Information Security for Small Businesses.
Fast.
Most small businesses know they need to take information security seriously, but aren’t sure where to start.
I’m Alan Parker, and for ten years I’ve been helping SMEs cut through the complexity and get it done.

ISO 27001
Looking at ISO 27001 Certification?
ISO 27001 is the world’s leading information security management system standard. It demonstrates to clients that you are serious about their data. I help SMEs get it quickly and without fuss.
I just need a set of security document templates.
I will do it myself with some online training.
We need someone to guide us to 27001.
I’d like to just learn the basics.

Not Sure Where to Start With GDPR?
Businesses know about GDPR. Most just keep kicking it down the road. If you process data from EU or UK residents, the clock is already ticking…
What Sets Me Apart.
I’m not a big consultancy firm charging the earth. I’m an individual offering coaching and support to SMEs seeking to improve their information security without upending their business.
It’s far better for you to build your own framework than have a consultant do it for you. You’ll tailor it better, run it more effectively, minimise costs, and explain how it works to clients and auditors.
Speed and agility are important things to a small businesses. We can harness that in way larger organisations can’t to help your compliance journey, but we need to do it without loosing quality.
Smooth and steady can winout over rushing things and having to redo them. So getting things right first time minimises disruption.
I believe it’s important to tailor the approach to your business and the unique risk assessments it faces, rather than trying to apply a generic over-cooked ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.
I don’t like jargon, so using clear language and keeping things easy to digest are important to me.
So, rather than dropping a huge amount of information on you in one go, we’ll start with the helicopter view, then break it into small steps, tackling one area at a time before moving on to the next.
Above all, keeping communications clear and understandable helps compliance. If people don’t understand you, they can’t comply. We’ll make sure the journey to information security governance is less legal speak and more friendly guidance.
I use something I’ve termed as ‘Minimal Viable Compliance‘.
The idea is simple: build your solution first (if certification is your target, aim for that and no higher), and you can build maturity later.
If you lay a strong foundation, you’ll be able to build on it without worrying about things collapsing and rolling back to where they were.
