CISO expertise + an operating platform

Security management that does not disappear into spreadsheets.

A Lucreds consultant provides senior judgement and direction. Defensiq provides the structure needed to keep risks, controls, evidence, actions and reporting current between consulting meetings.

01

Priorities stay visibleManagement can see material risks, decisions and the next actions in one operating view.

02

Ownership becomes clearControls and corrective actions are linked to accountable owners and deadlines.

03

Evidence stays connectedRequirements, controls, evidence and findings remain traceable for audits and assurance.

Automated security testing

Understand the weakness. Validate the attack. Prioritise the real risk.

Connect deep technical analysis with evidence from the running application to find weaknesses that scanners and isolated tests often miss.

Before executing the attack

Deep source, architecture and API analysis

Analyse how the application is designed to identify hidden assumptions, trust failures and attack-path combinations before they are tested in the live environment.

ISMS and ISO 27001 implementation

Build a management system people can actually use.

Implementation support led by an ISO Senior Lead Implementer certified consultant, connecting the standard to real assets, services, risks and owners.

01
FoundationContext & scope

Define organisational context, stakeholders, boundaries and the services the ISMS must protect.

02
Current stateGap assessment

Identify what already works, what is missing and where effort will create the most value.

03
DecisionsRisk & controls

Establish a practical risk method, select controls and document why they are appropriate.

04
OperationImplementation

Assign owners, implement processes and collect evidence that controls operate in practice.

05
AssuranceReadiness & improvement

Prepare for internal review, resolve gaps and establish continual improvement before certification.

Certification-ready, not documentation-heavy.

Lucreds supports implementation and readiness. Certification itself is performed by an independent accredited certification body.

Plan your ISMS

How Lucreds works

From uncertainty to an owned, verifiable security programme.

01

Understand

Start with the business, its technology, obligations, operating model and risk environment.

02

Prioritise

Identify the issues that could create the greatest operational, financial or regulatory impact.

03

Implement

Translate decisions into proportionate controls, accountable owners and achievable actions.

04

Validate

Test whether controls and corrective actions work under credible, real-world conditions.

05

Improve

Maintain visibility over remaining risk, evidence and the next decisions that matter.

Built for organisations that need clarity

Senior judgement where security, technology and compliance meet.

Lucreds is suited to organisations that need meaningful security progress but do not want another layer of complexity. Engagements are shaped around the decisions you need to make and the evidence required to support them.

Common questions

Start with the outcome, not a fixed package.

Engagements are scoped around your maturity, system, risk and timeline. These answers explain the usual starting points.

How does CISO as a Service differ from ordinary consulting?

The service is ongoing and operational. The consultant helps make and challenge security decisions while Defensiq keeps risks, controls, evidence, remediation and reporting structured between meetings.

Is automated security testing just another vulnerability scan?

No. It combines specially designed AI-driven analysis with security expertise to assess source code, architecture, APIs, business logic and runtime behaviour with greater precision. The objective is to identify and validate credible attack paths, reduce false positives and produce clear, evidence-based remediation priorities.

Can Lucreds support an existing security or development team?

Yes. Lucreds can provide independent leadership, specialist analysis or implementation support while your internal owners retain day-to-day responsibility.

Do you provide ISO 27001 certification?

Lucreds helps design and implement the ISMS and prepare for certification. The certification audit must be performed independently by an accredited certification body.

At what stage should an AI initiative be reviewed?

Ideally before architecture and supplier decisions are fixed. Lucreds can also review existing experiments or deployed solutions and define a proportionate remediation and governance roadmap.
