Key Challenges Addressed

Our clients often require deep expertise to support their cyber security programmes, where challenges to access the right expertise, at the right scale, whilst meeting compliance requirements are prevalent. This can limit a clients ability to meaningfully direct their cyber security strategy and build the necessary range of cyber capabilities for a successful programme, resulting in delays to risk management and meeting business objectives.  

There are occasions where clients also require additional cyber security capabilities to complement their existing teams, needing to increase resourcing levels to maintain business as usual activities, whilst a team of Bridewell consultants lead a key project or programme for the organization. Bridewell often deploys a team of consultants of different levels of seniority and skills to ensure that security is built into the design of our clients' programmes and that they achieve their intended outcomes. 


Security Transformation

How it Works

Bridewell’s cyber security consultancy services combine a comprehensive set of methodologies and expertise across various technical areas, including the ability to implement positive cyber security change. 

Many cyber security consultancy engagements focus on the implementation of industry control frameworks, international standards and specific programme requirements. Instead, Bridewell develops tailored approaches to help meet each of our client’s unique requirements.  

Our methodologies have been utilized across many of the biggest global brands and critical infrastructure organizations, certified by the NCSC. Many of our consulting team members help design and drive innovative approaches to industry challenges, in addition to helping shape industry guidance across areas such as cyber risk, assurance, and architecture. 

We work with every client to develop a tailored solution that ensures our client’s business outcomes are considered at all stages of the engagement, and that our services recognize and support their business objectives.  Across our consulting teams, we have extensive expertise in cloud, critical infrastructure, operational technology, cyber threat intelligence and incident response.

Bridewell often deploys a team of consultants of different levels of seniority and skills to ensure that security is built into the design of our clients' programmes and that they achieve their intended outcomes. 

Initiating an effective cyber security strategy can be a challenge for many organizations. Often organizations know that they need to make cyber security improvements but do not know where to start. This can either be triggered via internal awareness of the need to improve or by regulatory requirements.  Bridewell can introduce services that have been consistently applied and deliver successful outcomes, which are utilized to help design, articulate and produce a cyber security strategy and programme to ensure that the improvements meet regulatory requirements and reduce risk. 
Gaining independent assurance and confidence in an organization's security posture is something that can’t be delivered by the internal resources of a client.  Ranging from flagship programmes of high media attention such as the 2021 UK Census to an organization seeking to invest in a company or gain assurance across their entire portfolio, Bridewell’s consultancy services can provide that independent assurance. An increasing number of organizations utilize Bridewell’s services to comply with the ISO 27001 requirement for an independent review to be performed, or for internal audits to be performed by a certified Bridewell ISO 27001 Lead Auditor.   

Delivering ongoing effective cyber security operations is often something organizations struggle with, either due to the difficulty in hiring and retaining staff or building a team with the diverse set of skills required.

For many organizations, this can include applying and managing security controls across various technical environments such as multiple private Clouds, hybrid Cloud, DevOps environments and Operational Technology, which is where our vast expertise in these areas enables our clients to deliver effectively.

FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions about Cyber Consultancy. If you’d like to learn more speak to one of our team.

There are many ways in which cyber security consultancy services can help your business. By conducting a comprehensive assessment of your business's current security posture, they can identify any weaknesses and potential vulnerabilities. They can then provide cyber security services and a bespoke security strategy that includes the implementation of appropriate security controls. This should provide you with the peace of mind that your business, critical systems and data are protected from cyber attacks. 

For some organizations and sectors, security risk management is a mandatory compliance requirement. E.g.) An organization would be unable to achieve ISO 27001 without security risk management. 

All organizations face cyber security risks. Risk management enables organizations to define the roles and responsibilities for risk management, the methodology to follow and to track the organizations decisions and plans to treat or tolerate risks in accordance with a company risk appetite. The absence of a risk management process may influence business opportunities or cause concern for 3rd parties when responding to supply chain questionnaires, bids or RFIs.  

An absence of security risk management may result in an organization more susceptible to security incidents, data loss, service outages and financial or reputational impacts.  

ISO certification, such as ISO 27001 demonstrates that an organization has implemented and achieved compliance to an international standard for an information security management system. An ISO certification demonstrates a level of maturity and compliance. Is that enough? That would depend on your organizations risk appetite, compliance requirements and the potential impact if that supplier was targeted or disrupted. Depending on how critical that supplier is to your business, should influence the assurances and level of maturity that you expect to see. As the supplier’s criticality relates to your business obligations, operations and requirements. 

Yes. The Bridewell architecture and cloud security teams consist of consultants with hands on skills, knowledge and experience of multi-cloud solutions and cloud assessments. Bridewell are vendor agnostic and provide impartial consultancy to enable clients to overcome challenges or to fulfil their business objectives. 

  • Bridewell consultants can work with clients to form a business case before an organization selects a new technology or can review existing technologies. For example, a review may evaluate the effectiveness of the control, look for quick wins, consider opportunities for tuning and optimization. A review of the people and processes who use the technology may identify a training need to further utilize the technology. 

  • Risk management consultants can assist with Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE) calculations to compare the cost of the technical control against the expected cost incurred through an actual security incident. 

  • Other possible options include running a proof of concept to trial or compare technologies, or conducting a strategic review of the organizations risks, maturity, business drivers and requirements to aid informed decision making.
