Secure

Cyber Assurance & Governance

Cyber assurance is an ongoing practice, not a security report.

Risk changes. Controls change. The business changes.

Whether you have a security team, a CISO or nobody holding that role yet, we work with you to keep risk measured, current and understood.

Risk. Compliance. Governance. Readiness.

A practice around securing the whole organisation.

Risk, compliance, policy and incident readiness operate together. Each finding has an owner, an action and evidence of progress.

01 · RISK

Risk, ranked.

Findings are assessed and ranked in business terms, with an owner and action against each one. If controls are already in good shape, the report makes that clear.

02 · COMPLIANCE

Compliance, driven.

DC9 runs programmes against Essential Eight, PCI DSS, NIST and CIS Controls. Reporting follows the framework your business uses.

03 · GOVERNANCE

Policy kept alive.

Security policies are written with you and reviewed as the business changes. An exception register keeps accepted risk as a documented decision, not a forgotten gap.

04 · READINESS

Exercise the response.

Named owners rehearse ransomware, business email compromise and data exposure before they are real.

Cyber insurance

The gaps your insurer is pricing in.

Underwriters now price the controls you can prove: MFA coverage, EDR, immutable backups and tested recovery. When controls improve and the evidence supports it, the organisation is in a stronger position to demonstrate reduced risk to its insurer.

We work with whatever you have.

YOU HAVE A SECURITY TEAM

Extend its reach.

We work under your CISO’s direction and give the team engineering capacity, evidence on tap and direct access to the layers we already operate.

THE SEAT IS EMPTY

Fill the leadership gap.

Our vCISO can provide security leadership, own the roadmap and explain what changing risks mean for your business. It remains an option, not a requirement.

RECOVERY

Run and Secure cover the layers DC9 operates every day: endpoints, infrastructure, networks, cloud, identity and recovery.

Because we operate those layers, assurance is grounded in what is actually happening. Current operational evidence gives context beyond a point-in-time questionnaire or assumptions about controls.

This is where risk is measured, ownership is assigned, progress is evidenced and the security posture is kept honest.

Evidence that stays current.

The evidence behind your security posture is maintained as the environment changes, so reporting, audits, customer questionnaires and board discussions start from current information.

WHAT WE MAINTAIN

Posture report

Where risk sits, what is being done, who owns it and what remains open.

Maturity tracking

Progress against the framework you use, with changes and drift visible between reviews.

Evidence register

Control evidence, decisions and exceptions kept current and ready for audit or assurance requests.

SO THAT

Evidence in use

Customer security questionnaires are answered from the maintained evidence set, and board reporting shows posture, movement, top risks and decisions required.

We do not sell fear. Risk is ranked so the organisation can focus on what genuinely needs attention.
