Real client style reporting. Delivered in a clear, board ready format.
Board ready cyber leadership without the full-time cost.
CISO and Cybersecurity Board advisory roles for organisations that need high level security leadership and governance, delivered on a part-time, retainer, or project basis, without the overhead of a permanent hire.
What is this?
Think of us as your on call security executive. Many organisations need senior cybersecurity leadership but can't justify a full-time CISO. Our Fractional CISO service gives you access to board level security expertise: strategy, governance, risk, and compliance, at a fraction of the cost.
Who is it for?
Mid sized companies, startups scaling up, or firms preparing for compliance audits, fundraising, or public listing, who need strategic security leadership without a permanent hire.
How it works
We start with a scoping call to understand your needs. We then agree on a retainer or project scope, sign an NDA, and your dedicated advisor starts within days.
What's included
Cybersecurity Strategy Development
Create and align a security roadmap with your business objectives.
Board & Executive Reporting
Translate cyber risk and security posture into board level insights and dashboards. No jargon.
Risk Management & Assessment
Identify vulnerabilities, prioritise threats, and build mitigation plans including geopolitical and third-party risks.
Security Program Leadership
Lead or advise on overall program direction without a full-time CISO.
Interim Security Leadership
Temporarily fill gaps (e.g., CISO leaves) while hiring or during transformation.
Why it matters
Cyber threats don't pause while you're between hires. A single breach or compliance gap can cost far more than a year of advisory services. Our fractional model gives you expert oversight exactly when and where you need it, proactively, not reactively.

Find your weaknesses before attackers do.
Tailored security testing across applications, code, physical systems, and social engineering, delivered by experienced ethical hackers who think and behave like real world adversaries.
What is this?
Security testing means deliberately probing your systems, people, and processes to find vulnerabilities before real attackers do. We use the same tools and mindset as cybercriminals, and we work for you.
Who is it for?
Any organisation that stores sensitive data, runs customer facing applications, or operates critical infrastructure. If you haven't tested your defences recently, you don't truly know how secure you are.
How it works
We agree on scope and rules of engagement, sign an NDA, then conduct a structured engagement covering offensive testing, defensive analysis, or both. You receive a clear, actionable report with prioritised findings.
What's included
Offensive (Red Team)
Proactive ethical hacking that mimics real cyber attacks, exploiting vulnerabilities to eliminate the guesswork of what may happen during an actual breach.
Defensive (Blue Team)
A reactive approach focused on prevention, detection, and response, analysing your environment to detect potential network flaws before they're exploited.
Purple Teaming
A collaborative approach combining Red and Blue teams to maximise learning, where attackers and defenders work together to improve your security posture continuously.
Application & Code Testing
Deep-dive testing of web applications, APIs, and source code to surface logic flaws, injection points, and authentication weaknesses.
Physical & Social Engineering
Testing the human element through phishing simulations, pretexting, and physical access attempts to assess your people and processes.
Why it matters
Most organisations only discover vulnerabilities after they've been exploited. Regular testing flips this, giving you a clear picture of your real risk exposure and the confidence to act before an incident occurs.

Go public with confidence, not cyber risk.
As companies prepare for an IPO, they face heightened scrutiny from investors, regulators, and stakeholders. Cybersecurity gaps can jeopardise valuation, delay the process, and expose the company to regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
What is this?
Pre-IPO cybersecurity readiness means ensuring your security posture, compliance frameworks, and governance structures meet the demands of public markets, before investors and regulators look under the hood.
Who is it for?
Companies preparing for a public listing, late-stage startups approaching Series C or D, and finance teams managing due diligence processes who need to demonstrate robust security governance.
How it works
We conduct a comprehensive security assessment against IPO-relevant frameworks, identify gaps, build a prioritised remediation roadmap, and prepare your documentation for regulatory and investor scrutiny.
What's included
Cyber Risk Assessments
Comprehensive security audits to identify and prioritise vulnerabilities across your entire environment.
Governance & Compliance Alignment
Implement frameworks like NIST CSF V.2, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and industry specific regulations required by investors and regulators.
Incident Response & Crisis Management
Develop a robust incident response plan and test it through simulations, so you're ready for anything.
Third-Party Vendor Risk Management
Strengthen vendor risk assessments and contract security clauses across your supply chain.
SEC Cybersecurity Disclosure Readiness
Ensure compliance with SEC cybersecurity risk disclosure requirements and investor reporting obligations.
M&A Security Gap Analysis
Identify legacy system vulnerabilities and poor integration strategies that could create hidden cybersecurity risks.
Why it matters
A strong cybersecurity posture enhances investor confidence, mitigates legal and financial risks, and ensures a smooth, secure transition to a publicly traded company. Investors are increasingly sophisticated, and gaps discovered in due diligence can kill a deal.
