Security Programme Management

Many security programmes struggle to demonstrate return on investment. We can help you turn your strategy, audit or assessment into pragmatic, action and execution to effectively and efficiently implement security improvements within your environment.

“I need expert, independent advice that helps me understand why my security programme is off track or failing to deliver, so that I can take appropriate action.”

We even help built internal capability and mentor staff while we’re at it.

Understanding your journey

"Cydea provided us with genuine perspective on what we needed to focus on, highlighting potential risks relevant to our business, along with practical and pragmatic recommendations to overcome them." Wajid, Global Media Agency

We understand that each organisation is at a different point on their cyber security journey and each will have a unique set of objectives and constraints:

  • Start-ups, scale-ups and growing organisations needing to formalise their cyber capability
  • Established functions looking for management or implementation support for planned improvements
  • Recovery and improvement programmes needed to satisfy stakeholders in the wake of breach or incident
  • Management assurance for larger programmes to validate structure and progress

How we can help

We use agile approaches to deliver sustained, incremental security improvements that manage your risk. Following this model we have helped larger organisations achieve compliance with international standards like ISO 27001 within six months, 2-3x faster than traditionally expected.

Once you have conducted a cyber risk assessment, information security audit or penetration test, you then need to act on the findings. We help organisations to prioritise findings and requirements and build a pragmatic, achievable security programmes that succeed.

Many security programmes struggle to demonstrate return on investment. We’ll conduct a programme review looking at your underlying cyber capability and compare your programme plan to a cyber risk assessment. This will call out any gaps — in foundational capability, or focus — so that you can take the appropriate corrective action.

Our structured programmes can help you achieve compliance and certification to recognised industry frameworks, such as Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 and NIST.
