UK buyers expect their suppliers to prove security, not promise it. Cyber Essentials certification is now a hard requirement in most public-sector procurement, ISO 27001 is the enterprise baseline, UK GDPR enforcement is mature, and regulated sectors face the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and FCA/PRA operational-resilience rules.

Security Solution Consultants provides pragmatic, framework-led GRC consultancy to UK organisations — from scale-ups chasing their first ISO 27001 certificate to established firms uplifting maturity — backed by the GRCLens compliance platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ISO 27001 certification cost in the UK?

Consultancy plus certification-body fees typically land between £15k and £40k for SMEs depending on scope and existing controls. We quote fixed fees after a short scoping call.

Do we need Cyber Essentials if we already have ISO 27001?

Often yes — Cyber Essentials is contractually mandated in UK government supply chains regardless of ISO status. The good news: an ISO 27001 environment usually passes CE+ with minimal extra work.

Can you act as our outsourced DPO or security manager?

We provide ongoing advisory retainers including DPO-as-a-service and virtual CISO arrangements for UK clients.

Are you UK-based?

Delivery is remote-first from our Australia/NZ team with UK-hours coverage, on-site workshops by arrangement, and all documentation aligned to UK regulatory expectations.
