Cyber Resilience Consultancy
Overview
P3M Works was selected by The University of West England to join their bank of Digital Consultants to provide cyber guidance and support to a select number of SME organisations through their Workforce of the Future support programme.
The Challenge
UWE wanted to provide expert cyber guidance to SMEs they were supporting, to raise their cyber hygiene levels and promote cyber security across the region. P3M Works helped UWE shape an effective cyber resilience and education package that could be scaled across SME organisations remotely or in person and achieve the following objectives:
- Achieve baseline understanding of the supported organisation’s cyber risk by conducting a cyber review.
- Mitigate the threats and vulnerabilities identified in the cyber review.
- Equip the supported organisation with tools and techniques to maintain their cyber health.
- Provide bespoke cyber training.
Our Approach
P3M Works worked with UWE to create a bespoke cyber resilience and education package that would bring targeted organisations to a baseline cyber security standard, which was aligned with IASME Cyber Essentials. P3M Works deployed cyber consultants to the supported SME organisations with the initial objective of conducting a review of their current cyber security posture. During and after this initial objective, P3M Works spent time with each SME organisation’s cyber security lead to ensure that the objectives we had identified remained relevant. Some organisations required specialist tailoring which is detailed in the below examples.

The Outcome
SME organisations were able to achieve Cyber Essentials if they chose to and gained confidence with cyber security controls and functions, which resulted in a more positive cyber security culture, rather than a culture of concern. Furthermore, they understood their key vulnerabilities and their path to further organisational cyber maturity.
P3M Works provided a great service
