How secure are your cyber processes, your IP and your facilities? Are you truly aware of the threats you potentially face from state actors and state-backed competitors?
Business West has partnered with Innovate UK, the Department of Business and Trade (DBT), and the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technology (DSIT) to deliver a new government-backed scheme supporting early-stage companies to meet these challenges.
The Secure Innovation Security Review Scheme is designed to help founders and leaders of innovative early-stage companies to strengthen their cyber and protective security practices with expert-led support.

Each review delivers a high-level assessment of your business’s overall security posture, covering:
- Protective Security Governance

- Cyber Security
- Supply Chain and Partnerships
- Incident Management
What clients say about the Secure Innovation Security Review
HEL Performance, a Devon‑based manufacturer of high‑performance braking components for world‑class motorsport teams, turned to the Secure Innovation Security Review after a cyber‑attack exposed vulnerabilities across their operations. The review helped them strengthen cyber and physical security, build a culture of vigilance and put robust safeguards in place to protect their IP and infrastructure.
“We feel safer, more empowered, and better equipped to protect what we’ve built over nearly three decades. It’s a small investment of time and money, but the return is tenfold. You get recognition for what’s working and guidance on what to improve. It’s invaluable.”
– Simon Lane, Managing Director, HEL Performance
