About the program
Set your compliance foundations properly, from day one.
A four-week, expert-led program so everything you build from here is solid, contextualised and reflects how your business actually operates.
Vanta is the gym. We’re your personal trainer. The equipment is powerful, but expert guidance is what turns it into real results.
Judgement, not just setup
We bring context your platform cannot: adapting controls to how your business actually works.
Prevention over remediation
Getting it right from the start is significantly faster than fixing problems later.
Your team, stronger
You do the work with our guidance, so the capability stays in your business when we step back.
How it works
Four weeks. Expert-led. Built around your business.
- 1
Week 1
Foundation
We define your scope, connect your environment and establish a baseline. Properly.

Week 2
Governance
We build the roles, policies and decision structures that make everything else work.

Week 3
Prescribed focus
Based on your risk profile, we go deep on the area that matters most for your business. We prescribe, you do not have to guess.

Week 4
Readiness review
Attack surface review, compliance readiness assessment and your certification roadmap.
One structured session a week, 30 to 60 minutes, with focused follow-up actions in between. We tell you exactly who we need from your side and when.
What you get
Three deliverables. Every engagement.
Regardless of what you decide to do next, week four closes with practical outputs that are yours to keep.
Attack Surface Review
A technical snapshot of your external exposure: where you are visible, where you are vulnerable, and what needs attention first.
Compliance Readiness Assessment
An honest, structured evaluation of where you stand against your target framework. Not a pass or fail, a clear map of what is solid and what needs work.
Certification Roadmap
A prioritised plan telling you exactly what to do next, in what order, and what effort it realistically requires. Whether you continue with us or not.
Is it right for you?
Built for businesses that want to do compliance properly.
A good fit if
- Your audit is at least 10 to 12 weeks away, or you have no fixed date yet
- You are early in your Vanta setup
- Leadership can commit 2 to 4 hours a week
- You want to build internal capability, not outsource the problem
Not the right fit if
- Your audit is inside 10 to 12 weeks. Four weeks of foundations would leave no room for the rest
- You need the work done without your team being involved
- You want a certificate as fast as possible, regardless of what sits behind it
- You want an internal audit. That is a separate Cyber Ally service
If your audit is close, talk to us about a focused paid engagement designed for exactly that situation. engage@cyberally.com

Common questions
A few questions we get asked.
We are just getting started. Is now the right time?
It is the best time. Decisions made in the first few weeks have a disproportionate impact on everything that follows.
Do we need Vanta set up already?
No. We can start from scratch alongside you, or pick up wherever you are.
How much of our time does it take?
Around 2 to 4 hours a week: one structured session of 30 to 60 minutes and focused follow-up actions in between.
Who needs to be involved from our side?
Usually a mix of leadership, IT or engineering, and operations. We tell you exactly who we need and when.
Our audit is in six weeks. Can we still do this?
The Cyber Gym needs at least 10 to 12 weeks before your audit to be effective. Ask us about a focused paid engagement designed for exactly that situation instead.
What does it cost?
Nothing. The Cyber Gym is included when you purchase your Vanta licence through Cyber Ally.
