Veritatem Cyber Advisory Ltd.
Helping UK SMEs Achieve and Maintain Cyber Essentials | Fully Managed Certification, Remediation and CE Plus Preparation | Veritatem
Cyber Security Consultantancy · Chichester, United Kingdom · small employees · Founded 2005
I help UK small businesses achieve and maintain Cyber Essentials without turning certification into a confusing or time-consuming IT project.
With more than 25 years of practical SME IT experience, I understand both the Cyber Essentials requirements and the everyday realities of managing Microsoft 365, endpoints, networks, security updates, users and business policies.
Through Veritatem Cyber Advisory, I provide three straightforward levels of support:
• A fully managed Cyber Essentials assessment, followed by a structured handover
• Ongoing managed Cyber Essentials, including patching, vulnerability monitoring, policy management and renewal support
• A complete service incorporating Cyber Essentials Plus preparation and audit assistance
My approach is practical and proportionate. I explain the requirements in plain English, identify what genuinely needs attention and help implement the necessary improvements—not simply produce a report and leave the business with a list of problems.
I also advise SMEs on:
• Microsoft 365 and identity security
• Vulnerability and security update management
• Cyber risk assessments
• Security policies, procedures and asset registers
• Cyber awareness and staff training
• IASME Cyber Assurance-aligned requirements
• Practical cyber resilience and risk reduction
Before establishing Veritatem, I founded and managed an IT services business supporting SMEs for nearly two decades. This gave me extensive hands-on experience across cloud migrations, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Exchange, endpoint security, firewalls, networking and long-term client support.
I combine that technical background with a friendly, business-focused approach. My aim is always to recommend controls that are effective, understandable and commercially sensible for the organisation concerned.
If your business needs Cyber Essentials for a customer, tender, or supply chain requirement—or simply wants a stronger security foundation—I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation.
