H2 Cyber Risk Advisory Services

Managing Director

Independent Contractor

H2 Information Risk Management Consultants

Risk Management is an activity which integrates recognition of risk, risk assessment and the development of strategies to manage and mitigate those risks.
Having recognised a gap in the market suggesting that many medium size businesses are badly served by the security industry in regard to risk management, with the major consultancies focused on providing services to the larger organisations and corporations, H2 was set up to fill that gap.
H2 therefore offers services which are scaled to serve the needs of the medium size business in order to assist them to identify and mitigate those risks which have the potential to damage that business.
H2 is a consultancy partner for the delivery of STREAM, the market leading risk management software provided by Acuity.  Check us out at www.hah2.co.uk.

Symantec-Liric Ltd

Practice Manager, Operational Security Services

H2 Cyber Security Services came into being over a coffee in a hotel in Stamford, when myself and my business partner were discussing the fast changing cyber security landscape. 

While the enterprise market took measures, small and medium sized businesses were, we felt, badly served by the cyber security industry and often left unknowingly exposed to the fast-evolving dangers of cyber attacks and data breaches and their accompanying financial and reputational implications. 

After leaving the military I took up a 30-year IT career, after all I had to feed my family.  During that time I’ve been called in to work on projects for the Passport Office, FCO, MOD and fortune 500 companies, amongst many others. 

In setting up H2 we took the decision to focus on the midmarket, providing them with the same level of service given to the enterprise market, ensuring that they are equipped to handle and stay protected from the increasing changes in working practices following COVID and the 'new normal', and the fast-developing threat landscape in the cyber world.

I’m proud to say we have helped over 50 businesses achieve the following: 

* Understand their Cyber maturity and the risks they face
* Remain safe and protected from data breaches 
* Providing the same level of protection when working remotely, as they have in the office
* Providing advice and guidance to C Level personnel in the business
* Providing innovation and adopting new technologies as they emerge in this changing world
* Championing and providing cyber security awareness training at all levels in the business
* And above all, educating owners, directors and managers, that cyber security is a business issue, not a technical issue and that it needs C Level attention to succeed
