Services

Executive leadership, on demand.

Most SMEs can't justify a full-time CISO or CIO. You still need the judgement. We provide it, at the level and pace you need.

Risk-first assessment

Where to start

A fast, practical view of where you stand and what to fix first.

  • Critical-risk prioritisation
  • Access to critical data
  • Likely threats to your sector
  • Clear, costed next steps

Approach

Maximum impact. Minimal resources.

No 200-page reports. We work alongside your team as part of the crew, and focus effort where it counts.

Understand

Learn your business, your crown jewels and your appetite for risk.

Prioritise

Rank the vulnerabilities and threats that could do the most damage.

Lead

Drive the fixes, report to leadership, and stay vigilant as things change.

Why we exist

Most SMEs still handle cybersecurity reactively, waiting for a crisis. We help them get ahead of it.

A breach is hard for a small business to recover from. And when you sit in the supply chain of larger organisations, the impact ripples outward.

Cyber Daddy bridges the skills gap with practical, affordable leadership, so you can protect what matters most and get on with running your business.
