Our process

It’s our job to define your requirements clearly, make suppliers compete on a level playing field and benchmark commercials against real market conditions.

Acting as a buffer between you and the market, we handle supplier chasing, manage Q&A, and prevent your team from being bombarded.

We focus on outcomes, meaning you can leverage our existing industry relationships and buying power when negotiating your next contracts, resulting in lower prices than the industry average.

Talk to our IT procurement specialists

1. Discovery

We start by understanding your current environment, challenges and objectives.

This isn’t a surface-level conversation. We identify what’s working, what isn’t and what success needs to look like, so our goals are clear from the start.

2. Define brief

We translate your needs into a clear, structured brief.

Technical requirements, commercial priorities, timelines and constraints are all defined upfront. This means potential suppliers respond properly, and like-for-like comparisons become possible.

3. Market review & shortlist

We identify the right suppliers based on fit, not familiarity.

Instead of defaulting to known vendors, we build a shortlist based on capability, service quality and long-term suitability for your business.

4. Supplier evaluation

We manage this process, so you don’t have to.

From supplier engagement and demos to Q&A and proposal analysis, we cut through sales messaging and present clear, comparable options.

5. Commercial negotiation

We make suppliers compete on a level playing field.

Pricing is benchmarked against the market, terms are challenged and contracts are structured to protect your business, not the supplier’s.

6. Selection & implementation support

Unlike other consultants, we don’t stop there. We stay involved to make sure your chosen tech delivers.

We’ll be there to resolve issues and ensure your platform performs as expected.

Frequently asked questions

What is cyber security and why is it important for businesses?

Cyber security is about protecting your systems, data and users from threats such as hacking, phishing and data breaches.

For most businesses, this includes securing networks, devices, email systems and access to applications. As more operations move online and become cloud-based, the risks increase, making it essential to have the right protection in place.

Strong cyber security reduces the likelihood of disruption, protects sensitive data and helps maintain trust with customers and partners.

What does a cyber security consultancy do?

A cyber security consultancy helps you understand your current security position, identify risks and determine what level of protection your business actually needs.

Rather than delivering a single product or service, they help you assess your options, compare cyber security solution providers and choose the right combination of tools and services.

This approach is particularly valuable in a crowded market, where different cyber security consulting firms and providers offer overlapping solutions with varying levels of effectiveness and cost.

How do I choose between cyber security software providers?

Choosing between cyber security software providers requires more than comparing features or pricing.

You need to consider how each provider’s solution fits your business, including the level of protection offered, how services are managed, response times, scalability and long-term cost.

Running a structured comparison process helps ensure you’re evaluating providers on a like-for-like basis and not making decisions based on incomplete or biased information.

What are cyber security managed services?

Cyber security managed services involve outsourcing the monitoring, management and response to security threats to a specialist provider.

This can include services such as managed detection and response, firewall management, endpoint protection and ongoing monitoring. These services are designed to provide continuous protection without requiring internal teams to manage everything themselves.

The right approach depends on your internal capability, risk profile and how much responsibility you want to retain.

What is the difference between a cyber security consultant and a provider?

A cyber security provider delivers the tools or services, such as monitoring, firewall management or threat detection.

A cyber security consultant or consultancy focuses on helping you assess your requirements, compare providers and choose the right solution. They are independent of any single vendor, which allows for more objective decision-making.

This distinction is important because it reduces the risk of being guided towards a solution that isn’t the best fit.

When should a business review its cyber security setup?

Businesses typically review their cyber security setup when risks increase or their current approach becomes unclear.

Common triggers include growth, moving to the cloud, adopting remote working, compliance requirements or experiencing a security incident. Rising costs or a lack of visibility into how well current systems are performing can also prompt a review.

A proactive review helps identify gaps early and avoid more serious issues later.
