IT & CYBERSECURITY · COMPLIANCE & RISK
Answer the audit, the questionnaire, and the insurer with evidence.
Cyber6 maps where you stand against the rules that apply to you, fixes the gaps in an order that makes sense for your business, and keeps the proof ready for whoever asks next.
Cyber6 is an AI & technology partner: we automate the work slowing businesses down, protect them with IT & cybersecurity, and train their people.
THE PROBLEM
The questionnaire arrives, and nobody knows the answers.
Your largest customer sends a 200-question security questionnaire. It is due in three weeks, and the contract renewal depends on it. Half the questions use words nobody in the office recognizes.
You answer what you can. For the rest, you make your best guess, knowing that a wrong answer could come back to haunt you if something ever goes wrong.
Next quarter, the insurer sends its own form. Then an auditor asks for proof of training. Each request starts from zero, because nothing from the last one was kept in a way anyone can find.
WHAT IT'S COSTING YOU
Lost or delayed contracts
Customers and government agencies increasingly require proof of security before they sign or renew.
Guesses that become liabilities
Answering yes to a control you don't actually have can void insurance coverage or breach a contract.
Fines and findings
Regulated businesses face penalties when an audit or breach reveals required safeguards were never in place.
Hours of repeated effort
Without a system, every audit and questionnaire costs the same scramble as the first one.
HOW IT WORKS
How compliance works with Cyber6
We start with what is actually required of you, not every framework that exists.
STEP 1
Work out what applies
We identify which rules, contracts, and insurer requirements actually apply to your business and your data.
STEP 2
Measure the gap
We compare what you do today against those requirements and write down every gap in plain language.
STEP 3
Fix in priority order
Gaps are ranked by risk and effort, so the most important and quickest fixes happen first.
STEP 4
Collect the evidence
Policies, screenshots, training records, and settings are gathered and kept in one place, updated as things change.
STEP 5
Review vendors
The vendors who hold your data are reviewed, so their weaknesses don't become yours.
STEP 6
Answer with confidence
When the next audit, questionnaire, or renewal arrives, the answers and proof are already ready.

QUESTIONS
Common questions
It depends on your data, customers, and contracts. We start by working out what actually applies to you, which is often fewer than people expect.
No. We prepare you for it and support you through it. An independent auditor issues the report or certification.
We help you answer it truthfully, using evidence you actually have. We won't mark a control as in place when it isn't.
They own your security plan, report progress to leadership, answer tough questions from customers and auditors, and make decisions on risk.
It depends on the framework and your starting point. The gap assessment gives you a realistic plan with dates.
No. Compliance proves you meet a set of rules. We use it as a structure for real protection, not as paperwork for its own sake.
