Challenge
A conveyancing-heavy law firm needed to demonstrate Cyber Essentials Plus certification to a major lender panel, on a deadline that didn't allow for a slow remediation cycle.

- Application and infrastructure testing run in parallel with the CE+ gap analysis to avoid sequencing delay
- Findings prioritised specifically against the CE+ control requirements, not generic severity alone
- Board summary used directly in the partners' meeting to approve remediation budget same-week
