NCSC Cyber Advisor
Spritzmonkey is proud to be in the first cohort of organisations to achieve NCSC Cyber Advisor status. This new scheme is delivered in partnership with IASME. We have passed a number of strict tests around quality, security and technical expertise to qualify as a Cyber Advisor.
What is it?
Cyber Advisor is a targeted consultancy scheme aimed primarily at small and medium sized organisations. Such organisations often lack in-house expertise or easy access to qualified people who can help them to secure their networks. And, because they often have limited time and funds to invest in security, it can be hard for a smaller organisation, whether it's a business, a school or a charity, to know where to focus what resources they do have.
Need help?
Please contact us to arrange a telephone or face-to-face appointment to discuss your needs.
As a Cyber Advisor, we can provide small and medium sized organisations with reliable and cost effective cyber security advice and practical support. The focus of that advice and support will be on the implementation of the five technical controls set out in Cyber Essentials. This approach will improve the cyber security of small organisations and reduce the likelihood of the most commonly experienced cyber attacks.
How does it work?
We will work with you to assess any gaps between your current cyber security arrangements and the technical controls of Cyber Essentials. We will then provide recommendations on how to address these gaps, which will prepare your organisation for Cyber Essentials certification should you choose to certify. There is no obligation to apply for a Cyber Essentials certification.
The Cyber Advisor scheme gives you the confidence that your chosen service provider is offering cyber security advice to an NCSC approved standard.
Our Cyber Advisors have passed an independent assessment. This measured their:
knowledge and understanding of the Cyber Essentials’ technical controls
competence in providing practical, hands-on support
ability to understand and work with small and medium sized organisations
All Cyber Advisors must work for a company which has met the NCSC’s standards and been accepted as an Assured Service Provider.
