A defined review and a written report, not an audit, certification, penetration test or guarantee of winning work. 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.
What the review covers
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.
Customers and procurement teams increasingly ask suppliers to evidence their security. Missing evidence, or a poorly handled incident, can affect renewals and tender eligibility.
Recovery takes management time and external support. Where personal data is involved, assess breach-notification duties and document the decision. Check any separate insurer requirements against your policy.

Daniel Agyemang Prempeh
Founder and lead consultant, DefendVista Ltd
DefendVista understands that a cyber incident affects dispatch, drivers, depots, customer commitments and revenue, not merely computers. That is why advice is given in operational terms and sized for a business with a small team and a real budget.
01
Understand the requirement
What the customer, insurer or tender is actually asking for, and what the business needs to keep running.

Assess the current position
A review of the controls and evidence you already hold, against that requirement.
03
Deliver the evidence and action plan
A written report with prioritised gaps and clear next steps you can act on.

Optional and separately scoped. You can also implement internally or through your existing MSP.

Ransomware Recovery Checklist
Ordered actions for the first hour, the first week and the hardening that follows.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
