SAFE SQUARE researches and builds technology for people and AI to work together.
Drawing on field expertise and our own technology, we provide ongoing security collaboration and the professional services you need.
Scroll down to go from the outside in through our six services, then on to research and social contribution
Investigating external exposure and related threats
What can be seen from outside, and which threats are relevant?
We turn what is happening outside into evidence you can decide on.
We investigate external information about your organization, brand, accounts, assets and services. We check its source, timing, relationships, history and actual relevance to you, then explain what the risk means and what to check and act on first.
A security review across your organization
Where do we stand overall?
We look across the whole picture and examine the risks that matter in detail.
We review your organization, services and operations from several angles. We look at what is visible from outside, your architecture, configuration and permissions, and how data flows, validate technically where needed, and set out where you stand and what to improve first.
Vulnerability testing and security validation
Can our vulnerabilities really be exploited, and do our key protections actually hold?
We find vulnerabilities and validate the protections that matter.
We confirm the vulnerabilities in a defined system or service and their real impact. When a specific protection goal or a new environment needs validating, we first design what to check and how, then set out, with evidence, when the protection holds and how to improve it.
Red teaming and detection and response testing
How does the organization prevent, detect and respond under a realistic attack?
We find out how your defenses work under a realistic attack.
Against agreed objectives and scenarios, we attempt the attack and test how your organization prevents, detects, reports and responds to it. We review the results with the teams involved and turn them into the improvements and re-checks that are needed.
Training, hands-on practice and exercises
Can our people and teams actually judge and respond?
Learn it, try it, respond to it, and build capability that lasts.
We design training, hands-on practice and exercises around each role and its work. It doesn't stop at understanding the technology: people make real judgments and take real actions, and that experience and feedback carry into their next piece of work.
Security research, tooling and AI engineering
How do we build the methods and technology this problem needs?
We build the analysis methods and tools you need, and put them to work.
We analyze complex security problems and design methods and technology that fit your environment. Working with your existing systems and tools, we build the analysis tools, integrations, automation, knowledge environments and people-and-AI workspaces the problem calls for.
Research and development
What do we research?
At the heart of all six services are five core technologies for people and AI working together.
The five areas have no order: they shape one another and are used in every service. What we learn in the field comes back into the next round of research.
Our social contribution program
Is professional security support out of reach without a budget?
Selected organizations short on budget can cover part or all of the service cost through an agreed social contribution.
The organizations we protect then go on to protect others, through pro bono work, donations and shared knowledge.
Two ways we bring together the capabilities you need and work with you over an agreed period.
Regular security advisory and management program
We check in regularly and help you make the calls that matter.
Ongoing security work, carried out with your team
We learn your team's context and work with you from defining the problem to solving it.
