UK Cybersecurity Consultancy

Cybersecurity you can understand.
Protection you can trust.

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.

UK-based consultancy
All work fully authorised and scoped
GDPR-compliant data handling

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.

How we protect your business

We offer four services, each designed to give you clear, actionable insight into your security posture — with no unnecessary complexity.

External Network Penetration Test

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.

What's included
  • Assessment of all agreed external IP addresses and services
  • Identification of vulnerabilities in exposed systems
  • Risk-rated findings with plain-English explanations
  • Executive summary for non-technical stakeholders
  • Prioritised remediation guidance
  • Draft report + final report after your review
  • Debrief call to walk through findings

Web Application Penetration Test

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.

What's included
  • Manual testing aligned to the OWASP Top 10
  • Authentication, access controls, and session security
  • Input validation and injection vulnerabilities
  • Business logic and API security
  • Risk-rated findings with evidence
  • Draft report + final report after your review
  • Debrief call to walk through findings

Monthly Attack Surface Monitoring

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.

What's included
  • Monthly scan of your agreed external IP addresses
  • Change detection against previous baseline
  • CVE matching against identified software versions
  • Monthly summary report within 3 working days
  • Immediate alert if a critical issue is identified between reports

CVE & Vulnerability Alerting

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.

What's included
  • Daily monitoring against your technology inventory
  • Alerts within 24 hours for critical and high severity vulnerabilities
  • Plain-English explanation of every alert — no technical jargon
  • Weekly digest of medium severity findings
  • Monthly inventory review to keep your profile current
