Testing Cyber Advance

Cyber Advance: 12 months of practical cyber security support

Cyber Advance gives your organisation access to a package of practical security testing, training, incident preparedness and expert support across 12 months.

Choose from four clearly priced packages depending on the size of your organisation and the level of support you need.

What is Cyber Advance?

This brings together a range of our cyber security services into one 12-month package, with bundles of services together offering a saving compared with purchasing services individually. Find out more below and pick a package that suits your organisation’s needs.

Over 12 months, you get a clear picture of where your security stands today, a practical roadmap for improvement, and regular access to experienced cyber security professionals from Cyberfraud Centre.

It brings together core services and training into one joined-up programme:

  • A technical security assessment (Penetration Testing or Vulnerability Assessment)
  • Secure Leaders training for your senior team members
  • Incident response exercise to test your organisation's response to a breach

Why Ongoing Support Beats One-Off Testing

A single penetration test or training session tells you where you stood on one day. Cyber Advance tells you where you’re going and helps you get there.

Most UK organisations face the same challenges. They have no dedicated cyber security resource in-house, their approach to security is reactive rather than planned, and they’re uncertain about what to prioritise or where their biggest risks actually lie.

According to the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack in the last 12 months. For organisations without a structured security programme, the question isn’t whether something will go wrong. It’s when.

Cyber Advance gives you the structure, expertise, and momentum to reduce that risk continuously throughout the year.

What's Included

Choose the level of support that best reflects your organisation’s needs. Each package brings together complementary cyber security services over 12 months, at a lower cost than purchasing the included services individually.

Test your defences

Our experienced testers assess your systems to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyber criminals, giving you clear recommendations on how to address them.

Train your leaders

Our Secure Leaders training gives senior decision-makers the knowledge they need to understand cyber risk, ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

Prepare for an incident

Put your response plans to the test through a realistic cyber incident exercise. If you don’t already have an incident response plan, half a day of your included vCISO support will be used to help develop one.

Get expert support

Your included vCISO day gives you access to senior cyber security expertise without employing a full-time security leader.

Who Cyber Advance Is For

Cyber Advance works particularly well for organisations that handle sensitive, confidential, or regulated data but don’t have a dedicated in-house security team. It’s designed for businesses that want structured, ongoing guidance rather than ad-hoc services, and for those preparing for Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, or similar compliance requirements.

If you work in housing, finance, legal, healthcare, or professional services, and you’re responsible for client data, this programme is especially relevant to your situation.

What Organisations Typically Gain

Within 12 months, organisations on the Cyber Advance programme typically uncover vulnerabilities they didn’t know existed, significantly reduce staff susceptibility to phishing attacks, and leave audits feeling prepared rather than pressured.

Most also find that the process of working through a structured programme builds genuine security awareness across their teams, not just among IT staff, but across the whole organisation.

Why Cyberfraud Centre

We work exclusively with UK organisations and understand the practical realities of running security without a large team or budget.

We don’t overload you with jargon or sell you tools you don’t need. We tell you what matters, why it matters, and what to do about it.
