In short

What happens in a free cyber security consultation?

A 30 to 60 minute conversation about what your business runs, what data it holds and what is worrying you. You leave with a clear view of your three or four highest priorities and a rough sense of effort and cost. There is no obligation and no charge.

What you get from the call

  • ✓A conversation about your actual systems, not a generic sales presentation
  • ✓Our view of your three or four highest-priority risks
  • ✓Clear guidance on whether Cyber Essentials applies to you and why
  • ✓A rough indication of effort and cost, so you can plan a budget
  • ✓A written follow-up summarising what we discussed

What we will ask you

Nothing you need to prepare for. We will ask roughly how many staff you have, what you use for email and file storage, whether you have servers or an office network, what kind of data you hold about customers, whether anyone has asked you for security assurances, and whether anything has already gone wrong.

If you do not know some of the answers, that is entirely normal and is itself useful information. Nobody is expected to arrive with a network diagram.

What you will get out of it

A direct answer to "what should we do first?" — which for most businesses is a short list of specific actions, several of which usually cost nothing. If we think you do not need a paid engagement, we will tell you that on the call rather than sending a proposal.

You will also get a written follow-up so you have something to take to a partner, a board or an insurer.

Frequently asked questions

Before you book

Is the consultation genuinely free?
Yes — free, and with no obligation to proceed. We do not charge for scoping conversations, and you will get useful direction from it whether or not you become a client.
Do we need to prepare anything?
No. A rough idea of your staff numbers and what you use for email and file storage is plenty. If you have had a security questionnaire from a customer, bring that — it usually makes the conversation more concrete.
Can you visit us on site?
Yes, for Leicester and the surrounding East Midlands area. Elsewhere in the UK we start with a video call and arrange on-site attendance if the work requires it.
We think we are being attacked right now. Should we book a consultation?
No — call +44 7424 967568 straight away rather than booking. Active incidents are triaged immediately and we will talk you through the first containment steps on the phone.

Company
Pricing
It depends on scope, but the model matters more than the number. Cipher Knights prices assessment and project work as a fixed price agreed in writing before starting, and managed IT support as a fixed monthly fee per user. You should never receive an open-ended day-rate invoice from us.
 Services
Vulnerability Assessment
A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of your IT systems to identify known security weaknesses — missing patches, weak configurations, exposed services and poor access controls — and rank them by risk. Unlike a penetration test, it prioritises breadth of coverage over exploitation, producing a prioritised list of what to fix first.
 Compliance
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme, delivered by IASME on behalf of the NCSC, that verifies an organisation has five fundamental technical controls in place: boundary firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control and malware protection. Certification is renewed annually.
