Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

From risk assessment to rapid response - we’re with you every step of the way.

Can Cythera offer one-off advisory sessions?

Yes. We offer both ongoing engagements and one-off services like strategic reviews, roadmap workshops, or incident readiness assessments based on your needs.

What industries does Cythera specialise in?

We have extensive experience supporting clients in critical sectors, such as finance, healthcare, utilities, government, and energy - but our security methodologies and risk frameworks are relevant across all modern industries.

What size or type of organisation does Cythera work with?

Cythera's advisory services are designed for mid-sized businesses, government organisations, and high-risk sectors that require strong cybersecurity governance, strategic oversight, and executive-level risk reporting.

What's included in a strategic security advisory session?

We give you a clear picture of where your organisation stands today along with your top risks and most urgent actions. Our team helps bring stakeholders on the same page and provides the guidance needed to lift your security posture with confidence.

Why bring in a cyber advisor rather than doing it all in-house?

Even the most capable internal teams benefit from external insights. Our consultants bring specialist knowledge and fresh perspective from years on the front line - supporting better, more informed decision-making.
