Cyber Security Consultancy Services

Cyber security consultancy, vCISO, assurance and technical review services for organisations that need clear security priorities.

How we help

Advisory first, with assurance and technical support where it is needed.

We start with the reason for the enquiry: a customer assurance request, a certification deadline, a security concern or a need for ongoing advice. We then recommend the scope of work.

Choosing the right starting point

The starting point depends on what you need: a specific certification, a technical review, help with customer assurance or regular senior guidance.

Be Secure Cyber is based in Glasgow and delivers practical consultancy, certification support and security improvement guidance for organisations across the UK.

We will help you choose a sensible starting point. That may be Cyber Essentials support, Cyber Essentials Plus readiness, NCSC Cyber Advisor support , a Microsoft 365 Security Review , IASME Cyber Assurance , vulnerability assessment , cloud security review , Exposure Management or an ongoing vCISO arrangement.

A one-off assessment can establish your position and define immediate actions. If you need recurring oversight, managed vulnerability scanning provides scheduled discovery and tracking, while managed Cyber Essentials brings annual certification, monitoring and renewal preparation into one cycle. Exposure Management is the broader option where vulnerability data needs to be considered alongside cloud, identity, business context and governance.

Certification, assurance and practical security support

We explain the requirements and help you establish what work is needed to meet them.

Cyber Essentials is often the starting point. From there, we help organisations decide whether they need technical verification, Microsoft 365 security review, supplier assurance support, IASME Cyber Assurance or ongoing vCISO support.

How engagements usually work

Most work starts with a discussion about the current driver: a customer request, tender, audit finding, internal concern, certification deadline or need for more structured security leadership. We then agree the scope, outputs and responsibilities before work begins.
