We conduct penetration tests, implement Cyber Essentials controls, and design incident response procedures aligned to ICO notification requirements.

FAQs
Common questions from United Kingdom clients
What does Cyber Essentials certification involve, and can you help?
Cyber Essentials covers five controls: firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. We conduct a gap assessment, remediate findings, and support your self-assessment questionnaire. CE Plus includes an external vulnerability scan we can facilitate.
How does iSpecia support ICO breach notification requirements?
We design incident response runbooks with a 72-hour ICO notification trigger, implement logging and alerting to detect breaches early, and help you draft notification templates. We can also conduct a post-incident review.
Can you conduct penetration tests for our UK-hosted web application?
Yes. We conduct OWASP Top 10 web application tests, API security assessments, and cloud configuration reviews. Our reports include CVSS scores, proof-of-concept evidence, and remediation guidance. We recommend quarterly tests for regulated UK businesses.
