Who we are
This site is published by CyPro Consulting Ltd, a UK cyber security consultancy. We wrote it because many UK organisations have asked what the NCSC's November 2026 warning means for them, and the answer is spread across several pages and news reports.
Accuracy
How it is kept right
Every fact on the site links to its source, and the sources are listed on the sources page. We favour the NCSC's own publications and use news reporting only where it is the only place something is stated. Where we could not check a figure against the NCSC document itself, we say so.
The date at the top of each page shows when we last reviewed it. We check the site again when the story moves, for example when the NCSC publishes further guidance.

Need a hand getting ready?
Reading the rules is one job. Mapping them to your organisation, closing the gaps and showing the evidence are several more. CyPro's consultants can take any of them off your plate.
Fractional CISO for the board
A senior security lead who advises the board on what to fix first, what to accept and what to tell customers, and owns the decision record.

Penetration testing
A focused test of your systems and the controls around them, so you know they hold before an attacker finds out for you.

Hardening and segmentation
Our consultants put the controls in place that limit the damage when something is missed: firewall rules, network isolation and tighter admin access.

24/7 security monitoring
Our SOC analysts watch your systems day and night for the signs of an attack in progress: unexpected processes, new outbound connections, logins that do not fit.

Incident response
If you may already be compromised, our responders contain it, preserve the evidence, find out what was touched and get you running again safely.
