A few things
you might be wondering.
Have a different question?
Talk to us
Do we need an internal IT team?
No. GuardWorks is designed for businesses without a dedicated security team. We’ll agree who manages your day-to-day IT, whether that’s you, an internal team or an external provider, and take ownership of the security work in our scope.
Can you work with our existing IT provider?
Yes. We work alongside your IT provider, agree responsibilities and coordinate changes. You get specialist security expertise while keeping the people who already know your systems.
Is GuardWorks software or a managed service?
GuardWorks is a managed service delivered by people. Our team assesses, implements and manages your security. Our customer platform gives you a shared view of risks, work, evidence and progress.
Do you perform penetration testing?
Yes. We can scope application, infrastructure and other penetration tests as part of an engagement or a separate project, using specialist delivery partners where appropriate. Testing is performed only against explicitly authorised systems, within an agreed scope.
Can you help with compliance?
We help prepare policies, organise evidence, address gaps and respond to customer security requirements. We can support SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness. Formal audits and certification are handled by independent auditors or certification bodies.
How does onboarding work?
We start with a conversation about your business, systems and concerns. We then review your current position, agree the service scope and priorities, and organise the access and approvals needed to start work.
Do we need to replace existing security tools?
Usually, we start with what you already use. We review your tools and configurations, identify gaps and recommend changes only where they make sense for your business.
What happens if a security issue is discovered?
We assess its impact, explain the risk and agree the next steps. Our team handles remediation within the agreed scope and coordinates with your IT provider or specialist incident response partners when needed. Response coverage and escalation arrangements are agreed as part of your service.
