Cyber risk and supply chain attacks were considered emerging risks a decade ago, but today it has grown into a liability that costs businesses nearly £450 billion a year. The increasing frequency, sophistication, and ever-changing nature of cyber intrusions and data breaches continually challenge organizations’ cyber mitigation and risk management teams.

"We had to urgently renew our Cyber Security compliance. After contacting Ben, he came up with a simple turnkey solution within the timescales we needed. Ben went into action and assessed our situation, provided solutions and implemented actions that solved our situation. "

David, COO (Cheshire)

"Our business has grown rapidly for nearly a decade and our gut feeling was that our IT spend had got disproportionate to our needs. Ben worked with me, our FD, department heads and our suppliers to get a full understanding of what we had and how we used it. The result is a 22% reduction in costs and he even helped us reform our supplier relationships to get more value. All involved could not be happier, including our suppliers."

What we did:

- Audit of IT systems, services and suppliers
- Process identification and mapping
- Review of underutilised or duplicated systems
- Supplier negotiations and system design review
- Oversight of system changes and migrations
