Cardiff cybersecurity — common questions
How do you handle Welsh public-sector cyber differently from English?
NHS Wales runs on the LHB (Local Health Board) model rather than ICB; Welsh Government has its own Cyber Resilience Framework distinct from Cabinet Office MCSS; Welsh procurement runs via Sell2Wales / NPS-Wales alongside UK CCS. We work to Welsh-specific requirements while applying the same underlying NCSC CAF / CE+ controls.
Can you run cyber for an NHS Wales LHB?
Yes — we work with Cardiff & Vale, Cwm Taf Morgannwg and broader NHS Wales LHB-affiliated organisations on NHS Wales Information Governance, Caldicott Principles, NHS Wales Informatics Service standards.
Are your engineers SC or DV cleared for Welsh Government work?
Yes — we hold a roster of SC-cleared engineers and can arrange DV through the sponsoring Welsh Government department.
Do you handle content + IP protection for BBC Cymru / Bad Wolf?
Yes — content-protection controls, DRM-aware workflows, IP exfiltration prevention, secure media-transfer pipelines for the Cardiff Bay broadcast cluster.
Can you provide Welsh-language documentation for cyber reporting?
For Welsh Government and NHS Wales customers requiring it, yes — quarterly reports, incident summaries, board-level cyber updates can be provided bilingually.
How do you price cyber for a 100-user Cardiff firm?
Three-tier model — Foundation, Resilience, Regulated.
