Government and cyber assurance
GOV Assured is a consultancy for cyber assurance, governance, resilience, and security architecture. The tools on this site are the platforms used for that work.
The work follows the tools: assessment, governance of design and change, continuity planning, architecture references, and practice.
Self-assessment against the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework v4.0. Readiness questions across the five Cyber Essentials control areas. Secure by Design statements of applicability, API controls mapped to classification tiers, penetration-test scope and rules of engagement, and a prioritised view of defence gaps for a selected threat group.
Submissions for the Solution Architecture Board, Technical Design Authority, Architecture Review Board, and Change Advisory Board, with a RAG status and a document export. Control choices can be recorded against the data, stakeholders, technologies, and laws in scope.
Guided business continuity plans for UK small and medium businesses, with narrative drafting, a return link, and a Word download, aligned to the Cabinet Office BCP Toolkit, NCSC, and BS 65000. A separate hub reports UK cyber threats and ransomware.
Reference material for enterprise security architecture, an OSI model with the controls at each layer, a Secure Access Service Edge view, a DevSecOps pipeline model, and a Splunk operating model. A taxonomy classifies attacks that target people, and a dashboard shows recent cybersecurity reporting.
An exam-style quiz on AI safety, security, governance, and ethics. Crosswords with cyber security and AI security sets. A cooperative incident-response tabletop, and a short piece on social engineering.
Platforms used for the services above. Each one opens on a govassured.com address.
