Cybersecurity Solutions

Cybersecurity built around how your organisation actually works.

Networks, endpoints, identities, cloud tenants and people. We assess all of them, fix what matters first, and then keep watching.

Most breaches are not sophisticated. They use a forgotten VPN account, an unpatched firewall, a mailbox without multi-factor authentication or a backup that nobody has restored from. Our security practice starts with those basics, done properly, and builds up from there.

Above the basics sits architecture: Zero Trust and defence-in-depth designs, security roadmaps, gap assessments and CISO-level advisory, delivered on the Microsoft security stack (Entra ID, Defender, Sentinel, Azure security services) with Fortinet, Azure Firewall and Cisco at the perimeter, Ubiquiti on the campus network and VMware or Azure VMware Solution underneath hybrid estates. Much of that work has been for healthcare and public-sector organisations, where HIPAA, PHIPA and public procurement set the bar, and for financial services, oil and gas, energy and manufacturing, where regulators and operational uptime do.

Who it's for

  • Organisations without a full in-house security team that need one they can call.
  • IT teams that want a specialist partner for firewalls, networking and incident response.
  • Healthcare, public-sector, financial, energy and manufacturing organisations with HIPAA, PHIPA, NIST CSF or ISO/IEC 27001 obligations.
  • Enterprises on Azure, Microsoft 365 or VMware that need a security architecture, not just products.
  • Football clubs, leagues and federations whose match-day and sale-day systems cannot go down.

How an engagement runs

  1. Assessment

    We review network, identity, endpoints, email and backup against a fixed checklist and return a prioritised report in plain language.

  2. Remediation

    We fix the high-risk items first, usually identity and backup, then network segmentation and firewall policy.

  3. Managed security

    Monitoring, patching, reviews and response according to the service level agreed with you, with monthly reporting.

Common questions

Do you replace our IT team?

No. We work alongside your team or act as the security function you do not have. Either way, the accounts and the documentation stay in your name.

We already have firewalls from another vendor. Do we have to switch?

Not immediately. We assess what you have and manage it if it is sound. We work with Fortinet, Azure Firewall and Cisco day to day, and we recommend a replacement only when the current platform cannot meet the design.

Can you help with NIS2?

We map your obligations to concrete controls and implement them. We are engineers, not lawyers, so legal interpretation stays with your counsel.

How fast can you start?

An assessment is the first step. Its length depends on the size of the environment; we agree the scope and dates before we begin.

Start with an assessment.

A fixed-scope review of your network, identity, endpoints and backups, with a report you can act on.
