Prove your security.
Win the work that depends on it.
I guide UK and international businesses through Cyber Essentials and other trusted security standards, from first assessment to a result you can put in front of clients, insurers and tenders.
Or the baseline your market recognises.

You stay in control the whole way, self-assessing where you can and bringing in an assessor where a standard needs one. Recognised proof, whatever your size or sector.
One consultant. Every step. Proof you can show.
Compliance shouldn’t mean a wall of jargon or a process you can’t follow. I take you from where you are to a recognised, defensible posture: vendor-neutral, evidence-led, and documented in one place you keep.
Clear from start to proof you can show.
Know where you stand
We map your systems against the right standard and set out exactly where you conform, and where you don’t. No guesswork.
Close the gaps together
I guide your team through each control in plain English, gathering the evidence as we go, all kept in one place you own.
Submit, and stay current
You submit for certification or sign-off with confidence, then keep it maintained all the way to renewal. Ready for tenders and insurers.
Hemanth Vishnu Akula
Cybersecurity and compliance consultant with 8+ years across security and IT. I work with growing businesses that need a recognised standard like Cyber Essentials but don’t have an in-house team to get there. My role is to make the path clear: I set out exactly what’s required, do the hands-on work alongside you, and see it through from first conversation to certification. You come away with more than a certificate. You understand your own security and can speak to it with confidence.
Alongside this practice I build Authex, which defends businesses against email impersonation, keeping my work grounded in the technical detail rather than the theory. I run an independent firm and work with clients around the world, bringing the rigour of enterprise security to businesses that don’t have, and don’t need, an enterprise team.
Let’s make you demonstrably secure.
Tell me a little about your business and I’ll point you to the right standard and a realistic path to certification. A free 20-minute call, no obligation.
I’ll only use this to reply to you. See the privacy notice.
