Audit & Compliance Support
Cyber Security Certifications
We specialise in helping businesses achieve trusted cyber security certifications including Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, IASME Cyber Assurance, IASME Cyber Baseline, The Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) and NHS DSPT audits.
Whether you’re aiming to meet regulatory requirements, win contracts, or strengthen internal security, we guide you through every step of the process with expert support.
Cyber Essentials
Cyber Essentials is a UK government information assurance scheme owned by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), empowers organisations to protect themselves against a wide range of the most common cyber threats. This certification demonstrates a basic yet essential level of cybersecurity.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Cyber Essentials Plus is the advanced level of the information assurance scheme owned by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). It includes all the protections of Cyber Essentials with the added assurance of an independent, hands-on technical audit.
IASME Cyber Assurance
IASME Cyber Assurance is a comprehensive, UK-based information assurance standard designed to protect organisations of all sizes. Developed by IASME and aligned with international standards like ISO/IEC 27001, it demonstrates robust cybersecurity governance, risk management, and data protection practices.
IASME Cyber Baseline
IASME Cyber Baseline is a globally accessible cyber hygiene certification for organisations outside the UK. Developed by IASME, it provides assurance that basic cybersecurity measures are in place and aligned with international best practices, including those from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
Defence Cyber Certification (DCC)
The Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) is a UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) endorsed scheme designed to improve the cyber resilience of the MOD supply chain. It ensures that all suppliers, regardless of size, meet proportionate levels of cybersecurity based on the sensitivity of the contracts they support. Managed by IASME, the scheme offers a clear framework to demonstrate compliance with MOD cyber requirements.
NHS DSPT Compliance
The NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) Independent Audit is a mandatory, formal review of how organisations, including healthcare providers and IT suppliers, protect NHS patient data. From 2024, the audit is now aligned with the UK Government’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), raising the bar for cyber resilience and aligning health and care cybersecurity with wider critical national infrastructure standards.

Managed Vulnerability Management
New vulnerabilities are discovered daily, leaving businesses exposed to risks they often don’t even know exist. StarSwift’s Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS) delivers continuous visibility, prioritised risk insight, and clear guidance to help you reduce exposure and strengthen your cyber defences. It is proactive security, made practical and accessible.
Managed Security Awareness Training
Human error remains the biggest cyber risk for most organisations. StarSwift’s Managed Security Awareness Training helps you turn your people into your first line of defence, the “human firewall”. Delivered and managed by a SANS certified Security Awareness Professional, this ongoing programme combines engaging training, realistic phishing simulations, and insightful reporting to build a lasting culture of security.

Infosec Assessments & Testing
Stay ahead of threats with targeted security assessments tailored to your business.
We offer cloud security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and breach data checks to help you uncover risks, spot misconfigurations, and understand your exposure. Our clear, action-focused reports make it easy to prioritise fixes and strengthen your defences.
Cloud Security Assessment
Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 are powerful, but without the right security controls, they can introduce serious risk. StarSwift’s Cloud Security Assessment helps you uncover misconfigurations, protect sensitive data, and align with best practices, giving you clarity and control over your Microsoft 365 environment.
Breach Data Assessment
Your employees’ data may already be exposed, and you may not even know it. StarSwift’s Breach Data Assessment identifies compromised credentials and leaked information linked to your organisation, helping you respond quickly and reduce the risk of exploitation.
Vulnerability Assessments
Even the most robust systems have weaknesses. StarSwift’s Vulnerability Assessment service helps you proactively discover and address technical security gaps before attackers do. From internet-facing assets to internal infrastructure, we help ensure your defences are robust, compliant, and continually improving.
Holistic Approach
Addressing the Human Factors
Your people are your first line of defence. We offer managed security awareness training and bespoke workshops designed to reduce human error and build a culture of cyber vigilance.
From phishing simulations to role-specific sessions, we tailor our training to your organisation, making security second nature for all staff.
