Vendor Due Diligence Readiness

Enterprise clients and procurement teams increasingly demand rigorous security assurance before signing. We prepare your business to meet those expectations β€” documenting your security posture, completing questionnaires, and positioning you to pass third-party reviews with confidence.

AI Governance & AI Security

Building with AI tools, LLMs, or automated workflows? We help you govern and secure them end-to-end. This means establishing data handling policies and risk registers, threat modelling your AI systems, identifying vulnerabilities in how AI interacts with your environment, and putting the controls in place to keep your business and your clients protected.

Vulnerability Management Automation

Manual vulnerability tracking is slow, inconsistent, and easy to deprioritise. We design and implement automated workflows that continuously scan your environment, score findings by risk, and feed your team a clear, prioritised action list β€” so critical issues get fixed before they become incidents.

AI-Powered Security Questionnaire Support

When a client or prospect sends you a security questionnaire, the clock is ticking. Our AI-powered assistant draws on your actual security posture to generate accurate, consistent, and professional responses β€” fast. No more pulling your engineering team off product work to answer the same questions repeatedly.

Security Consulting & Strategy

Not every business needs a full-time CISO β€” but every business needs security leadership. We act as your fractional security advisor, helping you build a roadmap that reflects your risk appetite, satisfies board and investor scrutiny, and scales with your growth.

Esther

Founder & Principal Consultant

With over a decade of experience across IT and cybersecurity β€” spanning financial services, SaaS, retail, tech, and the public sector β€” Esther has done more than advise on security. She has built it. From designing and implementing vulnerability management programmes and security automation pipelines, to constructing security frameworks from the ground up and overhauling processes and systems that weren't fit for purpose β€” she has walked every part of the security lifecycle hands-on. Having also sat on the other side of vendor assessments, scrutinising and challenging the security posture of organisations seeking partnerships, she understands precisely what enterprise buyers look for and where growing businesses fall short. That combination of builder, operator, and evaluator is what makes Lydocore different β€” and what gives her clients the confidence to compete at a higher level.
