Usecases

Readiness, in the shape of real situations.

Compliance pressure rarely arrives as a tidy checklist — it arrives as a deadline, a stalled deal, or a board question. These are the situations regulated mid-market firms bring us, and how a readiness engagement answers each.

Representative readiness scenarios that illustrate how we work — not specific client engagements. As engagements close, we'll add anonymized results here.

Cybersecurity · EDR · SOC

A business with no endpoint visibility after a near-miss

A 150-endpoint professional services firm had no EDR, no SIEM, and no alerting. A phishing email that reached finance forced the board to act.

The readiness path
  1. 01 Deploy and tune EDR across all endpoints within two weeks
  2. 02 Onboard SIEM with endpoint, firewall, and Microsoft 365 log sources
  3. 03 Stand up 24×7 SOC with a dedicated analyst team and defined escalation runbooks
You walk away with
  • Full endpoint visibility and behavioural threat detection
  • A live SIEM correlating events across the entire environment
  • 24×7 monitoring with a named analyst team — not a shared pool

Cybersecurity · Email Security · BEC

A firm losing money to business email compromise

Finance team at a mid-market firm received spoofed supplier invoices that bypassed their basic email filter. Two payments went to fraudulent accounts before it was caught.

  2. 02 Enforce DMARC, DKIM, and SPF across all sending domains
  3. 03 Train staff and build a reporting workflow for suspected phishing

Cybersecurity · Backup · Ransomware Resilience

A business that had no recovery plan when ransomware hit

A manufacturing SMB was encrypted by ransomware on a Friday evening. Backups existed but were also on the same network segment — entirely inaccessible.

The readiness path
  1. 01 Implement immutable, offsite backups with tested restore procedures
  2. 02 Define RPO and RTO targets and build a DR runbook the team can actually execute
  3. 03 Conduct a live DR drill and close any gaps before the next incident
You walk away with
  • Immutable backups isolated from the production network
  • A tested DR runbook with defined recovery time targets
  • Confidence that the next incident is a recovery drill, not a crisis

The readiness path
  1. 01 Build an ISO 27001 ISMS over the PHI environment
  2. 02 Implement HIPAA Security-Rule safeguards (data-security scope)
  3. 03 Layer ISO 27701 privacy + AI governance where AI touches care

Mid-Market · Multi-Framework

One team, four overlapping frameworks

A regulated mid-market firm carries SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI and HIPAA expectations at once — and has no team to run four parallel compliance projects.

The readiness path
  1. 01 Map the union of controls across every framework in scope
  2. 02 Implement one control program, crosswalked to each
  3. 03 Run it with fractional leadership + a delivery team
You walk away with
  • A single control program satisfying many frameworks
