Identity & access
MFA, privileged access, account lifecycle and core access practices.
A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT
Understand where you stand before deciding what to fix.
The Health Check is designed for businesses that want a structured view of their current position without beginning with a large security transformation programme.
Cyber fundamentals
Review identity, email, devices, cloud, backups, suppliers, incidents and other controls relevant to your environment.
AI use and governance
Understand important AI tools, sensitive-data exposure, employee practices and whether clear governance exists.
Leadership clarity
Translate security observations into a concise view of the issues that deserve management attention.
Prioritised actions
Focus time and budget on practical improvements rather than trying to address everything at once.
WHAT WE LOOK AT
Broad enough to expose blind spots, focused enough to stay useful.
Email, devices & cloud
Security configuration, patching, endpoint controls and administration.
Backups & resilience
Recovery readiness, incidents, suppliers and continuity considerations.
AI tools & data
Important AI use, sensitive information, shadow AI and employee behaviour.
Policies & ownership
Security responsibilities, governance, awareness and escalation routes.
Current roadmap
Existing projects, known issues and the constraints that affect improvement priorities.
WHEN IT HELPS
Useful when you need direction, not another generic checklist.
- Before investing in new security tools or services
- When AI adoption is moving faster than governance
- When customers ask tougher security questions
- When internal teams need an independent perspective
- When responsibilities have grown organically
- When leadership needs a practical security roadmap
The Health Check is an advisory assessment. It is not a certification, penetration test, legal opinion or guarantee that a business is secure.
PROCESS
Four clear stages.
01
Kickoff
Understand the business, technology environment and reason for the review.
02
Assessment
Review the agreed cyber controls, AI use and supporting evidence.
03
Prioritisation
Identify the most important findings and practical improvement sequence.
04
Walkthrough
Discuss results, trade-offs and sensible next steps with management.
FAQ
Health Check questions
How long does the assessment take?
Timing depends on scope, business size and the availability of information. The assessment approach is agreed before work starts.
Will we receive a report?
Yes. The intended deliverable is a clear summary of findings, priorities and recommended next steps appropriate to the agreed scope.
Does this certify us as secure?
No. No assessment can guarantee security, and the Health Check is not a formal certification.
