Security Posture Assessment

Know where you stand - and what to do next.

Request your Security Posture Assessment See what we assess

Benchmark current cybersecurity maturity, identify gaps, and quantify human and technical risks – so you can prioritise the actions that reduce risk fastest.

Cybersecurity today is layered – controls, processes and people all matter. Our Security Posture Assessment is designed for organisations that want to review and improve current controls, weaknesses and documentation, and walk away with recommendations and reports that provide clear steps for taking cybersecurity to the next level.

Who this is for

This assessment is for leaders who need clarity, confidence and a plan.

  • CEO / Board: You need confidence you can evidence – not assumptions.
  • CIO / IT Leadership: You need a prioritised roadmap that your team can execute.
  • Security / Risk / Compliance: You need measurable improvement, aligned to recognised frameworks and best practices.

What you get

A clear, prioritised roadmap – backed by evidence

At the end of the assessment, you receive a final report presented in a session with a senior member of the security team, detailing your posture across the assessed sections and giving you a clear outline of what should be next on your security roadmap.

You’ll leave with:

  • A benchmark of your cybersecurity maturity and where the biggest risks sit today.
  • A prioritised gap list that translates findings into clear next steps.
  • Actionable recommendations and reports designed to move you forward, not overwhelm you.

What we assess

We review your environment using governance frameworks, best-practice frameworks and tooling, designed to optimise security across five key areas (depending on the service tier). 

  1. Asset Security
    Get visibility of vulnerabilities across assets reachable by agent or network appliance, with a focus on Critical and High vulnerabilities inside the scope of Cyber Essentials. We also review patching status to identify missing 1st and 3rd party patches.
  2. Compliance & Risk
    We review your information security posture and assess alignment with frameworks such as ISO 27001.
  3. Network & Email Security
    We audit a sample of network devices to confirm configurations are aligned to best practices and appropriate controls are implemented.
  4. Identity & Access
    We provide visibility into gaps and shortfalls across cloud services such as Azure and AWS.
  5. Security Operations
    We evaluate your security operations processes, policies and procedures to identify gaps and areas for improvement

Get a board‑ready view of your security posture

We’ll baseline your security across assets, identity, network/email, compliance & risk, and security operations - then deliver a clear, prioritised roadmap of what to fix next.

How the assessment works

Structured. Evidence-based. Actionable.

We deliver a structured, evidence-based methodology that starts with scoping and stakeholder engagement, followed by technical assessment of controls, identification and prioritisation of gaps, and delivery of clear remediation guidance.

What this means in practice:

  • We align on scope and stakeholders (so you get answers that matter to your business).
  • We assess controls and posture across the five areas (tier-dependent) using frameworks and tooling.
  • We prioritise gaps and recommend the next actions so effort goes where it reduces risk fastest.
  • We deliver a final report session with a senior cybersecurity lead and a clear roadmap.

Why start here (instead of jumping straight to tools)

Because this gives you clarity before complexity:

  • You can benchmark maturity, identify what’s missing, and quantify risk.
  • You can connect findings into a practical roadmap across governance, visibility, access control, device/data protection, user readiness and SecOps – consistent with your Secure Productivity proposition.

Frequently Asked Question

What is a Security Posture Assessment?
A Security Posture Assessment is a structured review of your current security controls, gaps, and priorities — designed to show you what’s working, what’s at risk, and what to fix next. You’ll leave with clear recommendations and a practical security roadmap.

What does a Security Posture Assessment cover?
Our Security Posture Assessment reviews your environment across five areas: Asset Security, Compliance & Risk, Network & Email Security, Identity & Access, and Security Operations.

What’s the difference between a Security Posture Assessment and vulnerability scanning?
Vulnerability scanning finds weaknesses in systems. A Security Posture Assessment goes wider – it can include vulnerability visibility and patching status as part of Asset Security, but it also looks at identity/access controls, policy and framework alignment, network/email protections, and security operations maturity.

Do you assess Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus readiness?
Yes. The assessment focuses on critical and high vulnerabilities that fall within the scope of Cyber Essentials, and your output can be used to prioritise the actions needed to strengthen your posture in that direction.

Can this help with ISO 27001?
Yes. The assessment includes a Compliance & Risk view that reviews your information security posture and alignment with frameworks such as ISO 27001, including policies and procedures.

What do we get at the end of the Security Posture Assessment?
You receive a final report and a walkthrough session with a senior security consultant. The report summarises your security posture across the assessment areas and gives a clear outline of recommended next steps on your security roadmap.

Do you review identity security (MFA, Conditional Access, access controls)?
Yes. Identity & Access is one of the core assessment areas, designed to highlight gaps and shortfalls in your cloud services. Your coverage can include controls such as Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA) and Conditional Access depending on scope.

Do you assess cloud environments like Azure or AWS?
Yes. The Identity & Access element is designed to assess gaps in cloud services such as Azure and AWS.

Do you review network and email security too?
Yes. The assessment includes Network & Email Security, where we audit a sample of network devices to confirm they’re configured in line with best practices and have appropriate controls in place.

Do you review our security operations (SOC, monitoring, incident response)?
Yes. Security Operations is a core assessment area. We evaluate your security operations, policies, and procedures to identify areas for improvement.
(Your broader coverage map includes operational security capabilities such as SOC / SIEM / XDR as areas that may be relevant depending on what’s in scope.)

What do you need from us to run the assessment?
We start by agreeing scope and involving the right stakeholders. Then we assess controls, identify gaps, prioritise what matters most, and provide clear remediation guidance in the final report.

Will you help us fix the issues you find?
The assessment gives you a prioritised roadmap and clear recommendations. Your coverage matrix also distinguishes what’s included in the assessment versus what may be delivered as an ongoing managed service – so you can decide what you want help implementing.
