Security Audit · Glasgow
Security Audit in Glasgow
An assessment of where a Glasgow organisation actually stands. An audit is not a penetration test — it reviews controls, configuration and process rather than attempting to break in, and for most organisations it finds more than a test would because the gaps are administrative rather than technical.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nobody can answer what security measures are in place, whether they work, or what an insurer or a client's questionnaire would find if they looked closely.
What you get
What we deliver
- Identity and access reviewed, including accounts belonging to people who left
- Endpoint and server configuration checked against a recognised baseline
- Backup and recovery tested rather than confirmed as configured
- Third-party access assessed, since suppliers are a common route in
- Policies compared against what actually happens day to day
- Findings ranked by risk, with a plan proportionate to your size

Working in Glasgow
Scotland
Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.

Security Audit in Glasgow — common questions
- How is this different from a penetration test?
- A test attempts to break in and finds exploitable technical weaknesses. An audit reviews whether controls exist and work — access management, patching, backups, process. Most organisations get more from an audit first, because that is where the gaps usually are.
- What is most commonly found?
- Accounts still active for people who left, administrative rights spread far wider than necessary, backups never tested, and third-party access nobody remembers granting. None of it is exotic, and all of it is exploited routinely.
- Will it produce an unmanageable list?
- Not if findings are ranked by risk and matched to your capacity. A report listing two hundred items to an organisation with one IT person achieves nothing. The output should say what to do first, and what can reasonably wait.
- How often should we do this?
- Annually for most organisations, and after significant change — a move to new systems, an acquisition, a shift in how people work. Insurers and larger clients increasingly ask, so having a recent assessment is becoming commercially useful as well as prudent.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
