Practical Resilience and Information Security Consultancy
A Joined‑Up Approach to Risk and Resilience
Risks rarely stay neatly in one box. A cyber attack quickly becomes a continuity problem. A supplier failure becomes a crisis. A data breach becomes an information security, privacy and reputational issue all at once.
That is why our work spans business continuity, crisis management, supply chain resilience, information security and data protection — helping organisations see how these areas connect and build capability that holds up under real pressure.
Business Continuity
Helping organisations identify essential activities, understand their dependencies and develop continuity arrangements that work in real disruptions — not just on paper. Plans that staff can actually use, built around how the organisation truly operates.
Crisis Management
Supporting leadership teams to respond with clarity and control when serious incidents occur. Structured frameworks, practical training, and realistic exercises that build genuine confidence rather than just ticking a box.
Supply Chain Resilience
Helping organisations understand which suppliers are genuinely critical, what would happen if one failed, and what proportionate fallback arrangements should look like. Joined up with business continuity and information security throughout.
Information Security
Practical, proportionate information security consultancy — including ISO 27001 certification support from a qualified Lead Auditor who knows the standard from both sides of the audit table.
Data Protection
Practical UK GDPR advice and outsourced DPO services for organisations that need to handle personal data responsibly without being overwhelmed by complexity. Aligned with information security and wider resilience arrangements.
ISO 27001
End-to-end certification support from a qualified Lead Auditor — from gap analysis and scoping through to certification and long-term ISMS maintenance. Practical, proportionate, and built to last beyond the certificate.
Proportion, Not Pressure
Every organisation is different. A small tech team does not need the same level of formality as a large provider of national services. Effective resilience is not about adopting the heaviest framework; it is about matching effort to context.
Our approach is always proportionate. We help organisations:
- avoid over‑engineering
- focus on what genuinely matters
- build arrangements that fit their culture
- remove unnecessary documentation
- create systems that teams will actually use
This proportionate approach is one reason clients continue working with us year after year: it protects their time, supports their staff and strengthens capability without adding burden.
Tailored to Your Organisation
No two organisations face identical risks. We take the time to understand your context and design solutions that are proportionate, practical, and fit for purpose.

Confidence That Lasts
When staff know what matters, understand what to do, and trust the arrangements around them, organisations respond to disruption with steadiness rather than stress. That confidence does not happen by accident — it is built through good preparation, realistic exercises, and clear documentation that people actually understand.
We help build that confidence through:
- supportive training
- realistic exercises
- simple, human‑centred plans
- long‑term guidance
- clear alignment between continuity, crisis, information security and Data Protection
Confidence is also built through continuity of support. Because Cambridge Risk Solutions is intentionally small, clients work directly with an experienced practitioner who understands their organisation, its pressures and its priorities. There are no subcontractors or shifting teams — just steady, consistent guidance.
Over time, this creates strong relationships based on trust, clarity and shared understanding. Many of our clients have worked with us for more than a decade, returning for support as their organisations change or their needs evolve.
What sets Cambridge Risk Solutions apart is experience you can test.
We have been doing this work since 2008 — long enough to have supported organisations through real incidents, not just hypothetical ones. As certified Lead Auditors for ISO 22301 and ISO 27001, we understand these standards from both sides: we help clients achieve certification and we audit organisations that hold it. That combination matters when the advice needs to hold up under scrutiny.
Our work has been recognised externally. Cambridge Risk Solutions has won multiple CIR Business Continuity Awards, including Business Continuity Strategy Through Partnership (2013, 2014, 2015), Consultant of the Year (2015), and Initiative of the Year (2023). The LLRRF project has been shortlisted for two further awards in 2026 — Initiative of the Year and Best Contribution to Continuity and Resilience.
None of this would matter if the quality of the day-to-day work weren't there. Our clients tell us it is, and many of them have been telling us for more than a decade.
A Steady Partner in Uncertain Times
Risk will always be part of organisational life. With the right structures, the right thinking, and the right support, it does not have to be daunting.
Whether you need to strengthen business continuity arrangements, develop crisis management capability, achieve ISO 27001 certification, or build better data protection governance — we work with you in a way that is calm, proportionate and grounded in nearly two decades of real-world experience.
