Cyber Security. Compliance. Confidence.
UK-based consultancy providing practical cyber security and compliance support for UK SMEs that need to demonstrate control, reduce risk, and meet customer or regulatory expectations.
What We Do
At Fortitude Cyber, we help UK SMEs strengthen their cybersecurity posture, meet compliance requirements, and build long-term security maturity. Whether you’re just starting your security journey or need expert support to maintain and improve existing controls, we provide practical, affordable, and results-driven services designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses.
Our work is grounded in real-world experience, recognised frameworks, and a deep understanding of the challenges SMEs face in today’s evolving threat landscape.
We typically work with organisations that:
- need Cyber Essentials or ISO 27001 for contracts or assurance
- handle sensitive or regulated data
- want independent, vendor-neutral security advice
- don’t need (or want) a full-time CISO
Our Cybersecurity & GRC Services
ISO 27001 Implementation & Internal Audits
Establishing a structured Information Security Management System (ISMS) doesn’t need to be complicated.
We help SMEs:
- Build and document a fully compliant ISMS
- Conduct internal audits and readiness assessments
- Close compliance gaps ahead of certification
- Maintain continuous improvement year-round
Perfect for organisations seeking new contracts, improving operational discipline, or demonstrating strong data-protection practices.
Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus Readiness
Cyber Essentials is now a baseline requirement across many UK supply chains—especially for government, MOD, and public-sector work.
We support you with:
- Gap analysis and readiness reviews
- Remediation guidance to meet CE and CE+ controls
- Technical hardening aligned to current IASME standards
- Renewal support and evidence preparation
Strengthen your defences, reduce cyber-insurance premiums, and reassure customers that their data is protected.
Policies, Procedures & Security Documentation
Clear, tailored, and easy-to-follow documentation is the backbone of strong governance.
We create security artefacts including:
- Information security policies
- Acceptable use, access control & incident response procedures
- Risk assessments and treatment plans
- Supplier and data-processing agreements
All documents are aligned to industry standards such as ISO 27001, NCSC guidance, and Cyber Essentials.
Third-Party & Vendor Risk Management
Your organisation is only as secure as the suppliers you rely on.
We help you:
- Identify and rank vendor risks
- Build questionnaires and due-diligence workflows
- Review supplier controls and remediation plans
- Ensure ongoing monitoring of third-party exposure
Reduce the risk of supply-chain breaches and strengthen your contractual security expectations.
vCISO (Virtual CISO) & Security Leadership Support
Not every SME needs a full-time security leader — but every business benefits from strategic guidance.
Our vCISO service provides:
- Executive-level security leadership at a fraction of the cost
- Strategy, roadmaps, and board-ready reporting
- Policy oversight, risk management, and compliance guidance
- Ongoing advisory support when you need it most
A scalable way to embed security expertise into your organisation without hiring in-house.

Get clarity and control over your organisation’s security risks.
We support you with:
