    How we can help

    Comprehensive Security Health Check

    We search like an attacker and check like a defender, and set out where you stand and what to improve first, within an agreed scope.

    • A major customer won't sign without an outside penetration test report.
    • A client's security questionnaire asks for our external test results.

    How we can help

    Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration TestingVAPT

    We test the systems we agree on as an independent third party, and set out the findings, their real impact, the evidence and how to fix them.

    If a regulator or parent company requires testing under its frameworkThreat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT)

    • We're about to launch a new service and aren't sure it's safe to ship as it is.

    • We've started managing factory equipment remotely, and we're worried about security.
    • We ship so often that security reviews can't keep up with every release.

    How we can help

    Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration TestingVAPT

    We find vulnerabilities in the systems and services we agree on, and confirm whether they can really be exploited and what they would mean for your business.

    • We don't know where our customers' personal data could leak.
    • We think someone is gaming our coupons or points.
    • We've heard a tampered copy of our app is going around.

    • Our networks are separated, but we're not sure data really can't get out.
    • We worry former employees' accounts are still active somewhere.

    How we can help

    Bespoke Security Validation

    We start from the harm your business worries about, and focus our testing on the paths that lead to it.

    • Fake sites or text messages pretending to be us are going around.
    • A partner got an email in our CEO's name asking for a payment.
    • We want to know whether staff logins and passwords have leaked.

    • We worry there are servers or domains open to the internet that we don't know about.

    How we can help

    Exposure Intelligence

    We turn what is happening outside into evidence you can decide on.

    • We don't know if we'd even notice a real attack.
    • We worry that one compromised laptop could spread to the whole company.
    • We get a pentest every year, but real attackers would probably come in another way.
    • The board is asking how well we would hold up against a real attack.
    • Leadership wants a realistic test without telling the security team.
    • There are attack groups going after our industry, and we don't know if we're ready.

    How we can help

    Red Team AssessmentThreat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT)

    We attempt a realistic attack on an agreed objective and see whether your organisation notices and stops it. The scenario can also be built from threat intelligence about your organisation.

    • We have plenty of security tools but don't know if they catch real attacks.
    • Our monitoring report says ‘no issues’ every month, and we wonder if that's really true.
    • So many alerts go off that we worry we'll miss the one that matters.
    • If something happened, we're not sure we'd have the logs to trace it.
    • We've put in new detection tools and rules and want to check they actually work.
    • We want our monitoring and response teams to practise together against real attack techniques.

    How we can help

    Purple Teaming & Detection Validation

    Attack and defence work side by side, replaying real attack techniques to check whether your detection catches them and fixing gaps on the spot.

    • Our staff click links in phishing emails without a second thought.
    • The security training video everyone watches each year changes nothing.
    • We'd like our developers to reproduce the issues in vulnerability reports themselves and see why they matter.
    • We need our new security hires up to speed and working fast.
    • We want our security team to see our systems the way an attacker does.
    • We want to run an in-house hacking contest and find hidden talent.
    • We want to use AI agents in our security work but don't know how much to hand over.

    How we can help

    Security Capability Development for People & AIOffensive Security TrainingSecurity Development AcademyCTF & Competition Operations

    From staff habits of noticing and reporting phishing to hands-on practice in the attacker's methods and competitions, we build people's capabilities along one growth path. Evaluation and improvement of AI agents' task performance and safe operation are delivered as tailored engagements.

    • With no security staff, our head of development has ended up handling security too.
    • When a security question comes up, we have no one to ask, so we search online.
    • We had one security check, and nothing has happened since.
    • Every time a new vulnerability is in the news, we can't tell if it affects us.
    • Nobody has decided who does what if ransomware hits.
    • We have to report on security to leadership regularly.
    • We want to plan this year's checks and training together.
    • Each time we adopt new AI or cloud services, we want to decide together what to check.

    How we can help

    Cybersecurity Advisory & Care

    We check your security and what's changing outside on a regular schedule, talk things through when you need to, and prepare your response through scenario practice.

    • Off-the-shelf security tools don't fit our environment.
    • We want tools that automate our repetitive checks and report writing.
    • We want AI models or agents built for our own security work.
    • Our security knowledge is scattered, and we want our team and AI to be able to use it together.
    • Our security team is only a few people and can barely keep up with requests.

    How we can help

    Custom Security & AI Engineering

    We design and develop security tools, AI models and agents, knowledge delivery systems and collaborative environments for needs that existing tools do not fully address, as a single project or as Ongoing Security Collaboration alongside your team over a contract period.

    • We know we need security, but we have no budget for it.
    • We're a nonprofit holding lots of donor data, with no money for security.
    • We're an early-stage startup and can't afford anyone for security.
    • We're a small school or community group, and expert security help is hard to get.
    • We worry a single attack could bring our public-interest work to a halt.
