Do you know how exposed your business is?
OkamiSec runs a free Cyber Essentials self-assessment that scores your business across 5 security controls and shows you exactly what to fix — with a downloadable gap report.
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses — most don't find out until it's too late.
We also build secure websites for SMEs — built right, from the start. See Secure Website Build →
The Reality
Small businesses are a real target — and most aren't prepared.
Most small businesses don't know where their risks are
Without a dedicated IT or security person, it's easy to miss the basics — outdated software, weak passwords, or a website with no HTTPS. These are exactly what attackers look for.
GDPR and compliance feel overwhelming
Knowing what you're legally required to do with customer data — and how to prove it — is confusing. Most businesses need practical guidance, not a 200-page policy document.
The cost of getting it wrong is real
A phishing email, a hacked website, or a GDPR complaint can cause serious disruption. Prevention is almost always cheaper and simpler than recovery.
Services
Practical security services,
priced for the real world.
No retainers forced on you, no minimum spend. Start with whatever is most useful — every service is available individually.
Website Security Review
We check your website for common vulnerabilities — exposed admin panels, outdated plugins, missing HTTPS, and misconfigurations that attackers routinely exploit.
Security Posture Assessment
A structured look at how your business handles security across devices, accounts, email, and day-to-day processes. You get a clear picture of where you stand.
Basic Vulnerability Scan
Using industry-standard tools, we identify known weaknesses in your public-facing systems and explain what each one means in plain language.
GDPR & Security Hygiene
We help you understand your GDPR obligations and build simple, practical security habits your team can actually follow — without drowning in documentation.
Awareness & Training
A short, practical session for your team on recognising phishing emails, safe password practices, and avoiding the most common mistakes that lead to incidents.
Risk Report & Recommendations
Every engagement ends with a clear written report: what we found, what risk it poses, and a prioritised list of practical steps you can act on straight away.
Secure Website Build
We design and build your website with security built in from day one — not bolted on after. Every site we deliver is reviewed against OWASP standards, hardened against common attacks, and handed over with a security report included.
Built in, not bolted on
- Reviewed against OWASP standards
- Hardened against common attacks
- Security report on handover
- HTTPS, headers & best practice by default

hello@okamisec.devWhy OkamiSec
Security guidance that works for you — not against your budget.
Most security services are built for large organisations with dedicated teams. OkamiSec is built for the businesses that don't have that luxury — and don't need it.
Plain English — no acronyms, no jargon
We explain what we find in language that makes sense to you, not a security team. You shouldn't need a degree to understand your own risks.
Reports you can actually act on
Every report is prioritised and specific. We tell you what to fix first, why it matters, and how to do it — not just that something exists.
UK-based, UK-focused
We understand the UK regulatory landscape — GDPR, Cyber Essentials, NCSC guidance — and we apply it to your actual situation, not a template.
We build security in, not bolt it on
Most web agencies build first and think about security later — if at all. We do it the other way around: every site we build is hardened, reviewed against OWASP standards, and handed over with a security report.
No pressure, no long-term contracts
Start with a single service and see if it's useful. We're a small operation and we'd rather earn your trust than lock you in to anything.
How It Works
Simple, straightforward, no surprises.

We assess your setup
Depending on what you need, we review your website, systems, or internal security practices using industry-standard tools and frameworks tailored to your size and sector.
You get a clear action plan
You receive a plain-English report with a prioritised list of findings and practical recommendations — things you can actually do, with or without technical expertise.
About
A student-founded startup
with a straightforward aim.
OkamiSec was started by a cybersecurity student at UWTSD with a simple observation: small businesses are targeted just as often as large ones, but can't access the same level of security support. This is an attempt to change that — practical, affordable, and honest security guidance for the businesses that need it most.
Security Insights
Plain-English security advice
for UK businesses.
Why your web developer isn't thinking about security (and why that matters)
Most web developers are paid to make a site look good and launch on time — not to keep it secure. For UK small businesses, that gap is exactly where breaches, data leaks, and GDPR headaches begin.
What is Cyber Essentials and does your UK business need it?
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed certification most businesses have heard of but few fully understand. Here's what it covers, who needs it, and whether it's right for you.
5 signs your small business has a security problem
Most small business owners assume a breach is something that happens to bigger companies. Here are five warning signs that suggest your business is more exposed than you think.
