Cyber Security by Sector
We work with regulated UK businesses that have to prove their security, not just have it.
Every sector gets attacked differently, and every sector gets audited differently. A recruitment agency loses money to payroll redirection. A conveyancing firm loses it on completion day. The controls overlap, but the conversation does not. These pages are written for one sector at a time.
Sectors We Cover
Recruitment Agencies
Firms holding candidate passports, right to work documents and payroll bank details, losing money to invoice redirection and losing contracts to security questionnaires they cannot answer.
Conveyancing Law Firms
Firms moving client money on completion day, under CQS and Law Society scrutiny, where a single redirected payment is both a loss and a regulatory problem.
Property Groups and Franchise Networks
Head offices and franchisors carrying risk across a whole network, where one branch breach becomes every brand’s problem. We already look after more than 1,200 estate agency businesses.
Who We Work With
UK businesses in regulated or heavily audited sectors, typically 20 or more staff and often between 50 and 250 users, that sell to other businesses rather than to consumers. The common thread is that someone else, a client, a framework, an insurer or a regulator, is asking them to evidence their security.
That usually means Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, sometimes ISO 27001, and always a set of questions that has to be answered honestly rather than optimistically. We help firms close the gaps first and then evidence them, in that order.
How We Decide If We Are a Fit
We are deliberately narrow. Three things tell us quickly whether we can do real work for a business, or whether someone else would serve it better.
Someone Is Asking You to Prove It
A client, a framework, an insurer or a regulator wants evidence rather than assurances. That deadline is what makes the work real and what makes it worth doing properly.
You Sell to Businesses, Not Consumers
Consumer-facing firms carry a different risk profile and a different buying cycle. We would rather say so early than take on work we are not the best fit for.
You Have Grown Past One Person Watching Everything
Usually 20 or more staff, and often between 50 and 250 users. At that size the gaps stop being visible and start being structural.
Why Sector Pages Rather Than One Generic Page
Because a generic cyber security page asks a business owner to translate. Sector pages do the translating first, which is the whole point.
The Threat Is Sector-Specific:
A recruitment agency loses money to payroll and invoice redirection. A conveyancing firm loses it on completion day. Same underlying weakness, completely different story.
The Compliance Trigger Is Sector-Specific:
One sector is pushed by a PSL or a framework bid. Another is pushed by its own regulator or accreditation scheme. The wording of the question changes what the answer needs to be.
The Proof Has to Be Sector-Specific:
A case study from a different industry does not reassure anyone. Firms want to see someone who looks like them, with the same constraints and the same deadlines.
We Build One Sector at a Time:
We would rather have three sectors covered properly than twelve covered thinly. Each page only goes up once there is real work and real proof behind it.
If your sector is not here yet and you think it should be, tell us. That is usually how the next one gets built.
Not Sure Where You Fit?
If your sector is not listed yet, or you are somewhere between two of them, a short conversation will sort it out faster than a form will. We will tell you honestly if we are not the right people for it.
