About the scheme
The NCSC Cyber Advisor scheme connects small and medium-sized UK organisations with vetted, qualified cyber professionals who can provide initial guidance at no cost. The scheme is part of the NCSC's broader effort to improve baseline cyber resilience across the UK economy.
Cyber Advisors are assessed against NCSC criteria and must hold relevant qualifications and demonstrable experience. Qivana holds Cyber Advisor status and our advisors work with UK SMBs across a range of sectors including professional services, charity, healthcare, retail, and technology.
The free consultation is offered as part of scheme participation. There is no referral fee or obligation attached. Our aim is to give you clarity, not to sell you something you don't need.

You can verify Cyber Advisor status directly on the NCSC website. Qivana is listed as an assured Cyber Advisor organisation.
