Security leadership your board can trust. Technology your business can grow on.
BetaSec gives small and medium businesses access to certified, board-level security and technology expertise — vCISO services, audit readiness, AI adaptation and transformation — without the cost of a full-time hire.
One team. Every layer of your security and technology.
From the boardroom to the server room, our team covers strategy, assurance and delivery — so you deal with one trusted partner, not five vendors.
Board & security advisory
Plain-English security counsel for directors: risk appetite, governance, budgets and board reporting that stands up to investor and regulator scrutiny.
vCISO · Fractional CISO · Interim Head of Security
A named, certified security leader embedded in your business — part-time, fractional or interim cover — owning strategy, policy, supplier risk and incident readiness end to end.
Security consultancy
Targeted expertise when you need it: architecture reviews, risk assessments, policy frameworks, supplier due diligence and remediation planning.
Audit readiness
Cyber Essentials and CE+, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, ISO 42001 AI certification and SOC 2 audit preparation — from gap analysis to full end-to-end certification journeys, and more.
Self-assessment & assurance
Independent health checks, gap analyses and maturity assessments that show you exactly where you stand — and a prioritised plan to improve.
IT & technology services
Pragmatic IT strategy, Microsoft 365 and cloud optimisation, hardening and vendor management — technology that serves the business, securely.
AI adaptation & governance
Adopt AI safely and productively: use-case discovery, acceptable-use policy, data protection, Copilot readiness and staff enablement.
Bespoke support
No two SMEs are alike. We shape retained or on-demand support around your sector, your risks and your budget — from ad-hoc advice to embedded delivery.
Transformation
Security-led digital transformation: modernise processes, platforms and ways of working with risk managed from day one, not bolted on at the end.
Migration
Cloud, tenant and infrastructure migrations planned and executed safely — Microsoft 365, Azure and hybrid estates moved without drama or downtime.
A clear path from uncertainty to assurance
Every engagement follows the same disciplined arc — so you always know what happens next and what you are paying for.

Trusted by owners, boards and IT leads
BetaSec took us from a failed client security questionnaire to Cyber Essentials Plus in under three months. The board finally understands our risk position.
Having a certified vCISO two days a month transformed how we make technology decisions. It is like having a CISO on the board without the salary.
They guided our AI adoption with a clear policy and staff training, so we got the productivity gains without the data-protection headaches.
A senior security team in your corner
BetaSec is the information security, IT and technology consultancy of Rise Control Ltd. We exist for one reason: small and medium businesses face enterprise-grade threats and compliance demands, but rarely have access to enterprise-grade expertise. We close that gap for public and private sector organisations alike — and we also support multinational businesses.
Our team is fully trained and qualified, holding globally recognised CISSP, CISA and Microsoft certifications, with deep experience advising boards, leading audits and delivering transformation. We guide clients through Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, ISO 42001 AI certification and SOC 2 audit preparation — or full end-to-end certification journeys, and more.
We work as an extension of your business, not a vendor at arm's length. Advice is independent, plain-English and proportionate: we will never recommend a control, certification or tool you do not genuinely need.
