A security programme without a security team.
Customers demand Cyber Essentials, the insurer wants answers, and security is one of your several jobs. Assura runs the programme - assessments, risks priced in real money, staff attestations, supplier checks - and briefs you each morning on the three things that actually need you.
A short call about your organisation, then a full demo if it fits - no obligation.
What you'll lean on most.
The whole platform is included - these are the pieces that carry an SME programme week to week.
The nightly agent sweeps everything, opens tasks for what regressed, and gives you the three items that need a human - you, briefly.
Continuous monitoringCyber Essentials for the contracts, ISO 27001 when the bigger customers insist - plain-English questions, honest readiness.
AssessmentsWhen the owner asks "how bad is it?", answer with a number: likely annual exposure, and what fixing the top risks saves.
Risk & ExposurePolicies people actually acknowledge - each person gets a tracked link, you see who's read what, auditors see the evidence.
Your payroll, hosting and logistics suppliers assessed with one link each - because their breach is your incident.
Vendor RiskInsurer proposal forms ask what your posture is; Assura's evidence and exposure model answer with proof instead of optimism.
Security is your fourth job.
You run IT, operations, maybe half of procurement - and security fits in the gaps. The failure mode isn't ignorance, it's attention: nobody watched the thing that drifted. Assura is built to be the attention - watching continuously and interrupting you only when something genuinely changed.
- Daily checks across your stack without anyone running them
- Alerts only on transitions - green to red, never red-again
- A briefing that respects your morning: three items, prioritised
Answers for everyone who asks.
The customer wants Cyber Essentials, the insurer wants the proposal form, the board wants to know what it costs, the auditor wants evidence. It's all the same underlying truth - Assura keeps that truth current and dresses it for each audience.
- Customers: a trust page and completed questionnaires
- The board: exposure in real money and a one-click report
- The auditor: a read-only evidence link, no export ritual
- You: one platform instead of nine spreadsheets
Asked and answered.
How much time does this actually take to run?
After setup, the running cost is reading a short briefing and working the tasks it opens. The checks, chasing and record-keeping - the part that used to eat afternoons - runs itself.
We already use a consultant. Does this replace them?
It replaces the measuring and reporting you're paying consulting hours for, so the hours you do buy go on judgement. Plenty of consultancies run Assura for their clients for exactly that reason.
What does it cost?
Pricing is scoped to your organisation's size and needs - book a demo and we'll agree a plan. One subscription covers the whole platform; there are no per-framework charges.
