Cyber security, AI and business continuity training for Portsmouth businesses, onsite or live online. Cyber Essentials readiness for firms in the marine, defence and industrial supply chain.
Getting to you: About 50 minutes from Bognor Regis. Delivered onsite in Portsmouth or live online. Onsite travel is agreed in advance and shown separately on the quote.
Portsmouth is a working waterfront city, and the businesses that matter to us here are the ones in the supply chain behind it: marine and engineering firms, fabricators, logistics, specialist services, and the professional practices that support them.
The security question in Portsmouth is rarely "do we need this?". It is "our customer has asked for evidence and we do not know what to send them". That is a solvable problem, and it is mostly paperwork, habits and a handful of settings rather than anything you have to buy.
Supply chain requirements dominate. Large customers, and public sector and defence contracts in particular, carry cyber clauses that flow down to their suppliers, and Cyber Essentials is the usual minimum bar. If you supply a prime contractor, that requirement is arriving at your renewal whether or not anybody in the business has thought about it.
The trap is assuming it is a technical project. It is mostly not. The single most common blocker we see is scope: working out exactly which devices, cloud services and home-working setups are in, and being honest about the ones you had forgotten. Get the scope right and most firms are two or three fixes from a defensible answer.
Alongside that sits the everyday risk, which has not gone anywhere. Payment redirection fraud against firms that raise large invoices, and staff who have never been shown what a convincing phishing message looks like in 2026. The certificate satisfies your customer. The training is what stops the money leaving.

Portsmouth sits outside our core area, so onsite travel is agreed in advance and shown separately on the quote rather than being included in the headline price. It is not a large figure and you will see it before you commit to anything. A live online session carries no travel at all, and for many teams it is the better option anyway.
Yes. Cyber Essentials readiness is a service in its own right: a gap review across scope and the five controls, a prioritised list of what to change, the technical work if you want us to do it, and draft answers to the self-assessment. What we cannot do is issue the certificate or promise a pass. That is marked independently by an IASME-licensed certification body, and the answers have to be true.
