If you’ve identified a security weakness but aren’t sure how to address it, we research and design a security control that fits your current setup and how your business actually operates.
Security controls aren’t just about technology. Effective long-term controls combine technology with monitoring or governance processes to ensure they continue to function as expected.
Control Design
As an independent consultant, any designed control must be implementable and maintainable by you or your IT provider without ongoing dependency on us.
What You Receive
- Design Documentation: The chosen security control, why we chose this approach, and implementation details to a mutually agreed level
- Clear Description: What the security control does and how it addresses the identified risk
Implementation Support (Optional)
If you need hands-on support putting designed controls in place, this optional phase provides technical guidance during deployment. This is a fixed-term engagement focused on getting controls operational and ensuring your team can maintain them independently afterward.
We support you through vendor selection, configuration review, testing, and knowledge transfer. The engagement is structured around your team (or your IT provider) doing the implementation work, with us providing expert guidance, reviewing configurations, troubleshooting issues, and verifying that deployments meet design specifications.
Activities May Include
- Vendor and tooling evaluation (researching options, comparing capabilities, providing recommendations)
- Configuration review and validation (ensuring settings align with security objectives)
- Technical guidance during deployment (answering questions, troubleshooting, reviewing progress)
- Confirming deployed security controls work as designed
- Knowledge transfer and handover (configuration documentation, step-by-step guides, team training)
What You Receive
- Validation Report: Confirmation that security controls are working correctly and meet design specifications
- Configuration Documentation: For ongoing maintenance
- Handover Materials: Step-by-step guides and troubleshooting documents enabling independent operation
Independence by Design
This phase ensures controls are deployed correctly while maintaining your independence. When the engagement ends, you have everything needed to operate and maintain the controls without ongoing consultant support.
This service works well following a Security Strategy Development engagement, where we’ve already identified which controls to prioritise.
Is This For You?
This service is designed for:
- Small to medium businesses who know what security gaps to address but need help designing the solution
- Companies whose IT provider lacks security-specific expertise
- Organisations wanting to implement controls without creating ongoing consultant dependency
- Businesses needing vendor-neutral guidance on security tooling and configuration
