Cyber Security Services for Business Resilience and Compliance
Cyber threats are a business reality, and the consequences of a breach go far beyond a technical fix – from reputational damage and regulatory fines to operational disruption and lost customer trust. Our cyber security services, delivered through WorkNest Secure, give you the confidence to operate safely, with a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to keep your business protected, compliant, and resilient.
WorkNest Secure is part of Axiom GRC, delivering comprehensive cyber security services that help organisations protect their people, systems, and data. Combining penetration testing, threat-led attack simulations, compliance and data protection support, and security leadership services, WorkNest Secure helps organisations strengthen security posture and meet regulatory obligations.
What do cyber security services include?
Effective cyber security requires more than a single assessment or compliance exercise. Organisations need ongoing visibility of risk, expert guidance, and practical solutions that strengthen resilience over time.
WorkNest Secure provides a comprehensive suite of cyber security services designed to help organisations identify vulnerabilities, respond to emerging threats, and maintain compliance.
Services include:
- CREST and CHECK certified penetration testing
- Continuous vulnerability scanning and monitoring
- Threat-led Red Team exercises and attack simulations
- Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services
- ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, PCI DSS and DORA compliance support
- Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) services
- GDPR compliance assessments and audits
- Security awareness training and phishing simulations
- Cloud, infrastructure, application and network security testing
- Security consultancy and risk management support
By combining technical expertise with strategic guidance, organisations gain a clearer understanding of risk and a practical roadmap for improvement.
How do cyber security services improve organisational resilience?
Our CREST and CHECK certified penetration testers assess your networks, applications, and cloud infrastructure using real-world attack techniques, delivering prioritised findings and clear remediation guidance through a modern, intuitive dashboard. Automated scanning runs continuously alongside every test, so protection does not stop when the engagement ends.
For organisations that need to go further, our Red Team specialists conduct threat-led attack simulations that test your technical controls, people, and processes under frameworks including CREST STAR, TIBER-EU, and DORA , giving you a true picture of your resilience.
Beyond testing, our virtual CISO service provides senior security leadership on a flexible basis without the internal overhead, supporting risk management and certifications including ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and PCI DSS. Our outsourced DPO service takes the complexity out of UK GDPR and Data Protection Act compliance, with hands-on support for audits, DPIAs, and ongoing regulatory monitoring. And, because human error remains the leading cause of incidents, we provide security awareness training and phishing simulations to build a genuinely security-conscious workforce.
By investing in cyber resilience, organisations can:
- Reduce exposure to cyber attacks and data breaches
- Improve visibility of security risks across the organisation
- Meet compliance and certification requirements
- Strengthen incident response capabilities
- Protect business continuity and operational resilience
- Build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders
