Cyber Security Compliance

Are you doing everything you can to protect your business from a cyber-attack? CloudTech24 are here to help.

We are a leading provider of cyber security compliance services, supporting businesses in their compliance efforts by helping them meet regulatory and industry requirements.

Our team have a wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with cyber-threats, from prevention to incident response. In addition to cyber compliance, we offer continuous monitoring, vulnerability assessments (risk assessments), and cyber resilience training.

Cybersecurity standards

The threat of a cyber-attack looms large over businesses of all sizes, so being cyber-compliant has never been more important.

Cybersecurity compliance frameworks provide a structured way to improve your security controls and ensure that you are meeting robust cybersecurity standards.

At CloudTech24 we have years of cybersecurity compliance experience, and much of our work involves ensuring our customers are protected against cyber threats. We are ISO 27001 certified, Cyber Essentials Plus accredited and CREST-accredited penetration testers and vulnerability assessors, and support businesses in gaining Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME Gold certification.

We also provide consultation for businesses to ensure that their processes and cybersecurity are compliant with frameworks such as NIST, CIS, and MITRE ATT&CK.

Who we are

Helping you meet cyber security standards

At CloudTech24, we can help you achieve cyber compliance.

If you can meet these high standards, you can mitigate the risk of a cyber attack and gain an advantage over your competitors, who may not meet the minimum cyber security standards. Your clients and prospects are actively looking for companies that take security seriously.

IT security & compliance

Compliance should be viewed as more than just meeting regulatory standards. Cyber-attacks and security breaches are common-place and can be a significant drain on business time and financial resources.

Business continuity is essential in an age where communications are primarily electronic, and operational infrastructure relies on IT provision.

UK businesses and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)

The NCSC is the UK government authority on cyber security compliance. Its main cyber security program is the Cyber Essentials scheme, designed to help businesses meet the minimum standard for cyber security.

Businesses working on a larger scale might need to align with Cyber Essentials Plus – a more comprehensive assessment involving a site visit from an accredited assessor, such as CloudTech24.

Global businesses, cyber threats, and compliance programs

Businesses outside the UK are subject to varying national standards. Popular frameworks and cyber security standards are set by NIS, CIS, and MITRE ATT&CK.

CloudTech24 works with businesses to ensure that their security controls and cyber security compliance align with these frameworks, ensuring effective business continuity management and risk mitigation.

Is cyber security a legal requirement?

In short, there is no single answer to this question, as different sectors and countries are governed by different regulations.

In the UK, if you are regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), there is no specific requirement for you to align with a cyber security compliance program. However, if you work in an industry such as finance, accounting, or law, you are in possession of sensitive data, which puts you at greater risk of being targeted. It is, therefore, recommended that you understand the cyber risk to your business and review your security controls.

If you are in the US, the SEC is the regulatory agency for financial markets and organisations failing to protect data and systems could face a large fine and substantial business disruption.

If you are a global business, the international standard is ISO 27001. Businesses dealing with large enterprises often require that their cyber security compliance program aligns with ISO 27001. This involves implementing detailed, expansive security measures to fulfil compliance obligations.

Learn more about ISO 27001.

Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification from the NCSC (National Cyber Security Council). It is designed to help organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats and sets out fundamental security controls covering aspects such as firewalls, user access, malware protection, and software updates.

Frequently asked questions on cyber security compliance

We’ve put together answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about cyber security compliance. If you prefer to speak to someone then give us a call and speak to one of our team so we can better understand your requirements.

Cybersecurity compliance refers to meeting the cybersecurity standards set by industry bodies, such as the IASME in the UK.

Cybersecurity refers to the measures taken to protect an organisation from cyber-attacks, whereas cybersecurity compliance is the practice of aligning your cybersecurity infrastructure and processes to meet specific regulations or legal requirements.

Compliance ensures that you align with regulated security standards and requirements and offers a framework to help your organisation improve its security posture. Some organisations will only work with businesses that can demonstrate their compliance, for example, Cyber Essentials certification is compulsory if the contract involves handling sensitive data or technical services for the MOD or any other UK Government agency.

In the UK, the national standard for cybersecurity compliance is Cyber Essentials. Globally, there are many different standards and frameworks.

No. Complying with a framework is not the same as actively securing your business information and assets. Compliance certifies that you have met a minimum cyber security standard, but robust cyber security requires proactive monitoring, review, engagement, and response.

22/04/2026

Working with CloudTech24 has been a genuinely smooth and valuable experience from start to finish. The onboarding process was structured and efficient, with the team taking time to fully understand our setup, risks, and goals before implementing any solutions.

Day-to-day, their support has been consistently reliable. Issues are handled quickly, often before they become real problems, and there’s a clear proactive approach rather than just reactive fixes.

Their cybersecurity expertise has also added a strong layer of confidence, we know our systems, data, and users are properly protected.

What stands out most is the level of service. Communication is clear, response times are fast, and nothing feels like too much trouble. They operate more like an extension of our team than an external provider, which makes a big difference.

Overall, it’s taken a lot of stress away from managing IT internally and allowed us to focus on growing the business, knowing everything behind the scenes is in safe hands.

CloudTech24 have been a huge support to Positively Adam, providing reliable IT and cybersecurity services here in London.

From day one, their approach has been proactive rather than reactive. Their 24/7 support gives real peace of mind, issues are handled quickly, communication is clear, and nothing feels left hanging. It’s reassuring to know our systems are constantly monitored and protected.

They’ve strengthened our Microsoft 365 setup, tightened our security, and made our overall IT infrastructure far more streamlined and resilient. Most importantly, they explain everything in straightforward terms, which makes decision-making easy and stress-free.

If you’re looking for an IT partner that genuinely adds value and helps your business run smoothly, I highly recommend CloudTech24.

We’ve been working with CloudTech24 for our IT support and cybersecurity in London, and the service has been outstanding.

Their 24/7 support genuinely makes a difference. Any issues are picked up quickly, resolved efficiently, and communicated clearly, no chasing, no confusion. You can tell they proactively monitor systems rather than just reacting when something breaks.

What really stands out is their professionalism and technical expertise. From Microsoft 365 support to strengthening our overall cybersecurity posture, everything feels structured, secure, and well-managed. They explain technical matters in plain English, which is invaluable for non-technical teams.

If you’re a London-based business looking for reliable, proactive IT support that actually feels like a partnership rather than a helpdesk, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CloudTech24.

Long term customer of Cloudtech24 – today was particularly useful as there is no one as nerdy as me in our company, and it was good just to bounce the problem off the team. I eventually found the answer myself – sort of ‘once you have excluded everything that should be causing it, you’re left with what it couldn’t be’. And it was!
