About Us

Your Security is our remit

Here at Regola we have a dedicated team, with a wealth of experience here to help you through the entire process of achieving Cyber Essentials. Whether you just want to know some information or need help each step of the way. Regola has you covered.

Our Story

Regola Digital Consulting was first conceived in 2020. Richard had noted with concern that the pandemic had resulted in a considerable increase in SME online activity, often without acknowledgement of increased vulnerabilities. What could be done? Thankfully, there was a ready-made solution – a certification of good security practice (Cyber Essentials).

By the time the pandemic started to subside, organisations were establishing their increased online activity as normal practice. In 2022, he joined forces with Emily to establish a certification body for Cyber Essentials. Now, with the help of Shaun Walton, Regola will be adding Cyber Essentials Plus to the Regola offering later this year.
