Security specialists on call for your IT team

You keep the estate running. We handle the certification, testing and out-of-hours monitoring that needs specialist skills, and hand back clear actions your team can own.

Sound familiar?

What IT managers usually call us about

A tender or contract needs Cyber Essentials

Procurement wants a certificate by a fixed date. We review your answers before submission, so you pass first time, with same-day fast track once you meet the requirements.

The insurer's questionnaire keeps growing

MFA, vulnerability management, training and certification are now standard questions. We give you the evidence to answer them honestly.

Danzell tightened the rules

MFA on every cloud service, the 14-day patching rule and personal devices in scope. We find what will fail before the assessor does.

Nobody watches the alerts at 2am

Our 24/7 SOC and Microsoft 365 MDR investigate alerts out of hours and act, so a weekend compromise doesn't wait until Monday.

Cyber Essentials and Plus

Plan both together

Cyber Essentials Plus has to be completed within three months of Cyber Essentials, and since April 2026 a second device sample is tested after fixes. Starting early is the difference between a calm assessment and a scramble.

Micro organisation, self-managed. All Cyber Essentials prices

  1. Readiness check

    Scope agreed against your device inventory, MFA audited across every cloud service, patch levels measured against the 14-day rule.

  2. Cyber Essentials

    You complete the questionnaire, we review it before submission and flag anything that would fail. Self-managed, assisted or fully managed.

  3. Pre-assessment scan

    An authenticated scan of every in-scope device, so third-party apps and devices missing from patching show up now.

  4. Cyber Essentials Plus audit

    External and internal testing, malware and MFA checks, mostly done remotely and scheduled around your users.

Beyond the certificate

Ongoing cover your team can lean on

Take one service or combine them. Everything feeds the same DefenceScore, so you can show progress to the board.

Vulnerability management

Continuous scanning, prioritised by real-world risk, with remediation guidance for your engineers.

Microsoft 365 MDR

Detection and response on your tenant: risky sign-ins, mailbox rules, token theft, investigated around the clock.

Penetration testing

Independent infrastructure and web application tests, with findings written for the people who will fix them.

Phishing and training

Realistic simulations and short training that keep staff alert to AI-written phishing and deepfake requests.

Microsoft 365 audit

A configuration review of your tenant against current good practice, with a prioritised fix list.

Incident response retainer

Agreed response times and responders who work alongside your team when something goes wrong.

Questions

IT team FAQs

We already have an MSP. Can we still work with you?
Yes. Many of our clients do. We work alongside your provider and share findings with them, or your MSP can bring us in through our partner programme.
How quickly can we get Cyber Essentials?
Often within 24 hours with fast track, once you meet the requirements. If there are gaps to close, our review tells you exactly what to fix first.
Is Microsoft 365 in scope?
Yes. Under Danzell every cloud service that stores or processes your data is in scope, and MFA must be on for every account where the service supports it.
Does Cyber Essentials Plus testing happen on site?
Most of it can be done remotely. We agree the approach and dates with you before testing starts.
How long does certification last?
Twelve months. We remind you before renewal so it never lapses mid-tender.
