Testimonials

I am pleased to share my experience with the Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) Scheme. This certification has been invaluable to Case Pilots in helping us protect ourselves from cyber threats. The comprehensive and user-friendly process provided by URM Consulting gave me a deep understanding of the latest threats, vulnerabilities and best practices in cyber security. The assessors were highly knowledgeable, experienced and able to explain each step of the process clearly and concisely. What I particularly appreciated about the CE+ scheme was its relevance to the real world. The training covered not only the fundamental principles, but also advanced techniques and strategies that are used by professionals to protect their systems and data. Achieving the certification demonstrates to our clients that we are committed to cyber security and that we have the knowledge and skills to protect their data. I highly recommend the Cyber Essentials Plus Scheme to any organisation that is serious about cyber security.

The level of detail and how that information was put across clearly by our instructor in multiple session was above what I was expecting, the way he was able to utilise his industry experience to give real world examples also helped further my understanding of the topics raised above that that I expected.

The experience of the trainer cannot be bought, he shared a lot of practical scenarios which happens on everyday activity at work. Thanks you’re a STAR.

The trainer added colour to a dry topic with his experiences.

I've read up on encryption in the past and how it is used in data transfers but never quite understood it. The way in which the tutor built it up and explained it was the best I’ve seen so far and finally helped it ‘click’ for me.

I thought the trainer was extremely knowledgeable and was very clear in his explanations and made the course very interesting.

There is a lot of content that has to be covered and having the morning to be taught and the afternoon to digest worked really well for me.

Excellent presenter, easy to listen to and understand, providing useful examples as part of the delivery.

I think the course length for a remote training event is about right - the last two days are lighter, which I think is appreciated. Plenty of opportunity for discussion around the topics.

All the sessions where robust in coverage, full of practical hands on examples and made the subject matter easy to digest.

I found the sessions very easy to follow and informative - not complex and easy to understand, even though I have limited technical knowledge. Session 2 on Risk was very in-depth and fully explained all the steps in regard to risk, what it means and why it is important. The tutor was very friendly and helpful, and very engaging!

I Have been very impressed with the delivery of both the ISO 42001 webinar and last weeks 27001 and will certainly keep URM in mind with regard to any services in the future.

Cyber security has never been higher on our agenda. We’re very pleased to have gained our Cyber Essentials Plus Certification. We are committed to providing the most secure and robust solutions to our customers and partners. This certification helps to demonstrate this commitment – through independent vulnerability testing and to test the awareness of information security across our teams. We’re very pleased with the support and expertise provided by URM.

We are delighted to partner with URM Consulting on a wide range of information and cyber security projects and service solutions. Working with URM Consulting has proved to be extremely successful, with them consulting / advising clients and then utilising our SMART Services. These are specifically aimed at supporting organisations to achieve Detection, Compliance & Response (DCR) to support Digital Transformation outcomes. In addition, we have achieved Cyber Essentials certification with URM and are now partnering on ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus projects. We have been impressed by the breadth of URM’s governance, risk, compliance and technical expertise along with their holistic, pragmatic and tailored advice.

We have been a partner with URM Consulting for many years. They offer a great service and are a team of real experts in all things cyber security.

URM were super helpful and knowledgeable, talking and walking me through each one of the tests and providing some useful information on security and how to improve things in the future.

I was very impressed with how the process went on testing day and I can’t wait to take other clients through the process with URM.

Having never gone through the Cyber Essentials Plus process on behalf of a client I was very impressed with how the process went on testing day and I cant wait to take other clients through the process with URM.

This was a great exercise for the business to go through as some gaps were found and URM provided valuable information on remediation.

Thank you for an excellent webinar!

The trainer was great, came across as energetic and positive (which helps, especially when undertaking an online learning course). The content was great and provided real life examples which was useful as it helped to apply the learning.

Enjoyed the redacting exercise at the end, which was interesting to see how people would redact the information differently I found this really useful to apply to SARs I might receive going forward, and that it's down to interpretation.

I am very pleased. The course is brilliantly designed (especially for someone like me with little technical knowledge) and was very well delivered.

