scoping the engagement.
How consultancy engagements typically work
Most engagements start with a short discussion to understand the current driver: a customer request, tender, audit finding, internal concern, certification requirement or need for more structured security leadership.
We then agree the scope, expected outputs and responsibilities for the work.
Engagements can be scoped as a fixed piece of work, a defined review, or an ongoing advisory arrangement depending on the organisation’s needs.
Who we work with
Typical clients include:
- SMEs that have reached a point where informal security management is no longer sufficient
- professional organisations responding to customer or public sector supply chain requirements
- organisations that use internal or outsourced IT support and need an independent view of their security position
- leadership teams that need prioritised security advice without building an internal function
- organisations preparing for Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, IASME Cyber Assurance or a technical security review
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with organisations that already have an IT provider?
Yes. Most organisations already have some form of internal IT support, outsourced IT provider or supplier relationship. Consultancy support can work alongside those arrangements, help clarify what the provider manages and identify where decisions remain with the business.
Can consultancy lead to ongoing support?
Yes. Some engagements are scoped as a one-off review. Others develop into ongoing vCISO support where regular guidance, governance and reporting are needed.
Do you publish prices?
No. The scope, format and depth of consultancy work varies considerably depending on the organisation, its size and the security issues it needs to address. Speak to us to discuss the right starting point.
