Consulting by What Else Labs

Cyber security expertise, on demand for growing businesses.

Most growing businesses can't justify a full-time security leader, so the important calls get rushed — or missed. We give you that expertise when you need it: clear, independent advice on what matters, what to fix first, and why. Blueprint_, our own platform, is the tool we work with — what you take away is a plan your team can act on.

Services

Four ways we make running your business easier.

The things growing businesses most often miss or skip.

S-01

Risk Assessment

A clear view of where your cyber risk actually sits, and what to address first — run on our Blueprint_ platform.

  • Threat & exposure review
  • Control gap analysis
  • Risk rating & prioritisation
  • Board-ready findings
S-02

Policy & Compliance Review

See where your policies and controls fall short of what your customers, insurers, and regulators expect — and how to close the gaps.

  • Policy & framework review
  • Standards & framework gap analysis
  • Control mapping & evidence
  • Remediation roadmap
S-03

CISO Advisory

Your virtual CISO when you don't have one — or a second pair of hands for the CISO you do, when they're stretched too thin.

  • Virtual CISO (vCISO)
  • Hands-on support for your CISO
  • Security strategy & roadmap
  • Board & stakeholder reporting
S-04

Incident Response Readiness

A clear plan for how your business responds when an incident occurs — ready before you need it.

  • Response plan & playbooks
  • Roles, contacts & escalation
  • Tabletop exercises
  • Post-incident review guidance
Our approach

Assess, prioritise, plan.

We take on a limited number of clients at a time, so the person advising you stays close to your business. Engagements are scoped tightly and move through three phases.

PHASE 01

Assess

We evaluate your current security posture against the threats and obligations that apply to your business, and establish a clear baseline of where you stand.

PHASE 02

Prioritise

We prioritise the findings by risk and effort, so investment is directed first at the areas that reduce the most exposure.

PHASE 03

Solutions planning

We set out a sequenced roadmap your team or providers can act on — what to do, in what order, and why.
