Oakwood Intelligence helps small and medium-sized businesses protect their data, their clients, and their reputation — without the jargon, and without the enterprise price tag.
Most small businesses assume a cyberattack won't happen to them.
The reality is different. 43% of UK businesses experienced a cybersecurity breach or attack in the past 12 months. And the most common targets are not large corporations — they are small businesses that hold valuable data but haven't had the time or resource to check their defences.
You don't need an in-house security team. You need a trusted partner who can tell you honestly where you stand — and help you fix it.
That's what we do.
We offer four services, each designed to give you clear, actionable insight into your security posture — with no unnecessary complexity.
We test your internet-facing systems the way a real attacker would — methodically, safely, and with your full authorisation. You receive a clear report telling you exactly what we found, what it means for your business, and what to do about it.
If your business has a website, customer portal, or web-based application, it is a potential entry point for attackers. We assess your web applications manually and thoroughly — testing for the vulnerabilities that automated tools miss — and report back in language your whole team can act on.
A penetration test tells you where you stand today. Our monthly monitoring service keeps that picture current. Every month we scan your external systems, compare the results against last month's baseline, and tell you if anything has changed.
New vulnerabilities are published every single day. When one affects software your business uses, attackers move fast. Our alerting service monitors daily vulnerability publications against your specific technology stack and notifies you promptly — so you can act before anyone else does.
We handle the complexity. You get clear answers.
Tell us a little about your business and what you'd like assessed. We'll arrange a short scoping call — no obligation, no pressure.
We confirm exactly what will be tested, when, and how. Nothing happens without your explicit written authorisation.
Testing is conducted remotely within the agreed window. We work carefully and methodically — your systems stay running.
A clear, plain-English report — executive summary for decision-makers, technical detail for your IT team. Draft first, final after your review.
A debrief call to explain findings, answer questions, and help you prioritise what to fix first.
We work with small and medium-sized businesses that hold sensitive data and want to take their security seriously — without needing an in-house IT security team.
Client confidentiality is your foundation. We help you protect it.
You hold financial data for dozens of clients. We help keep it safe.
FCA regulated and client-trusted. We help you stay that way.
Health data demands the highest protection. We help you provide it.
High-value transactions and personal data. We help you secure both.
If you hold client data, you have a duty to protect it. We make that straightforward.
Oakwood Intelligence is a UK-based cybersecurity consultancy founded to make professional security testing accessible to the businesses that need it most — small and medium-sized organisations that hold sensitive data but have never had access to affordable, trustworthy security expertise.
We believe cybersecurity shouldn't require a technical degree to understand. Every report we produce is written to be read by real people — business owners, practice managers, and directors who need clear answers, not jargon.
Our consultants hold industry-recognised offensive security certifications and bring hands-on technical expertise to every engagement. We work methodically, communicate clearly, and treat every client's data with the same care we would expect for our own.
We are fully ICO registered, operate under signed legal agreements for every engagement, and handle all client data in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Every assessment is conducted by a human consultant. We find what automated tools miss.
Plain English throughout. Executive summary for leadership, technical detail for your IT team.
All engagement data is stored on encrypted UK infrastructure. We never share client information with third parties.
Whether you have a specific requirement or just want to understand your options, we're happy to have a no-obligation conversation. Fill in the form and we'll get back to you within one business day.
