What makes us different?

Consultancy Services Overview

Advent IM Information Security Consultancy, GRC Consultancy, Physical Security Consultancy, Business Continuity Consultancy and Data Protection Consultancy

Advent IM has a common-sense approach to information and physical security. But what makes us different?

We believe in partnering collaboratively with you – not doing consultancy to you – working within standards and frameworks that support Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) principles; which is why our services are bespoke to your specific business needs and drivers and are therefore sustainable and scalable to meet business change.

We can help you gain real business benefits through tangible cost savings, improved security practices that deliver efficiencies and ROI on your organisational security posture, security programmes and projects.

This will deliver an effective assurance platform giving you a competitive edge and your stakeholders, third parties and customers confidence in your commitment to security. And that’s why we have long-term partnerships with 95% of our customers.

Our consultancy services cover:

Using frameworks, standards, regulations and legislation such as:

  • Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)
  • NIST Cyber Security Framework (CSF)
  • ISO27001/2
  • Cyber Essentials / Cyber Essentials Plus
  • ISO22301

Overall I found Advent to be a very professional outfit with a friendly and delivery focused approach, thereby allowing project challenges to be tackled together in an open and swift manner. I only have good things to say with regards to Advent and would not hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to another government organisation.

Advent IM stands-out from the crowd because of its willingness to “go the extra mile” and go beyond the strict confines of deliverables defined under the terms of a contract.

I have benefitted from Advent IM’s excellent understanding of Information Assurance. This has been increasingly pertinent where data is being exchanged across physical, technical and geographic boundaries. Advent’s expertise in the area of ISO27000 series has shone through on this (as has their knowledge on other standards) and has been key in how risk management has been progressed.

Advent IM’s services were invaluable in the development of a risk treatment plan that was cost effective and proportionate. They demonstrated exemplary influencing skills by advocating an ISO 27001 approach to our suppliers, to the extent that this approach to managing the ISMS has been adopted by the supplier worldwide.
