COMMON TRIGGERS
Security risk usually becomes urgent when evidence is needed quickly.
Many organisations have controls in place, but still struggle to evidence what is working, where responsibility sits and what needs to improve. A security review gives leadership a clearer, independent view before scrutiny increases.
A customer is asking security questions
Security questionnaires, procurement checks and enterprise due diligence can expose weak evidence quickly.
The board needs clearer cyber visibility
Leadership needs a practical view of exposure, priority risks and what should happen next.
Controls exist but evidence is thin
Your teams may be doing sensible things, but the proof is scattered, incomplete or not board-ready.
Systems, suppliers or markets are changing
Growth, new cloud platforms, new suppliers, acquisitions or new customer requirements can shift risk quickly.
WHAT AMETROS REVIEWS
A practical review across people, process, technology and governance.
The review scope is shaped around your size, systems, customer pressure, risk exposure and available evidence. The aim is to identify meaningful improvement, not produce a theoretical report.
Governance and ownership
Security roles, decision-making, escalation, risk acceptance and leadership visibility.
Policies and procedures
Security policies, practical procedures, ownership, review cycles and evidence quality.
Access control
User access, administrator privileges, MFA coverage, joiner/mover/leaver controls and review routines.
Cloud and infrastructure
Cloud configuration, remote access, boundary controls, endpoint coverage and hosting arrangements.
Vulnerability and patching
Patch management, known blockers, vulnerability handling, remediation priorities and evidence.
Supplier and third-party risk
Security expectations, supplier assurance, data processing, contract pressure and monitoring.
Incident readiness
Escalation, response planning, tabletop readiness, communication routes and lessons learned.
Customer assurance evidence
Evidence packs, questionnaire support, board summaries and audit-ready outputs.
OUTPUTS
Useful outputs your leadership team can act on.
Ametros turns findings into clear evidence, decision support and prioritised remediation, so teams know what matters and leadership can monitor progress.
Clear ownership and escalation routes
A leadership-friendly overview of current position, priority risks and the recommended route forward.
Risk-rated findings report
Practical findings separated by severity, business impact, control weakness and likely remediation priority.
Evidence gap register
A clear view of where evidence is missing, fragmented or insufficient for customer, insurer, board or auditor scrutiny.
Prioritised improvement roadmap
A realistic plan that separates immediate blockers, near-term improvements and longer-term maturity work.
Optional board briefing
Support to explain risk, recommended actions and commercial implications to leadership teams.
Route into retained support
Where needed, findings can move into vCISO, ISO readiness, Cyber Essentials Plus or broader assurance support.
HOW WE WORK
A four-step route from security uncertainty to practical assurance.
We start with scope, review evidence and controls, prioritise findings, then help turn the output into action, reporting or retained assurance support.
Scope the review
We clarify business drivers, systems, teams, evidence sources, customer pressure, deadlines and the level of depth required.
Review controls and evidence
We assess people, process, technology and governance arrangements, using available documents, stakeholder input and practical evidence.
Prioritise the risks
We separate urgent blockers from wider improvements so leadership can see what matters, why it matters and what to do first.
Report and improve
You receive clear outputs, action planning and the option to move into implementation, retained vCISO or assurance support.
SUPPORT LEVELS
Core, Managed or Embedded security review support.
The right model depends on the depth of review needed, available evidence, urgency, customer pressure and whether you need follow-on implementation or retained cyber leadership.
FOCUSED SECURITY REVIEW
Core
Best for organisations that need an independent view of current cyber risk, evidence gaps and immediate priorities.
REVIEW PLUS IMPROVEMENT SUPPORT
Managed
Best for organisations that need support turning review findings into action plans, evidence packs and assurance progress.
RETAINED CYBER ASSURANCE
Embedded
Best for organisations where security review findings need ongoing senior leadership, board reporting or certification preparation.
RELATED SERVICES
Turn review findings into the right assurance route.
Security review findings often create a clear route into retained cyber leadership, certification readiness, incident preparation or customer assurance support.
Fractional vCISO
Senior cyber leadership, board reporting, customer assurance and security roadmap ownership.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Readiness support for tender, customer or insurance-driven certification requirements.
ISO 27001 Readiness
ISMS scope, risk assessment, policy framework, Statement of Applicability and evidence support.
Incident Readiness
Response planning, escalation, tabletop readiness and practical incident governance.

FAQ
Common questions about security reviews
Can this be delivered as a one-off project?
Yes. Many engagements start as a review, audit or project and can later move into retained support where ongoing oversight is useful.
Can this be combined with other services?
Yes. Ametros can combine privacy, cyber security, governance and assurance work into a single support model where appropriate.
Is this a penetration test?
No. A security review is broader and governance-led. It reviews security arrangements, evidence, ownership, controls and assurance gaps. Where technical testing is required, it can be scoped separately.
Can the output support customer due diligence?
Yes. The review can be shaped to support customer assurance, board reporting, insurer requests, procurement checks and wider evidence-led discussions.
