A simple compliance and cyber readiness platform that helps UK SMEs understand, track and improve their cyber security posture.

This product would provide a lightweight cyber compliance dashboard for SMEs, helping them assess their current position against recognised UK standards such as Cyber Essentials, identify missing controls, assign actions, store evidence and prepare for certification or supplier assurance questionnaires.Rather than being a complex enterprise GRC platform, it would be designed specifically for smaller organisations that may not have a dedicated cyber security team. The product could translate technical requirements into plain English, provide guided checklists, reminders, document templates, and a readiness score that helps business owners see what they need to fix next.The platform could also connect SMEs with approved cyber advisors, managed service providers o

USP

Most cyber security tools are either too technical, too expensive, or designed for enterprise compliance teams. This product would be positioned as:β€œCyber compliance made understandable for UK SMEs.”The differentiation is simplicity: not a giant GRC system, not a vulnerability scanner, and not a consultancy-heavy service β€” but a practical guided product that helps small organisations know what to do, prove what they have done, and become more attractive to customers, insurers and procurement
