Agincourt Partners Ltd was founded by Mike Neve to provide businesses with practical, affordable cyber security support without the jargon, unnecessary complexity or eye-watering consultancy fees.
After spending more than a decade in senior cyber security roles with organisations including Whitbread and NHBC, Mike established Agincourt Partners in 2015 with a simple goal: to help businesses of all sizes strengthen their cyber security through straightforward advice, recognised certifications and practical solutions that genuinely make a difference.
Today, Agincourt Partners supports businesses across the UK and internationally, helping organisations reduce cyber risk, achieve recognised security certifications and build stronger, more resilient security practices.
"Practical cyber security without the jargon, the eye-watering consultancy fees or the headache."
Cyber security has been at the heart of Mike’s career for many years. Before founding Agincourt Partners, he worked in senior cyber security roles for organisations including Whitbread and NHBC, where he gained extensive experience developing security strategies, managing cyber risk and protecting business-critical systems.
That experience has shaped the way Agincourt Partners works today. Rather than overwhelming businesses with technical jargon or recommending unnecessary solutions, Mike believes in providing honest advice, practical recommendations and security that genuinely fits the way each business operates.
Whether you’re a growing business, an established organisation or an ambitious start-up, Mike’s focus is always the same: understanding your business first before recommending the right level of protection.
Maintaining the highest professional standards is central to everything we do.
Licensed Cyber Essentials Certification Body
Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)
Buckinghamshire Business First (BBF)
BoB Networking
MSc, FBCS, CISSP-ISSMP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer
These qualifications and memberships demonstrate our ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professional knowledge, governance and cyber security best practice.
Many businesses first come to Agincourt Partners because they need help achieving Cyber Essentials certification. As a Licensed Cyber Essentials Certification Body, we can guide your business from the initial assessment right through to successful certification.
Alongside Cyber Essentials, we also support businesses working towards IASME Cyber Assurance and ISO 27001, helping organisations demonstrate their commitment to cyber security while meeting customer, supplier and contractual requirements.
Certification is only part of what we do. We also provide ongoing cyber security consultancy, Virtual CISO services, managed security, risk management, security awareness training and practical security solutions that continue protecting your business long after certification has been achieved.
One of the most rewarding aspects of our work is helping growing businesses and start-ups that have complex security requirements but don’t necessarily need or want the expense of employing a full-time security specialist.
Our Virtual CISO service gives businesses access to experienced cyber security leadership whenever it’s needed, helping you make informed security decisions without the cost and overhead of a permanent Chief Information Security Officer.
As your business grows, your cyber security should grow with it. Our advice is always tailored to your business, your objectives and your budget, ensuring you receive practical support that adds genuine value.
Too often, cyber security is presented as something that’s complicated, expensive and difficult to understand.
We believe it should be the complete opposite.
At Agincourt Partners, we focus on providing clear advice, practical solutions and straightforward recommendations that help businesses make informed decisions without unnecessary technical language or complicated sales pitches.
The hard truth is that many businesses are more exposed than they realise, and the gap between “we should probably sort that” and “we’ve had an incident” is often much smaller than people think.
That’s why we believe prevention really is better than cure. By helping businesses identify weaknesses, improve security and put the right protection in place before problems occur, we help reduce risk. Addressing issues early is also far more cost effective than dealing with the fallout of a breach, giving businesses greater confidence for the future.
Businesses choose Agincourt Partners because they want practical cyber security advice from experienced professionals who understand both technology and business.
We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our clients, providing support that evolves alongside their organisation rather than delivering a one-off service and disappearing afterwards.
Our approach is built around:
Cyber security isn’t something that can simply be ticked off a list and forgotten about.
Technology changes, businesses grow and cyber threats continue to evolve. That’s why we focus on building long-term partnerships with our clients, providing ongoing advice, practical support and security solutions that continue to protect your business as it develops.
Whether you need help achieving certification, strengthening your existing security or simply understanding where your biggest risks lie, we’re here to provide straightforward guidance that helps you move forward with confidence.
If you’re looking for practical cyber security support, recognised certification, experienced Virtual CISO services or simply honest advice about protecting your business, we’d love to hear from you.