The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and explained things very well, particularly the more technical stuff which can be hard to keep up with when it's brand new to you.

I enjoyed the course and thought the trainer was great!

When the trainer and attendees shared their experiences, it gave me a better understanding and I was able to apply this topic through the element of storytelling.

Two-way interaction really developed the course material.

Plenty of opportunity to interact and all the questions asked were answered with details and examples which made it easier to process.

In these different times I was expecting a hard press course timetable but it really worked well. The exercises at the end of each day hit the mark.

Great facilitator - helpful examples provided and an engaging presenter.

Would thoroughly recommend URM.

The trainer led group discussions really well and enabled collaboration.

The trainer provided so many real-life scenarios and gave in-depth and detailed guidance on real-life situations. I found it extremely refreshing.

A brilliant course that I thoroughly enjoyed.

We cannot thank URM enough for their help in ensuring our business is GDPR compliant. Both the gap analysis conducted and the in-depth assistance with the ROPA were made much easier and understandable with URM’s help. I would like to give particular thanks to URM's Consultant for providing us with the best guidance and making a famously complex topic comprehensive, and to our Account Manager for helping make sure all our needs were covered.

URM consulting were fantastic to work with. Their expert support and friendly efficiency made achieving our Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation smooth and stress-free. It's reassuring to know that we have a reliable local consultancy that we can count on for ongoing support.

During our Cyber Essentials accreditation process we found URM to be very helpful and engaging ensuring that we can demonstrate our commitment to cyber security for both our partners and customers. We would recommend URM to other organisations that seek Cyber Essentials accreditation.

Moving from our existing Pen Testers after 10 years was a difficult decision but I am really glad we did. It's been a pleasure working with you. The Pen Testing was extremely thorough and as hoped you were open to a collaborative deeper delve, far beyond what we were required to do for PCI DSS, which has been very useful.

URM's diligence during these audits has resulted in the business as a whole pulling together to collectively ensure that we up to par with the requirements. While our working relationship with URM’s consultant is fantastic, we are held to account for every bullet point of every requirement on every audit, which is precisely what we expect. The consultant’s efforts in ensuring that our PCI compliance is audited correctly is highly appreciated, as it gives the company an accreditation that we can be proud of and that we can show off to existing and prospective customers as proof of our security posture. A huge thank you to URM for providing such a valuable service.

We used URM as we had a large amount of information to redact for a Court of Protection case and neither had the time nor the knowledge to be able to complete this appropriately. URM were suggested to us and we made contact. They responded very quickly and were able to explain their role, estimated timescales & costings. During the initial consultation, they were very professional and approachable, and certainly had the skills we required. URM’s consultant provided us with details of the work they had completed before & we felt confident to pursue the work with them. We were on a tight deadline for court and URM were confident that they could provide the services we required in a timely manner. The logistics of sending a large amount of confidential documents were easy to navigate and straightforward. We were unable to very accurately gauge how much work was required, however URM’s Team supported us with this and maintained regular contact regarding their progress and addressed any concerns they had. When we needed to contact them, they were prompt with their responses. The work did take longer that envisaged, however that was due to the amount of work that we, as clients, were unable to accurately identify would be required. We did, however, meet the deadline for court. I would certainly use the services of URM again & if possible would work with same team. The services are not cheap, however redacting sensitive information is a skilled task and, therefore, having a professional complete this work is priceless.

It was really interesting and well delivered, thank you.

Thank you that was great! We've already started work on review the controls - hadn't picked up on the change to risk management approach that this will drive so thank you for highlighting that!

This was really helpful. Lots of information and insight. Thank you!

Great webinar with lots of information. All easy to understand.

Thank you for a very informative overview of the components in the revised Standard.

Thank you for a very informative and useful presentation on the updates to ISO27001 and ISO27002.

Thought the level of content and presentation was excellent and very informative and the information was useful - one of the best webinars I've attended.

Very concise webinar giving some interesting thoughts on transition etc. and guidance on preparation for transition.

Very Enjoyable and Informative. Thank you!

Informative webinar. Thank you!
