We set the course
- We’ve done this before. Our team came up through security roles at Ocado, Lego, Huel, Rapid7 and PureGym; businesses that needed to grow and transform fast.
- Security sized to your plans. We ask whether you’re building to sell or to hold, then plan and spend in that order.
Move quickly and fix the issues that matter most
- VC money no longer comes cheap. Buyers value EBITDA more now, so cybersecurity must actively protect margins.
- Buyers want proof, not theory. During early M&A negotiations, questions for security focus on staff experience and relevancy.
- Policy matters, but it’s never stopped an attacker. So, we secure things first, then write policy as a byproduct.
And scale security without scaling headcount
- Tool-centric & automated security. Most companies need about 0.2 of a dedicated cyber person, with the breadth of a whole team. Our time, plus our recommended tooling typically costs less than 1-2 full-time hires.
Fractional cyber team
Young, fast-moving teams have rarely seen security done well. Gaps stay invisible until an auditor, buyer, or new senior hire points them out.
Handing a list of vulnerabilities to an AI prompted by someone without deep security experience can result in missed logic flaws, wasted engineering hours, and false confidence.
We provide hands-on leadership without you needing to hire a full team.
- We explain what’s wrong, how to fix it, and what it means for revenue. The person you speak to is the person you work with.
- Plain reporting and clear roadmaps turn security from a black box into something leadership can see. At one client, this won the internal team more budget.
Blank slate security
We start your security function from scratch, fast, without getting in your way. You get a setup that fits your size and risk, not an enterprise blueprint.
- A short conversation, or a couple of days under the hood, and we create a plain-English plan. Work can usually start within the hour.
- Recommendations come from what works across our clients. If a tool isn’t working, we replace it, and can often arrange the contract buyout.
- Action comes first and policy follows when an auditor or buyer needs it. We get you secure and tick the audit boxes as we go.
Cyber risk assessment, accreditation, & compliance
Paying big four fees for SOC2 compliance when a platform can do it for half the price is like buying an Olympic racing bike to cycle to the shops.
We run a focused assessment that tells you what matters and what to fix first.
- Your customers demand ISO 27001 or SOC 2 within months, and platforms like Vanta show every failing control with nowhere to hide.
- We look at real exposure across people, process, and technology.
- Working alongside independent auditors, we turn failing tests green in an order that builds operational resilience.
- We produce clear findings, clear priorities, and actions your team can deliver.
AI security
Rolling out AI before it’s useful, then worrying about client data leaking into it while seeing little of the productivity you paid for is a sure-fire way to throw money down the drain.
We set up AI so it can be used safely, without slowing the business down.
- We cover data handling, AI internal guardrails, and safe usage of automation tools.
- We build and train AI ourselves, so we can make AI both secure and productive.
Security transformation
Moves from on-prem to cloud, from older cloud to serverless, and AI transformation programmes. Security decisions made during the move cost far less than fixes afterwards.
We support your existing people for a short time to bring the cloud, serverless, and AI knowledge that would otherwise take several specialist hires, and upskill the team as we go.
- We specialise in cloud-native and serverless environments, working with modern stacks and companies moving to them.
- We plan cloud and AI transformations alongside engineering so security decisions happen in the right order.
- We identify tooling built for the old estate, replace what isn’t working, and move that budget to where the new estate needs it.
- For startups meeting the requirements, we offer a free 2-day security evaluation.
- We’ll review your infrastructure, process, and policy to surface the most pressing security issues.
- You get a report detailing what needs fixing, and the best tool to use (where applicable).
