Meet White Hawk Solutions at International Cyber Expo 2026

We’re stepping out from behind our screens and taking White Hawk Solutions on the road to the International Cyber Expo at Olympia London on 29 and 30 September.

We’ll be exhibiting from our own dedicated pod within the IASME Pavilion, alongside a select group of accredited Certification Bodies.

It’s a great opportunity to get out of the office, meet people face-to-face and have some practical conversations about cyber security, certification and what businesses actually need to do next.

Bringing Practical Cyber Security to Olympia London

Cyber security requirements can become confusing very quickly.

A customer might ask for Cyber Essentials. A larger supply-chain opportunity could require something more comprehensive. Defence suppliers are now facing their own specific certification requirements.

The important thing is understanding what applies to your business and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

If you visit the White Hawk Solutions pod, we’ll be offering straightforward, plain-English guidance around:

• Cyber Essentials: Establishing a recognised technical baseline and helping businesses meet customer, tender and supply-chain requirements.
• IASME Cyber Assurance: A broader, risk-based approach covering areas including governance, people, resilience, business continuity and data protection, designed with SMEs in mind.
• Defence Cyber Certification (DCC): Practical guidance for organisations navigating the cyber security requirements associated with MOD contracts and defence supply chains, including the controls set out within DEFSTAN 05-138.
• Ongoing Cyber Security Support: Helping businesses maintain and develop their security position as their organisation, customers and requirements change.

We don’t believe in making cyber security more complicated than it needs to be.

Our approach is about understanding where you are now, what is actually required and what the next practical step looks like.

Why Are We Attending?

Our main reason for attending is actually pretty simple.

We want to get out, meet people and have useful conversations.

There isn’t one cyber security certification or approach that is right for every business. What you need depends on the customers you work with, the supply chains you operate within and the risks your organisation faces.

The Expo gives us an opportunity to talk about those differences and hopefully make some of the terminology and requirements a little easier to understand.

We’re also looking forward to supporting IASME, meeting other Certification Bodies and finding out what organisations across different industries are currently dealing with.

We’re not expecting everyone who visits the pod to arrive ready to buy something.

If you leave with a clearer idea of what your business needs to do next, that’s a useful conversation.

Who Are We Looking to Meet?

Pretty much anyone with a cyber security question is welcome to come and say hello, but we’re particularly interested in speaking with:

• SME Business Leaders: Businesses being asked for Cyber Essentials or IASME Cyber Assurance by customers, tenders, insurers or supply-chain partners.
• Defence Suppliers and Prime Contractors: Organisations navigating Defence Cyber Certification and trying to understand what new MOD requirements mean in practice.
• Tech Innovators and Software Teams: Teams trying to balance rapid development with stronger security, governance and Secure by Design principles.
• Procurement and Risk Teams: Organisations looking for an accredited Certification Body or practical support for businesses within their wider supply chain.

If you’ve received a security questionnaire, tender requirement or certification request and aren’t entirely sure what it means, bring it with you.

Those are exactly the conversations we’re there to have.

Nurturing 365-Day Resilience with Our Seed Packets

We also wanted to bring something slightly different with us.

If you visit the White Hawk Solutions pod, you’ll be able to pick up one of our branded wildflower seed packets.

There is a cyber security analogy in there somewhere.

Good security, like anything worth growing, needs the right foundations and a bit of ongoing attention.

More importantly, we thought they were a nicer reminder of White Hawk than another disposable piece of exhibition merchandise.

Cyber security shouldn’t be treated as a once-a-year box-ticking exercise.

The strongest organisations build good habits, maintain their controls and continue improving as their business develops.

Planning Your Trip to Olympia London?

If you’re attending the International Cyber Expo on 29 or 30 September, come and say hello at the IASME Pavilion.

Whether you want to talk about Cyber Essentials, IASME Cyber Assurance, Defence Cyber Certification or a wider cyber security challenge, we’d be happy to have a chat.

If you’d prefer to make sure we have some dedicated time, you can also reserve a 15-minute slot with Simon in advance here.

No auditor speak. No scary sales pitch.

Just a useful conversation about what your business actually needs.
