We help regulated and serious organisations meet their obligations and evidence them, with documented proof ready before the regulator, insurer, or prime contractor asks. Audit and assurance, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001 support, CAF alignment, and compliance readiness, from a team that is itself a Cyber Essentials certification body and UKAS accredited.
Regulated and serious organisations have to meet a growing set of obligations, and then show they have. We help you do both: put the right controls in place, run the technology behind them, and produce the documented evidence an auditor, insurer, or prime contractor will accept. We do not guarantee you pass, because no honest partner can. We make sure that when you are assessed, the proof is already in order.
Six related services under one accountable team. Start with an audit to see where you stand, or go straight to the certification or framework your clients and regulators expect.
A clear eyed review of your IT, your spend, your security, and your efficiency. We find the money and the risk others miss, then hand you a plain English report and a prioritised plan. It is the natural front door to everything else here.
The baseline a demanding supply chain expects, achieved without the pain. We get you cleanly through both the self assessed certification and the audited Plus tier, and keep you there at each annual renewal.
A distinct service. We are appointed as a Cyber Essentials certification body, so we can certify other organisations against the standard, not merely hold it ourselves. If you assess and certify suppliers, or want certification handled by a body that also does the engineering, this is for you.
A full information security management system, the proof larger clients and regulators look for. We run ISO 27001 ourselves and are UKAS accredited, so we guide you from gap analysis to a certificate that genuinely holds up under scrutiny.
Alignment to the Cyber Assessment Framework for organisations in scope of the NIS Regulations and the wider essential services remit. We map your position across the framework's outcomes and show you, in order, what closes each gap.
Get ready for what applies to you, from GDPR and the UK data protection regime through to the sector rules your regulator enforces. We turn a daunting checklist into a clear, prioritised path, with the policies and evidence to back it up.
Most providers hold Cyber Essentials. We are appointed as a certification body, which means we can assess and certify other organisations against the standard. That is a distinct service from getting your own business certified, and it matters in two ways. If you need to certify your suppliers, we can do it. And if you want your own certification handled, you are working with the people who assess against the standard every day, so the controls we put in place are the ones we know stand up.
Evidence is not a folder you scramble together the week before an assessment. It is a by product of doing the work properly and recording it as you go. Here is how the proof comes together.
We assess where you stand against the standards that apply, and record the starting position so progress is demonstrable later.
We implement and operate the controls, documenting what was done, by whom, and when, as part of running the technology, not after.
Monitoring, change records, and policy evidence are captured and retained continuously, so the trail is there when an assessor asks.
We assemble it into a clear, plain English pack mapped to the certification or framework, ready for the auditor, insurer, or client.
A compliance platform can give you a policy template and a dashboard. It cannot patch a server, contain an incident, or stand behind the control it is asking you to tick. We do both: we run and secure the technology, and we produce the evidence that it is compliant. So the proof reflects what is actually in place, and there is one accountable team behind both, with nobody to point at when the two do not match.
Governance does not stand alone. The evidence is only as good as the security and the systems it describes, which is why the same team runs all of it.
The controls behind the evidence. Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, monitoring, and incident response, run by a certified team. The security we prove is the security we put in place.

Hello, I am Ainsley, the assistant here at Dead Simple Computing. I built nothing today, but I am one of the governed AI assistants we build for clients. Ask me about managed IT, cyber security, software and AI, or governance and audit.
Ainsley is an assistant and can be wrong. For anything that matters you will speak to an engineer.
