The cyber surface is expanding faster than most teams can resource, and defending it has become a programme rather than a stack of products.
The cyber surface has expanded. Identity is the primary attack vector, cloud is where most workloads now run, sensitive data is being exposed by Copilot and GenAI faster than legacy DLP can keep up, and the perimeter has moved from the network to the user. The in-house team needs more than monitoring. It needs continuous detection-engineering, rehearsed incident response, and proactive controls across every surface that matters.
We deliver that operating capability as one programme. Managed detection and response from a UK SOC with named senior analysts, identity-led defence on the platform that fits your estate, cloud and vulnerability management on one backlog, SASE and zero trust for the network and access surface, Data Security Posture Management that keeps pace with Copilot rather than blocking it, penetration testing delivered by CREST and CHECK accredited testers, and an incident response retainer with named UK responders on contracted response times. Aligned to NCSC CAF, NIST CSF 2.0, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials.

Who we serve
Two delivery starting points. One operating model.
We work with organisations preparing for an external assessment or board-level review, and with security teams that need 24/7 cover without losing ownership of their detection content.
What we deliver
Ten cyber security capabilities,
designed as one programme.
Each capability led by named analysts, aligned to recognised frameworks, and integrated into a single operating model.
01 · Managed Detection and Response
MDR led by named UK analysts, in the platform you already chose.
MDR is a service, not a product. The value is in the people. Experienced analysts who know your environment, threat hunters who pursue leads instead of waiting for alerts, and incident handlers who can take decisions on your behalf. The technology underneath matters far less than who is operating it and what they do when something happens.
Our SOC operates as an extension of your team. Named senior analysts on every account, with mean time to acknowledge measured in minutes for priority alerts. Detection content is tuned to your environment continuously, treated as your intellectual property, and remains in your tenant if the contract ends. Threat hunting is hypothesis-driven, informed by the latest threat intelligence, and reported with full context rather than alert counts.
02 · Identity-Led Defence
Identity governance designed and rehearsed, not just configured.
The high-impact intrusions of recent years have shared a pattern. Social engineering against the IT helpdesk, privilege escalation through over-provisioned accounts, and lateral movement using valid credentials. Effective defence is a combination of platform configuration, joiner-mover-leaver discipline and a rehearsed runbook for high-risk identity events.
We rebuild the helpdesk runbook around multi-factor identity verification and rehearse it quarterly with the service desk team. Joiner-mover-leaver workflows are reviewed against your HR system. Privileged accounts move to time-bound, just-in-time activation. Access certifications run quarterly with named approvers. Identity verification for high-risk events such as privileged-account password resets uses verified-credential workflows rather than caller verification questions an attacker can research.
03 · Endpoint and XDR
Detection-engineering operated as a continuous discipline.
XDR platforms correlate signals across endpoint, identity, email and cloud. The value comes from correlation tuned to your environment and a measured reduction in noise over time, rather than coverage on its own. Untuned deployments produce alert volumes the security team cannot triage. The discipline that distinguishes a working XDR from a noisy one is continuous detection-engineering, meaning review, tune, retire, replace.
Our analysts review detection coverage monthly, with false-positive rate published as a primary KPI. Attack-surface management runs against your CMDB, scoring exposure by exploitability and business impact rather than CVSS in isolation. Vulnerability prioritisation reflects what attackers are actually exploiting in the wild, informed by current threat intelligence. The platform is yours to keep. The engineering operates as a service.
04 · Cloud Security and Vulnerability Management
Cloud security and vulnerability management on a single backlog.
Cloud and vulnerability used to be separate disciplines. They no longer are. Most modern attack paths chain together a cloud misconfiguration, an over-privileged identity and an exploitable workload vulnerability, often across a multi-cloud estate that grew faster than the security controls around it. Treating posture and vulnerability as separate practices produces two backlogs the security team cannot reconcile.
Cloud Security Posture Management, Cloud-Native Application Protection and continuous vulnerability management are operated as one service against one prioritised backlog. Misconfigurations, identity exposures, workload vulnerabilities and external attack-surface findings are scored together against exploitability and business impact, with remediation tracked through to closure. Coverage extends across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and the on-premises estate, with container and Kubernetes posture included.
05 · SASE and Zero Trust
SASE and zero trust, converged onto a single edge.
