A defined review and a written report. It is not unlimited implementation work. You get a clear picture of what your customer is asking for, where you stand and what to do next.
You can implement the recommendations internally, hand them to your existing MSP, or ask DefendVista for separately scoped support.
The online Cyber Readiness Check provides a general indication of where your business may stand. The £495 Contract Readiness Review examines your actual customer requirements, security controls and available evidence and produces a written professional report.

Why it matters
A cyber incident is an operational problem, not only an IT one
Dispatch and delivery disruption
If transport or warehouse management systems are unavailable, planning, loading and delivery slots are affected. Work moves to paper, and the operation slows while systems are restored.
Contract and customer risk
Customers and procurement teams increasingly ask suppliers to evidence their security. Missing evidence, or a poorly handled incident, can affect renewals and tender eligibility.
Financial, regulatory and recovery exposure
Recovery takes management time and external support. Where personal data is involved, UK GDPR reporting duties and insurer requirements apply on top of the operational cost.

Still have a question? Raise it on the initial call, or contact us.
Do you replace our IT provider?+
No. We work alongside your in-house IT team or your MSP. We focus on security assurance, evidence and incident readiness, and we are happy for your existing provider to carry out the technical changes we recommend.
Do you only work with transport and logistics firms?+
Transport, logistics, haulage and warehousing are our specialism, and that is where our sector knowledge is strongest. We also support other operational UK SMEs where the same approach applies.
What does an engagement cost?+
The online Cyber Readiness Check carries no charge and gives you a directional readiness snapshot. A Contract Readiness Review is £495 and produces a written professional report you can act on with or without us. Larger pieces of work are scoped and quoted individually, at a price agreed before anything starts.
How quickly can work begin?+
It depends on the scope and on current commitments, so we confirm realistic dates on the initial call rather than promising a fixed lead time in advance.
What happens after the initial call?+
You get a short written summary of what we discussed and what we suggest doing first. If a paid piece of work makes sense, we send a defined scope and price. If it does not, we say so.
