Custom Security & AI Engineering

Security tools, AI models and agents, and collaborative environments, designed and developed around your needs

We build the tools and AI your work needs, with you, and put them to use.

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. We work with the systems and tools you already have, and agree before we start what you will receive and how it is handed over. You can hand us a single defined project, or work with us as Ongoing Security Collaboration, building and refining with your team over a contract period.

How do we build what a problem needs when existing tools do not fully address it?

We design the method and build it into tools and AI; what people have reviewed is reused within the agreed scope in the next piece of work.

Reviewed

The loop in which what is designed, built and reviewed for one problem carries into the next.

A good fit

You don't need fixed requirements. We start by agreeing the questions: what to check, and what to build.

We respect the judgements and reviews your team has already made. Building on them, we look at the problems that surface in your workflows and as things change, and turn them into work we can build and validate.

When off-the-shelf security tools don't fit your environment
When you want tools and AI agents to take on repeated checks and report writing
When you want AI models or agents built for your own security work
When scattered security knowledge and material should be usable by your team and AI alike
When new technology such as AI or cloud has no standard yet, and you first need a way to check it and a safe place to test it
When your security team is small and you need an outside expert team to keep building and refining this work with you

What we build together

Depending on the problem, we take on one of these or several together.

METHOD

Deep analysis and method design

We analyse a phenomenon, the conditions under which it occurs and its impact, and design evaluation methods suited to a new environment.

TOOLS

Security tools

We develop analysis and validation tools, and the features that repeated work and test and evaluation environments need.

INTEGRATE

Integration and automation

We connect to your existing systems and APIs, and automate repeated analysis and reporting.

AI models, agents and collaboration

We build AI models and agents suited to the work, systems that deliver knowledge, and collaborative environments where records, review and handover connect.

For example, we can build

Pipelines that gather and analyse exposure signals
Automation for repeated checks
Tools to manage and validate detection rules
AI models evaluated and improved for security work
AI agents that use your tools to carry out tasks
Systems that organise internal security knowledge and deliver it into daily work
Review workflows that people and AI agents carry out together
Support for writing reports and evidence
Environments for testing new technology safely before standards exist

How engagements work

Custom security and AI engineering, with ongoing collaboration to build the tools and environments your team needs. Every service can be contracted on its own or combined with others.

Single project

We take on one project with an agreed scope and timeline, and build, validate and hand over what it needs.

Deliverables and acceptance criteria, rights to source code and data, and who deploys, runs and maintains what are agreed for each engagement before it starts.

Ongoing Security Collaboration

We work with client teams from problem definition through investigation, validation, improvement and development. We join your security, development and operations teams as an outside expert team and, once we understand your services and operations, work on the problems and priorities we agree together. Priorities are revisited together at agreed points.

The contract period, how often we take part, roles, how priorities are set, how we report, whether we work remotely or on site, and whether people are dedicated to you are all agreed before we start.

You don't need to sign up for a collaboration service or take the Comprehensive Security Health Check first: you can commission the professional service you need directly. See services in the sitemap

What stays with you

Depending on the agreed work, you receive some or all of the following.

Analysis and the methods used
What we analysed, and which evaluation and validation methods we used and why, with the evidence.
What was built
The tools and features, AI models and agents, and integrations with your systems built for the work.
Knowledge and records
Design reasoning, work records and review results, organised as knowledge your team and AI agents can use in the next piece of work.
Material for use, operation and handover
The documentation needed to use, run and take over what was built.
Next tasks
Remaining risks and new questions, set out as candidates for the next piece of work. In Ongoing Security Collaboration, they are where the next priorities start.
