Protect your information, prepare for cyber attack, and turn cyber risk into operational confidence.
Ransomware, data theft, supplier compromise and denial-of-service attacks can stop important services as surely as a fire or a flood. ADVOX helps organisations prepare, so that information stays protected, attacks are spotted and handled quickly, and the business can keep operating or recover when something goes wrong.
This work sits inside ADVOX’s wider focus on business continuity and operational resilience. Cyber risk is treated as part of keeping important services running, not as a separate technical exercise. Our support is advisory: we review, advise, exercise and train, and your own teams keep ownership of the systems.

A starting review covers five things.
Compare your current capability with where you want to be, measured against recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST, NIS2 and DORA, and any relevant regional requirements.
A review of information security risk and vulnerability, including risk from suppliers and other third parties, framed around ISO 31000.
Identify and classify your most valuable information and assets, so protection goes where it matters most.
Agree the realistic cyber scenarios for your organisation, such as ransomware, data breach and loss of a key supplier, and what each would do to important services.
Record where your security and resilience performance stands now, so improvement can be shown over time.
Good intentions fade without structure. A programme gives information security clear owners, clear rules and a routine for keeping them current, and connects to your business continuity framework.
Set up the governance, policies and manuals for an information security management approach that is repeatable, well understood and kept up to date.
Define who decides what, who is told and when, and how the cyber response links to your crisis management and communications arrangements.
Having plans in place is the start. Testing shows whether they will stand up when an attack arrives.
Plan a programme of exercises and tests that builds the capability your organisation needs, one step at a time.
Walk teams through realistic cyber scenarios, so decisions, roles and communications are tried before they are needed.
Record what needs to change after every exercise or incident, and track the actions to completion.
Scenario work builds on ADVOX’s Incident Response and Crisis Management Simulations and Gaming for Crisis Simulations.
If your organisation is working towards ISO 27001, an independent review beforehand can show where you stand and what to close first.
This is an independent review and guidance, not a certification audit. ADVOX does not issue ISO certificates. Certification is carried out by an accredited certification body.
Technology alone does not keep information safe.
ADVOX delivers cyber threats training for staff, managers and practitioners. See Cyber Threats Training.
ADVOX is independent of all technology suppliers. This page is general information, not legal, regulatory or technical-assurance advice.
