What's the catch?

There isn't one.

If Security Aid accepts your organisation for a free engagement, you do not need to subscribe afterwards.

Request Free Support

We do not withhold useful recommendations. We do not turn a free advisory review into a product sales pitch.

The limitation is simply Capacity.

Requests are reviewed against organisational need, security risk, available capacity, potential impact and urgency.

Paid members pay for guaranteed capacity and ongoing services, not access to findings that should have been included in free work.

Who we help

Who do we prioritise?

Applications are assessed individually so Security Aid can direct limited capacity where it can have meaningful impact.

Charities

Organisations delivering public and social benefit.

Non-profits

Mission-led organisations working with limited budgets.

Community organisations

Local groups supporting people and communities.

Small businesses

Businesses without enterprise security resources.

Significant cyber risk

Organisations facing an active or material concern.

Based in Northamptonshire. Supporting organisations across the UK.

How the model works

Protect. Sustain. Support.

Commercial activity exists to create dependable capacity and expand the free programme.

What useful reporting looks like

Clear gaps. Practical decisions.

Security advisory should leave an organisation understanding what is missing, why it matters and what to improve first.

  • Evidence-led gap analysis
  • Clear operational impact
  • Risk-based remediation priorities
  • Proportionate target-state recommendations
Example advisory finding High

Privileged identity activity is not monitored across Entra ID

Impact
Suspicious role assignments, privileged sign-ins and administrative changes may not be identified or investigated promptly.
Recommendation
Ingest the relevant identity and audit logs, define priority detection use cases and assign clear triage and escalation ownership.
Example only. This is not a finding from a real organisation.
Transparent by design

Our impact

Security Aid intends to publish transparent statistics as the programme grows. No invented numbers and no inflated claims.
