Edinburgh’s financial services, legal, and healthcare firms hold some of the most valuable data in Scotland – and attackers know it. Police Scotland recorded 14,120 cyber crimes in 2024 – 25, an 83% increase over five years. Our information security services help Edinburgh businesses identify where they’re exposed, close the gaps, and meet the regulatory standards their sector demands.
We deliver information security services across six core areas. Each engagement starts with understanding your business, your data, and the regulatory framework you operate within – whether that’s FCA, SRA, NHS DSPT, or UK GDPR.
We assess your current security posture against established frameworks including the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and ISO 27001 controls. The output is a prioritised risk register with practical recommendations – not a 200-page document that sits on a shelf. Most Edinburgh SMEs complete their first assessment in 2 – 3 days.
Virtually Pro is Cyber Essentials certified. We guide Edinburgh businesses through both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification, from initial gap analysis through to successful assessment. Only 3% of UK businesses hold this certification (DSIT, 2025) – achieving it gives you a genuine competitive advantage in regulated procurement. Eligible Scottish law firms can access a Scottish Enterprise grant of up to £1,000 toward certification costs.
We identify weaknesses in your external and internal infrastructure before attackers do. Our assessments cover network infrastructure, web applications, cloud configurations, and email security. We test against the OWASP Top 10 for web applications and use industry-standard tooling alongside manual verification.
78% of UK businesses have no formal incident response plan (DSIT, 2025). We build practical, tested plans that cover the first 24 hours of a breach, ICO notification within the 72-hour window, and recovery to clean systems. For regulated firms, we ensure plans meet FCA, SRA, or NHS DSPT requirements.
Phishing causes 85% of UK business breaches. We deliver staff training programmes that go beyond tick-box compliance – using simulated phishing campaigns, real-world case studies, and practical exercises. Training is tailored to your industry: legal firms practise identifying conveyancing fraud, financial firms focus on payment redirection attacks.
For businesses that need continuous protection, we provide managed security services including endpoint detection and response (EDR), Microsoft 365 security configuration, and regular security posture reviews. We work with your existing infrastructure rather than requiring wholesale replacement.
Our information security clients are predominantly Edinburgh-based businesses in regulated sectors:
We are Cyber Essentials certified, Edinburgh-based, and have 20+ years of IT security experience across regulated industries. We don’t sell products – we provide practical security guidance that fits your budget, your risk profile, and your regulatory obligations. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute consultation to assess whether we can help.
