Cyber Security Resources

Cyber insurance is one piece of the puzzle. Strong cyber habits are the other. We’ve pulled together the resources we think every business owner should know about — from the UK government’s own guidance to the tools we use with clients to assess their cyber risk. No jargon, no scare tactics. Just useful stuff.

Government Guidance

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is the UK’s authority on cyber security. Their guidance is practical, free, and written for people who aren’t IT experts. Visit the NCSC website: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk

If you’re not sure where to start, the NCSC’s Small Business Guide is a good first stop — five quick wins that genuinely move the needle on your cyber resilience.

Tools We Use to Assess Cyber Risk

When we’re helping a client think about cyber, we don’t just rely on a gut feel. These are the tools we draw on to build a clear picture of your exposure:

  • Insurer risk assessment questionnaires — structured deep-dives into your current setup
  • CFC cyber risk calculator — quick way to size up your potential financial exposure
  • Coalition Control assessment — automated scan of your external attack surface
  • Cyber security scans — to spot vulnerabilities before someone else does