Network and security have converged. Secure Access Service Edge brings Zero Trust Network Access, Secure Web Gateway, CASB and Firewall-as-a-Service onto a single cloud-delivered control plane, replacing the patchwork of VPN concentrators, proxy stacks and branch firewalls that grew up over the last decade. The buyer is increasingly the CISO rather than the network team, because the operating model is identity-led. The user, the device posture and the application, not the network location.
We design and operate SASE on the recognised platforms, selected against your environment. Branch and remote access secured by identity and device posture. Internet egress filtered through a SWG with TLS inspection where the regulator permits. CASB enforcing data-loss prevention across sanctioned and unsanctioned cloud apps. ZTNA replacing legacy VPN, with private application access scoped per user, per session. The result is a smaller attack surface, a simpler operating model, and a measurable reduction in lateral movement risk.
06 · Email and Human-Layer
Email defence combined with a measured human-layer programme.
Generative AI has industrialised phishing. Personalised lures at volume, deepfake voice for executive impersonation, business email compromise targeting finance teams. Effective defence combines email gateway controls, AI-driven impersonation detection and a phishing-simulation programme that reports behavioural change rather than completion rates.
We operate the email security stack as a managed service alongside the SOC, with phishing-simulation results fed into security-awareness training tied to behaviour rather than completion. Executive deepfake briefings cover voice-cloning, video-cloning and verification protocols for finance teams. Quarterly human-layer reporting tracks behavioural improvement against a published baseline rather than vanity metrics.
07 · Data Security and DSPM
Data Security Posture Management designed to keep pace with Copilot.
Generative AI has changed the data risk picture. Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise and the wider GenAI tooling can surface sensitive data the user already had access to but had never seen, accelerating shadow disclosure inside the organisation. Traditional data loss prevention, built on pattern matching and static rules, cannot keep up with multi-cloud, SaaS and AI-driven environments. Data Security Posture Management is the discipline that fills the gap.
DSPM continuously discovers and classifies sensitive data across cloud storage, databases, SaaS applications and on-premises stores, then maps the access conditions that determine real risk. The output is a prioritised picture of where sensitive data lives, who can reach it, and which exposures matter most. DSPM is designed to enable Copilot adoption, not block it, by labelling the right data so that downstream controls work intelligently rather than producing false positives at scale.
08 · Penetration Testing and Red Team
Penetration testing and red team, conducted by CREST and CHECK accredited testers.
Penetration testing is the only way to know whether the controls work. Vulnerability scanners find what they are configured to find. Pen testers find what attackers find, including the chained attack paths that scanners miss and the configuration gaps that look harmless on their own. The procurement-grade signal that distinguishes a credible test from a checkbox exercise is independent accreditation. CREST for commercial assurance, CHECK for systems classified at OFFICIAL or above, and the Cyber Scheme for adjacent disciplines.
Engagements are scoped against your environment and the threats that matter, conducted by CREST and CHECK accredited testers, and reported in plain language with a remediation roadmap and an executive readout. Coverage spans infrastructure, web and mobile applications, APIs, cloud, identity, wireless and physical. Red team engagements are aligned to MITRE ATT&CK and run with the realism your security operations team needs to validate detection content rather than tick a box. Retest is included where remediation is in scope.
09 · Assessments and Assurance
Cyber assessments aligned to the frameworks your auditors recognise.
Cyber Essentials is contractually required across most UK procurement. NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework profiling is mandatory for many public sector and Critical National Infrastructure customers. NIST CSF 2.0, with its Govern function, has become the default framework for board-level cyber reporting. MITRE ATT&CK underpins detection-engineering maturity. Each engagement we run produces auditor-ready evidence that maps to the framework the customer's auditor will use.
Each maturity assessment is fixed scope, fixed price, with a named senior auditor accountable for the deliverable. Output is a prioritised remediation backlog with cost and effort estimates, a costed roadmap, and a board-level readout in plain language. Recommendations are vendor-neutral and include controls outside our reseller portfolio where they fit your environment best.
10 · Incident Respons
Incident response retainer with rehearsed playbooks and named UK responders.
Recovery time after a ransomware or extortion incident is the metric that separates prepared organisations from exposed ones. Pre-agreed playbooks, forensic readiness, regulator notification support and a rehearsed tabletop exercise calendar make the difference between days and weeks of disruption. The contract is the wrong place to negotiate response on the day of the incident.
Our retainer covers playbooks aligned to NIST 800-61, forensic readiness procedures, regulator notification support across ICO, NCSC and Action Fraud, and a quarterly tabletop exercise with executive participation. Named UK responders are on retainer with contracted response times.
