We are in the resilience business. We strengthen organisations through people, processes and protection, to ensure their success.
Our recently expanded cyber security and information assurance offerings include a brand new, state of the art digital forensics laboratory operated by highly experienced and certified teams.
We strengthen organisations through three core areas (or often, a blend of them) to ensure their success:
- People: You need great people to succeed, so we develop them. Yours, so your team’s a step ahead, handling anything you need them to. Or ours, so we can bolster your operations, remove your stress points. In every case, it’s about skill and certainty.
- Process: We work with you to design, streamline and strengthen your procedures so that you know they’re highly effective, no matter how complex or technical. No gaps, no doubts.
- Protection: We identify and manage risk and resilience across your operations. Keeping your digital and other assets safe and secure is non-negotiable, but tough to manage. We’ll take care of them for you.
Our Cyber Security & Information Assurance (CS&IA) Services are designed to protect you from ever-growing global threats, minimise your information security risk and maximise digital resilience to optimise your operational effectiveness.
Our Training & Learning Development Services combine a systematic approach to training with innovative design and engaging digital delivery to create learning solutions that optimise operational effectiveness and maximise the performance of your people. By grounding our approach in behavioural psychology, we put the learner at the heart of everything we do, resulting in more focused outcomes and enduring behavioural change.
Cyber essentials
Education is an essential element to any cyber protection strategy. Human error can be one of the biggest dangers to digital, and potentially exposing your business to a number of pervasive cyber threats. The government backed Cyber Essentials scheme is the perfect solution.
Diverging around 80% of internet-borne threats upon completion, the scheme educates business leaders, IT departments and other staff members on…
- Firewall Security
- Secure Configuration
- User Access Control
- Malware Protection
- Patch Management
- Cyber Essentials Assessment Process
As well as helping to fortify your business from serious threats, demonstrating Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials plus accreditation, will help facilitate safe scalability for your business, gaining the trust of clients by showing your commitment to the protection of their data.
The cyber essentials accreditation is a non-negotiable term for the MOD and any other government department when considering your business for a central government bid, and is therefore a must-have for any business looking to scale-up and reach new heights.
As a certified cyber essentials provider and assessor, you can become Cyber Essentials certified in less than 48 hours with CDS Defence.
Digital forensics
As the use of technology and devices that record, locate, measure, and watch almost everything we do continues to grow, so does the need to access, extract and analyse these technologies.
In the event of a cyber incident, you need your devices to paint the picture of what really happened.
No source of data can be ignored, but accessing, extracting, analysing and interpreting it from such a vast breadth of different technology and devices requires specialist digital forensic facilities, expertise, software, technology and equipment.
From criminal investigations in support of law enforcement to security incident response support across the commercial sector, and everything in between, we offer a niche service that helps you to determine what happened, when it happened and how it happened.
Our team is highly qualified, experienced, and certified, with in-depth knowledge of cyber security and digital forensics. We genuinely understand the technology environment that you operate in and our forensic experts have been subject to high levels of security vetting, owing to their backgrounds in law enforcement. We are well versed handling UK evidence and can work seamlessly with your team to assist you in building credible evidence.
When necessary, we can support the judicial process, acting as expert witnesses. We have the skills necessary to recover data that is accidentally deleted, provide expert cyber security and digital forensics consultancy and deliver expert digital forensic and cyber security training services.
Our breadth of cyber security, intelligence and digital forensics expertise enables us to conduct analysis and deliver results that will help you to make sense of the data extracted. We provide a dedicated expert to be your single point of contact, available to discuss and explain our analysis and conclusions.
Our well-equipped UKAS and (soon to be) ISO 17025 accredited forensic lab enables us to maintain the chain of evidence for devices while quickly and efficiently analysing and reporting our findings with accurate results that can be trusted.
Our Digital Forensic services include:
- Expert single point of contact
- Computer forensics
- Network Forensics
- Mobile device forensics
- Cloud forensics
- Expert witnesses
- Data recovery
- Consultancy Training
Pen testing
As the cliche goes, the best offence is a good defence.
Penetration testing, or pen testing, is the best way to stay two steps ahead of any sinister actor, and is a necessary tool to shape a pragmatic and effective defence.
By identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in your applications, networks, mobile devices and wireless networks, penetration testing identifies and fixes issues before they are exploited by a hostile third party - simulating these hostile third parties to do so.
Carrying out regular penetration tests means you maintain your compliance standards, screen for security vulnerabilities and will demonstrate your commitment to security to potential customers.
As your networks, users, devices and applications grow and change, we will work with you to regularly expose vulnerabilities to keep you one step ahead of the cyber threat, probing the following elements of your cyber makeup…
- Infrastructure Assessments (both Internal and External)
- Web Application and Services Assessments
- Mobile Application/ Device Assessments
- Network Device Configuration Reviews
- Server/Workstation Configuration Reviews
