Cyber Advance
Helping organisations improve their cyber security
What is it?
Cyber Advance is a year-long, comprehensive solution that provides continuous cybersecurity support, strategic guidance, testing and training.
This service includes
- a security assessment (either a vulnerability assessment or pen test),
- phishing exercise and
- a tailored cyber training programme to help your organisation stay resilient.
How this benefits your organisation
With Cyber Advance, your organisation gains access to senior-level expertise without the need for a full-time Chief Information Security Officer. This ongoing support ensures your security strategy evolves with emerging threats, enhances your team’s skills, and boosts your overall cyber resilience. Alongside this, the security assessment helps frame all the work that you may need to prioritise over the course of the 12 months.
Cyber Advance encompasses three essential components: conducting tests to uncover vulnerabilities within your organisation’s systems, carrying out a phishing exercise and providing a cyber awareness training session for your employees and/or board members.
Is Cyber Advance right for your organisation?
You should consider Cyber Advance if your organisation:
- Has a small to medium-sized IT estate. If you do not know what this means, it involves everything from hardware (laptops, mobile phones etc) to software (CRM, email etc).
- Has sensitive data that needs to be protected.
- Does not have any internal cyber security professionals.
- Would benefit from an assessment discovering the organisation’s current vulnerabilities.
- Operates a lean IT function (outsourced or internal) and needs to protect digital assets with limited resources.
- Requires updating to its cyber security training and organisation-wide awareness.
- Would benefit from access to advice and guidance from experts on cyber security and how to embed it in the organisation.

“During our preparation for ISO 27001 re-accreditation, we were incredibly grateful for the support we received from the team at the Cyber and Fraud Centre.
