Suppliers to central government, local authorities, NHS bodies, education sector, and EU-regulated public bodies face procurement scrutiny that commercial buyers rarely impose. Independent penetration testing, ISO 27001 alignment, and demonstrable security governance are the baseline for selection. We deliver the testing and evidence that procurement teams, security questionnaires, and supplier assurance reviews require.
