What others say about us…

We’d always had a family member looking after our IT, and while we trusted them completely, we hadn’t realised how much risk we were quietly carrying. KIS came in and overhauled our entire security setup, got us properly configured with multi-factor authentication, and went through our Microsoft 365 environment to make sure the right people had the right access and licensing. It wasn’t just a technical fix, it was genuine peace of mind. We now know our systems are actually secure, not just looked after by someone who means well.

Jeremy T.Owner, Auto Services

As a financial services firm, protecting client data isn’t optional. We had no formal security management framework in place and knew we needed to get serious. KIS assessed where we stood and mapped out a practical path toward NIST and ISO 27001 compliance, grounded in what was realistic for our size and structure. Their advice was prioritised and clear, and we came away with a credible roadmap and the confidence that we’re taking the right steps in the right order.

Pam K.CIO, Financial Services Firm

We were rolling out AI across the organisation and our internal IT team is great, but this was new territory. We needed someone to close the gaps fast and set us up to manage things ourselves going forward. KIS delivered on all of it. They implemented data loss prevention, a document classification scheme, and Microsoft Purview, and the uplift in our security and compliance posture has been significant. The best part? They didn’t just fix things and leave. We came out of it actually understanding the system and capable of running it ourselves.

Abby S.Compliance Officer, Telecommunications Company

We’re a small non-profit focused on young people, and like many organisations like ours, we were running largely on goodwill and volunteers. We had a website collecting significant personal information and, honestly, we hadn’t fully grasped the risk we were sitting on. KIS conducted a penetration test, walked us through every finding, and worked through remediation of all critical vulnerabilities with our budget in mind the whole time. They treated our mission as if it mattered to them too, and that made all the difference.
