Cyber security consultancy helps you find and close weaknesses in your systems before a real attacker finds them. We run penetration tests and vulnerability scans within a scope agreed in writing, review web applications and factory networks (IoT/OT), rank the findings by risk and give a practical fix for each one.
Attackers rarely pick targets by company size; they look for an open door. An unpatched server, a camera left on its default password or an admin panel exposed to the internet is enough for a data leak, a ransomware incident or a halted production line.
This service is for organisations that hold customer data, run a web application or portal exposed to the internet, rely on remote access, or have connected their production network to the office network. What you get at the end is not a general answer to "are we secure?" but a work list showing which weakness to close first, and how. We have built software and hardware in the same team since 2013; because we make our own IoT devices and industrial software, we understand operational technology such as factory networks, PLCs and SCADA, not just office IT.
Controlled attack attempts against web applications, APIs, network infrastructure and wireless networks, within a scope agreed in writing. Scenarios draw on the OWASP Top 10 and published CVEs.
Servers, network equipment and IoT devices are scanned for known flaws, ranked by CVSS score, with guidance on which patches to apply first and their likely impact.
We examine the attack surface of smart devices, PLCs, SCADA systems and industrial networks: outdated firmware, unencrypted protocols and the separation between office and production networks.
Checks for SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, weak authentication and misconfiguration, with optional source-code and security architecture review.
Access control, encryption and logging are reviewed on the systems that hold personal data. For a full compliance programme, see data protection compliance.
Phishing simulations, real social-engineering examples and a clear incident-reporting procedure, plus technical security training for the IT team.
Target systems, testing windows and limits are set out in writing, and a confidentiality and authorisation agreement is signed.
Systems visible from outside and inside, open ports and known vulnerabilities are identified.
We confirm whether findings can really be exploited, under controlled conditions and without disrupting service.
Findings are reported in order of severity, each with a fix and a priority. A retest after remediation is available on request.
A common risk in manufacturing sites works like this: malware that reaches an accounts PC through a phishing email can travel all the way to the PLCs and the SCADA server if the office and production networks are not separated. During the assessment we check, under controlled conditions, whether that path is actually open on your site, and report which step to take first on network segmentation, access rules and default passwords. That way your security budget goes on the work that closes the most risk. You can book an OT security assessment for your site.
Our own software and IoT systems follow secure development practice: parameterised queries, OWASP-based checks and secure authentication are standard. For example, Smart360 uses human verification on its sign-in screens and stores mailbox passwords encrypted with AES-256-GCM, while SmartMail assesses every incoming email for identity (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), structure (lookalike domains, display-name impersonation, link mismatches) and content, and explains its reasoning. If you want to reduce phishing risk on the email side, you can buy SmartMail online through Smart360.

Let's agree the scope together: we discuss which systems will be tested, when and within what limits, then prepare a written proposal setting out scope, phases and cost. If you are planning to move servers or applications to the cloud, we can combine the security assessment with our cloud migration and infrastructure consultancy.
A penetration test is an authorised, controlled attack on your systems from an attacker's point of view. The scope, time window and limits are agreed in writing beforehand. Web applications, APIs, network infrastructure and wireless networks are tested with scenarios based on the OWASP Top 10 and known CVEs, so weaknesses are found before a real attacker finds them.
A vulnerability scan looks for known weaknesses on servers, network devices and IoT devices and ranks them by CVSS score. A penetration test goes further and verifies, under controlled conditions and without disrupting service, whether those weaknesses can actually be exploited. Together they produce a prioritised fix list showing which patch to apply first.
In four steps: the systems and limits are agreed in writing and a confidentiality and authorisation agreement is signed; externally and internally visible systems, open ports and known vulnerabilities are identified; exploitability is verified in a controlled way; and findings are reported by severity, each with a fix and priority.
Yes. An IoT and OT security review examines the attack surface of smart devices, PLCs, SCADA systems and industrial networks: outdated firmware, unencrypted protocols and the separation between office and production networks. Because Digital Bridge builds its own IoT devices and industrial software, we understand operational technology, not just office IT.
Yes. Awareness training covers phishing simulations, social engineering examples and the incident reporting procedure, with separate technical security training for IT teams. A device left on its default password or one clicked fake link can undo technical safeguards, so the people side is part of the assessment.
The cost of a penetration test depends mainly on scope: how many web applications, APIs, servers and network devices are tested, whether the test is run from outside or inside the network, whether authenticated user scenarios are included, and whether OT systems such as factory networks are in scope. That is why we agree the scope with you first and then send a written proposal with phases and cost.
The widely accepted practice is to run a penetration test at least once a year and after every significant change: launching a new web application or portal, moving servers to the cloud, opening remote access or connecting office and production networks. Regular vulnerability scanning in between helps you catch newly published weaknesses without waiting for the next full test.
