The specialist cyber security consultancy has created a purpose-built programme for senior leaders in SMEs who hold responsibility for cyber security but do not have a technical background.
Norwich-based Cyber Security Consultancy, CyberScale, has launched its Executive Cyber Coaching service to help strengthen business leaders knowledge, capabilities and decision making for individuals who may have a limited or rudimentary understanding of cyber risk and security principles but are increasingly expected to make decisions and demonstrate leadership on cyber issues.
As cyber threats continue to rise in frequency and sophistication, the pressure on business leaders to make informed security decisions has never been greater. Yet many executives — from CEOs and managing directors to CFOs and HR leaders — feel unprepared or overwhelmed by technical jargon and vendor complexity.
According to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025, many businesses rely on external cyber security consultants, IT consultants or cyber security providers for information and guidance on matters relating to cyber security. This was most common in small (37%) and medium (43%) organisations which reflects the need for cyber security expertise but without the internal experts to provide the guidance.
Cyberscale’s Executive Cybersecurity Coaching provides a bespoke, one-on-one program that translates complex cybersecurity concepts into clear, business-focused insights. Delivered through weekly coaching sessions, the programme covers key areas such as cyber risk, cloud security, regulatory obligations (including GDPR and NIS2), working with IT providers, and building a security-conscious culture. It also addresses the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the threat landscape — a concern now facing many UK organisations.
Darren Chapman, Founder and Chairman at CyberScale said:
It’s become increasingly apparent to us that the ultimate business responsibility for cyber risk is often assigned to business leaders with little knowledge or background in this important subject.
Leaders need just enough knowledge to be able to understand how attacks might threaten their business, where to look for help and to be able to prioritise investment optimally. They also need to understand the threats, as well as the opportunities of new technologies and take advantage of these whilst managing risk.
This unique programme aims to provide that assurance that responsible business leaders need.
