What working with us looks like

Practical, sequenced, and built around what you can actually spend.

Understand where you stand

A plain-English review of your current setup, risks, and priorities — no jargon, no scare tactics.

A realistic roadmap

Practical next steps sequenced by risk and budget — not a wish list built for a business ten times your size.

Policy & governance that gets used

Paperwork people actually follow, including groundwork for Cyber Essentials — not a template filed and forgotten.

Ongoing advice, not a one-off report

Someone to call before a decision — a new supplier, a new system — not just after something’s gone wrong.

“Advice that fits your budget — not a template built for someone else’s.”

— David, Patch Cyber

Where this comes from

This isn’t theory — I led the ISO 27001 adoption and built the security awareness programme at Birmingham Assay Office myself, while owning the IT budget and strategy for the business. Consultancy from Patch Cyber is that same experience, sized for you.
