From assessment to remediation

Most organisations have security controls in place and a risk register that hasn't been reviewed since the last audit. Whether your framework answers to a regulator, a customer's due-diligence questionnaire, or your own board, it needs to be live and maintained — not a document that comes out when someone asks.

• — Compliance & policy framework (FCA, DORA, FINMA, CAF, ISO 27001)
• — ICT risk management & governance
• — Third-party & supply chain risk management
• — Security awareness & training
• — ISO 27001 gap assessment & certification readiness
• — Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
• — CAF-aligned governance (UK public sector)

You can't defend what you can't see. We map your full attack surface — assets, vulnerabilities, and exposures — then pair technical testing with structured remediation, so gaps are closed, not just documented.

• — Asset discovery & inventory
• — Vulnerability management & assessment
• — Penetration testing & adversary simulation
• — Configuration & hardening reviews

You can't watch everything. We watch what matters — and act when it counts. Our managed detection and response gives you 24/7 coverage without the overhead of building and staffing an in-house security operations centre (SOC).

• — MDR & XDR services (24/7 managed detection & response)
• — SIEM engineering & operations
• — Threat intelligence & detection engineering
• — SOC design & staffing support

When something goes wrong, you need a team that has been here before and stays calm when it counts. We have handled major incidents at the highest level, and we bring that experience and judgement to every engagement. Rapid triage, containment, forensics, and reporting — to regulators, customers, or your board — in a single coordinated response.

• — Security incident response (triage to containment)
• — Digital forensics & containment
• — Incident & escalation management
• — Regulatory incident reporting (FCA, DORA, FINMA)
• — Crisis communication & stakeholder management

Operational resilience is about staying online when something fails — not a binder that satisfies an auditor once a year. We help you identify your important business services, define impact tolerances, and prove you can keep running under stress — to a regulator, a major customer, or your own board.

• — Operational resilience & important business services (FCA, DORA, FINMA)
• — Recovery planning & business continuity (BC/DR)
• — Business continuity & cyber resilience testing
• — Recovery execution & system rebuilding
• — Critical data & records management (FINMA, CAF)

The right people should have access to the right systems — and no one else. We implement identity governance, privileged-access management, and encryption so access is auditable and sensitive data is protected at every layer.

• — Data security & privacy protection
• — Identity & access management (PAM, MFA, access reviews)
• — Encryption & key management

Reliable infrastructure is the foundation every security control depends on. We design, migrate, and manage your cloud environments, networks, and endpoints to a defined standard — with clear accountability and documented procedures, so the operational layer underneath your security programme is solid.

• — Cloud infrastructure & migration
• — Network & connectivity
• — End-user computing & workspace (M365, MDM)
• — Managed service desk
• — IT infrastructure & systems management

AI adoption is moving faster than AI governance at most organisations. Across four specialisms — governance and policy, system security, AI-augmented operations, and readiness advisory — we make AI adoption safe, compliant, and resilient.

• — AI governance, risk & policy (EU AI Act, FCA, FINMA)
• — LLM & generative AI security testing
• — Agentic AI & automation security review
• — AI-enhanced threat detection & SIEM optimisation
• — AI readiness assessment & security roadmap

Not every organisation can justify a full-time CISO — but every organisation needs senior security leadership that can engage the board, reassure customers, and satisfy regulators where they apply. We provide fractional, embedded security leadership with full accountability for strategy, governance, and engagement with your board, regulators, and wider stakeholders.

• — Fractional CISO leadership (2–4 days/month)
• — Board & executive cyber reporting
• — Regulatory engagement & liaison (FCA, DORA, FINMA)
• — Security programme governance
• — Security strategy & roadmap development

Some requirements fall outside a standard security programme. For organisations operating critical infrastructure, family offices, or preparing for the quantum computing era, we provide specialised coverage that conventional IT security doesn't reach.

• — Operational technology (OT/ICS) security
• — Digital executive protection & high-net worth individual security
• — Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration planning
