Who We Work With

Cross-sector expertise, sector-specific delivery

We've delivered IT management, security, AI, and compliance programmes across manufacturing, retail, professional services, technology, legal, and more. Our approach reflects each client's sector and risk profile, because a retail business and a professional services firm face very different threats even when the underlying attack methods are the same.

The Universal Threat Landscape

No sector is immune, and attackers know it

SMEs and mid-market firms across every vertical are targeted daily, often specifically because they're assumed to have weaker defences than large enterprises.

43%

Incident response planning and tested backups are often the difference between recovery and closure.

68%

of breaches involve a human element, phishing, error, or misuse

What We Do

The full IT management, security, AI, and compliance stack, whatever your sector

Every business we work with gets the same depth of expertise we bring to our healthcare and financial services clients. The same rigour on IT foundations, security controls, AI governance, and compliance readiness, delivered to fit your sector.

Cyber Risk Assessment

A structured assessment of your technology environment, identifying vulnerabilities, control gaps, and exposure across your systems, data, and people. Deliverable: a prioritised risk register and action plan.

ISO 27001 Implementation

Full implementation support for ISO 27001 certification, from scope definition and gap analysis through to Statement of Applicability and audit readiness. Includes internal audit support.

GDPR & Data Protection

Data mapping, privacy impact assessments, Records of Processing Activities (ROPA), consent frameworks, and breach response procedures, built around your actual data flows, not a template.

IT Infrastructure & Management

ITIL v4-aligned managed IT services, cloud migration support, and infrastructure planning for businesses that need expert IT leadership without the cost of a full internal team. Microsoft 365 and Azure specialists, with structured support processes and documented SLAs.

Service Desk & End User Support

ITIL v4-aligned service desk and end user support for organisations that want structured, measurable IT support without building an in-house team. We define SLAs, escalation paths, and continuous improvement cycles from day one. You get an ITIL v4-aligned service desk, documented SLAs, and a support function that improves over time through structured measurement and review.

Audit Preparation & Compliance Readiness

We prepare organisations for regulatory audits, certification assessments, and third-party inspections, building evidence packs, closing identified gaps, and ensuring staff are briefed and ready before the assessor arrives. You get a closed-gap evidence package, a prepared team, and a readiness report covering every stage of the assessor's process.

Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Assessment

We scope and manage penetration testing and vulnerability assessments for web applications, internal networks, and cloud environments, working with trusted specialist testing partners to deliver independent, expert findings. You get risk-rated findings in technical and executive formats, with a prioritised remediation plan and clear ownership of next steps.

Cloud Security Architecture

Design and review of cloud environments (Azure, AWS, GCP), verified against both your internal requirements and applicable regulatory standards, covering security controls, data residency, identity management, and resilience.

AI Adoption & Governance

Secure and responsible integration of AI tools into your operations. Assess AI-related risks, build governance frameworks, so your AI use is documented and aligned with emerging regulatory expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Cybersecurity for your sector

How do we know if we need cybersecurity support?

If your business handles customer data, depends on IT systems for day-to-day operations, or needs to meet GDPR, a client's certification requirement, or a supply chain security questionnaire, an assessment is worth the time. A gap analysis shows where your biggest risks sit within a few weeks, without requiring you to build a full security team first.

Do you work alongside our existing IT team or MSP?

Yes. We don't replace your internal IT team or managed service provider, we work alongside them as a specialist layer for security and compliance. That means clear agreement on who owns what and reporting that fits into what your team already uses, rather than a parallel system that adds overhead.

What sectors and company sizes does Cyvra work with?

We work with SMEs and mid-sized organisations across most sectors, from manufacturing and logistics to professional services and technology. Financial services, healthcare, and hospitality have dedicated programmes built around their specific regulatory requirements; for other sectors, we build the security programme around your actual risk profile and obligations.

How is engagement and pricing structured?

It depends on what you need. Some clients start with a one-off assessment or gap analysis, others go straight to an ongoing retainer for managed IT and security monitoring. We talk through your situation and put together a proposal that fits your organisation's size and risk profile, not a fixed package.

How long does a typical engagement take?

A gap analysis is usually completed within 2 to 4 weeks. A full ISO 27001 certification project typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on your starting point and organisation size. Ongoing services like managed IT or security monitoring run continuously by design, with fixed review points along the way.
