Our services
Strategy, engineering and operations — tuned for company realities like uptime, audits and budgets.
Advisory & Roadmapping
We translate your business priorities into a security plan your team can execute: who does what, by when, and how we’ll measure success. Expect board-level clarity and day-one quick wins.
Architecture & Design
Zero-trust blueprints across network, cloud, email, endpoint and identity — simple to operate, easy to audit, and scalable as the company grows.
Implementation & Integration
From DMARC to ZTNA and EDR, we handle rollout, policy tuning and the last-mile details (playbooks, handover, automation) so benefits show up fast.
Managed Detection & Response
Share the load. We monitor, hunt and respond with your team — you keep visibility and control; we bring the people and process to hit SLAs.
Incident Response & Recovery
When the unexpected happens, we help you contain, investigate and recover — with clear stakeholder comms and evidence capture for insurers and customers.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Policies people can follow; reports auditors accept. We align controls to ISO 27001/NIS2 and streamline customer security questionnaires to keep deals moving.
How we help companies hit cybersecurity goals
From “reduce breach likelihood” to “pass the audit” — we turn goals into measurable outcomes.
1
Make it measurable
We set targets like fewer risky clicks, enforced DMARC, MTTR under X days, and audit evidence by a set date.
2
Prioritise impact
We focus on actions that cut the most risk fastest: MFA for key roles, email domain protection, EDR isolation, exploitable misconfigs.
3
Show value quickly
Early wins — policy baselines, DMARC enforcement, patch catch-up — build confidence and unlock time for deeper change.
4
Scale with guardrails
As we widen coverage, we keep designs simple and auditable so teams can run them without specialist help.
5
Sustain and improve
Quarterly reviews, refined detections and refreshed training keep posture improving and noise under control.
What success looks like
Fewer urgent tickets. Faster audits and security questionnaires. Clear playbooks and reporting. Teams focused on the right problems — because priorities are clear and noise is reduced.
