ACMECONSULTINGFounded in 1990ACME helps you find security consultants for risk assessment, information security, identity and technical controls. We also match specialists in application security and incident readiness. The work starts with what you need to protect and how your business operates. Together we identify the expertise required and the responsibilities retained by your organisation.
Security risks are linked to business services, information and critical dependencies. The consultant examines areas such as assets, information classification and supplier commitments. Risk owners and decision-making authority are established, with actions prioritised by potential impact and residual risk.
Access should follow the task, from onboarding through role changes to departure. Work may cover multi-factor authentication, privileged accounts, service identities and access reviews. Approvals and traceability must remain workable as the organisation and its systems change.
Threat modelling, reviews and tests help development teams identify vulnerabilities and configuration errors. Findings are assessed by exposure and consequence. Improvements have owners for remediation and retesting, so the review leads to implementation.
Alerts need to reach people who can assess the situation and bring the right team together. The consultant supports escalation, incident coordination, containment and recovery. Exercises and tested backup restoration reveal gaps in procedures. Lessons are followed up after the event.
We agree the scope and deliverables with you.
Prioritised risks and actions with owners, critical dependencies and residual risk. Management and technical teams share a basis for decisions.
Improved permissions, configurations or development practices, with verification and agreed responsibility for ongoing maintenance.
Contacts, roles and exercise scenarios covering escalation, communication and recovery. The plan sets out how identified gaps will be addressed.
Begin with your most important services, information and dependencies. Establish who owns the risks and which consequences matter most. This provides a basis for a manageable first assignment and for choosing the specialist experience you need.
Start with the tasks users and systems actually need to perform. Test protection within those flows and examine exceptions and unnecessary privileges. A usable solution needs clear practices for support, monitoring and changes as requirements evolve.
Your organisation needs to own risk decisions and clarify authority, priorities and acceptance. A consultant can provide analysis, implementation and specialist knowledge. Agree assignment responsibilities, reporting and connections to business decision-makers from the start.
