Following a baseline assessment, we work with you to develop a practical roadmap for closing the security gaps identified. This isn’t a generic security framework; it’s a focused plan based on your actual systems and the risks that matter to your business.
Our Approach
Translating Findings to Investments
We translate technical findings into investment decisions: what to tackle first, what provides the best risk reduction for your budget, and what can wait. You have input throughout. This is about finding the right balance for your business, not imposing a one-size-fits-all solution.
The strategy distinguishes between:
- Quick wins: Things you can implement immediately with minimal cost or effort
- Longer-term improvements: Changes that require more planning, budget, or coordination
Practical Specificity
The strategy balances practical specificity with implementation flexibility:
For business processes, we provide clear direction (like “verify payment changes via phone callback to a known number”).
For technical controls, we specify what to achieve (like “enable multi-factor authentication on key accounts for system X”) without step-by-step setup instructions.
When tooling is needed, we indicate the category and provide examples (like “email security filtering; options include Mimecast, Proofpoint, or Microsoft Defender”) so you can evaluate what fits your budget and existing systems.
What You Receive
- Strategy Document: Recommended security controls and how to put them in place (whether through your existing IT support, new tools, or staff training)
- Prioritised Roadmap: What each improvement will roughly cost in time and money
- Quick Wins Identification: Clear separation of immediate actions from longer-term investments
Using This Strategy
The strategy document is written for your context, referencing your specific systems and explaining recommendations in practical terms. Use it as an internal planning document or share it with your IT provider to get quotes and implementation support.
This service works best following a Baseline Security Assessment, which provides the gap analysis that informs strategy development. For implementing specific controls from the roadmap, see our Control Design & Implementation service.
Is This For You?
This service is designed for:
- Small to medium businesses who have completed a security assessment and need a clear path forward
- Companies without dedicated security staff who need actionable recommendations, not generic frameworks
- Organisations wanting to prioritise security investments based on actual risk rather than vendor marketing
- Businesses that need to communicate security plans to IT providers or leadership
