Practical, proportionate advice for East Midlands businesses, charities, and regulated organisations. No jargon, no theatre. You deal directly with the founder — every time.
No enterprise overhead, no one-size-fits-all framework. Senior-level security thinking proportionate to your size, budget, and actual risk.
You've grown past basic IT support but aren't ready for a full security team. bigredbox fills that gap — without the enterprise overhead.
Sensitive beneficiary data, limited resources, genuine targets. Budget-conscious security that doesn't compromise on quality.
Finance, healthcare, education, legal — sectors where data protection is non-negotiable. Clear, proportionate guidance through the regulatory landscape.
Understand your risk clearly and brief your board with confidence — plain English, no scare tactics, no oversized slide decks.
Understand what you're actually exposed to — not a generic checklist. We assess your people, processes, and technology to identify real risk, then deliver a prioritised action plan you can work through at your own pace.
Find the weaknesses before attackers do. Targeted penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on your systems, applications, and infrastructure — with clear remediation guidance, not just a list of findings.
Data protection compliance that's practical rather than paralysing. From gap analysis to full DPA review, we help you understand your obligations and build a defensible compliance posture — without the legal jargon.
When something goes wrong, you need help fast — not a ticket queue. Immediate incident response support to contain, investigate, and recover from security incidents, then help you understand what happened and why.
Senior security leadership on a fractional basis. Whether you need a security strategy, board-level reporting, or an experienced voice in key decisions — without the cost of a full-time CISO.
No lengthy onboarding, no handoff to junior staff. You call, we listen, we deliver.
A free conversation about where you are, what concerns you, and what you're trying to achieve. No sales pitch, no upsell — just an honest assessment of where you stand.
A clear scope and a fixed price, proportionate to your organisation. You know exactly what you're getting before we start — no ballooning day rates.
Findings you can act on, priorities you can sequence, plain English throughout. We're available after delivery — we don't disappear when the report lands.
bigredbox is based in Leicester and works with organisations across the East Midlands — Nottingham, Derby, Northampton, Coventry, and everywhere in between.
