Detection Health Assessment
A detection health assessment shows how well your current detections actually work in practice, beyond simple counts of rules or use cases.
We review your existing detections across coverage, noise levels, reliability, and resilience to change. That includes looking at alert quality, data dependencies, testing practices, and how feedback from analysts is (or isn’t) fed back into improvements. You’ll get a clear baseline of strengths, weaknesses, and quick wins that make detections more trustworthy for the team.
If you suspect your detections aren’t pulling their weight, let’s baseline their health and identify the most impactful fixes.
Operational Security Assessment
An operational security assessment helps you understand how well your current security operations really support the business, in plain language your leaders can act on.
We look at capabilities, tooling, processes, and coverage against your actual risks and target maturity, not an abstract checklist. We’ll highlight where you’re over-invested, under-protected, or misaligned, and show how that plays out in day-to-day operations. The outcome is a clear, prioritised view of where to strengthen your SOC so it delivers reliable, sustainable value to the business.
If you want a practical view of “where we really are” and what to fix first, let’s schedule a short discovery call to scope your assessment.
Detection Engineering & Automation
Detection engineering and automation turns writing rules into an organised engineering practice, with quality checks and automation at every step.
We help you design and implement a repeatable workflow for how detections are proposed, reviewed, tested, deployed, and maintained. That can include version control, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, environments for safe experimentation, and integrations with your existing tooling. The result is faster delivery of better-quality detections, with less manual work and fewer surprises in production.
If you’re ready to move from ad-hoc rule writing to an engineered detection pipeline, we can help you design and implement that change.
Management Frameworks
A management framework gives your detection programme clear rules of the road, so content doesn’t slowly drift into chaos.
We work with you to define how detections are owned, measured, tuned, retired, and audited over time. That includes roles and responsibilities, SLAs, workflows for handling noisy or broken content, and the metrics you’ll use to show progress. With this structure in place, your team can make confident decisions about what to build, fix, or retire instead of fighting the same fires repeatedly.
If your detection catalogue feels unmanageable, let’s put a simple but effective framework around it.

Cyber Recovery Assessment
Most organisations have backups. Far fewer have proven they could recover safely after a real cyber attack.
Our Cyber Recovery Readiness Assessment evaluates whether your organisation could restore critical operations without reintroducing attacker access or losing critical data. It helps you understand how well your current recovery capabilities would actually work in a real incident, and where to focus improvements for the biggest impact.
This assessment goes beyond traditional disaster recovery. We review the key areas that determine recovery success: backup protection, identity recovery, clean recovery environments, detection visibility, and recovery procedures. The outcome is a clear view of where your recovery capabilities would succeed or struggle in a real incident.
If you want confidence that you can recover effectively from a cyber incident, let’s assess your current capabilities and identify the most impactful improvements.
Cyber Recovery Design
Understanding recovery gaps is the first step. The next is designing a recovery capability that actually works when systems are compromised.
Our Cyber Recovery Architecture & Design service helps organisations build a resilient recovery environment that can restore critical services safely after a cyber attack. We design the technical architecture, controls, and operational processes required to recover without reintroducing attacker access.
This includes recovery environments, identity recovery strategies, protected backups, and the procedures required to rebuild systems from trusted sources. The focus is practical: clear architecture, tested recovery paths, and controls that support real-world recovery operations.
If you want to build a cyber recovery capability that actually works when you need it, let’s design it together.
Cyber Recovery Playbooks
During a cyber incident, recovery decisions must be made quickly and under pressure. Clear recovery procedures are critical.
Our Cyber Recovery Playbook service develops structured, step-by-step recovery procedures for restoring critical services after a cyber attack. These playbooks provide operational guidance for security, IT, and leadership teams during recovery.
They define recovery priorities, responsibilities, and the sequence of actions required to safely rebuild systems and restore business operations. The goal is to ensure recovery is coordinated, controlled, and repeatable, rather than improvised during a crisis.
Equip your teams with clear procedures for recovering critical services after a cyber incident. Let’s develop those playbooks together.
Cyber Security Strategy
Strategic Planning

Security Controls Assessment
Security Systems Architecture
Strategic Planning
A security strategy turns vague aspirations into a concrete, staged plan that your team and stakeholders can actually deliver.
We work with you to define a realistic operating model, roles, and ways of working for your security operations, matched to your threat profile, technology stack, and budget. From there we build a roadmap that sequences people, process, and tooling changes so you can demonstrate progress at each step instead of chasing a never-ending wish list.
If you need a clear, defensible plan for how your security operations will evolve over the next 12-24 months, get in touch and we’ll map it out with you.
Virtual Support
Our virtual Support service gives you access to experienced security leadership without the cost and commitment of a full-time hire.
We act as a part-time member of your leadership team, helping you set direction, make trade-offs, and communicate clearly with the board, regulators, and the business. That includes defining priorities, overseeing key programmes, and being a sounding board for day-to-day decisions, all tailored to your size, sector, and ambitions.
If you need strategic security guidance but aren’t ready for a full-time security leader, let’s discuss a virtual arrangement that fits your organisation.
Available for businesses of any size, with flexible hours and scope to match your needs.
Security Controls Assessment
A security controls assessment focuses on how well your existing controls perform in real life, not just whether they exist on paper.
We look at key technical and process controls - such as identity, endpoint, logging, and response - and test how they stand up to realistic threat scenarios and your business objectives. You’ll see where controls are doing their job, where there are blind spots or gaps, and where simple changes could significantly improve outcomes.
If you want confidence that your current investments are actually reducing risk, we can help you test and tune your controls.
Security Systems Architecture
Most companies don’t struggle because they lack security tools. They struggle because the tools they have don’t fit their environment, their risks, or how their teams work.
We help you design how your security systems should work together, so they protect what matters, support operations, and don’t create chaos. We work out what you actually need to protect, how attackers would realistically approach it, and how your existing systems should be structured to handle that.
Whether you want assistance with deploying new solutions, or just want to sanity check your current environment, we can help you.

AI Risk & Safety
AI Risk Assessment
Designing AI Integrations Securely
AI Risk Assessment
Our AI risk assessment is designed to be complementary to technical hands-on audits such as red team exercises and penetration tests, by looking at the broader patterns of how AI is used across your organisation, and where that creates risk. It gives you a straightforward view of how your current use of AI and automation could expose data, systems, or people to harm.
We review where and how AI is used in your organisation today - from SaaS tools and copilots to custom models and agents - and identify security, privacy, and safety risks in each pattern. You’ll receive clear recommendations on controls, guardrails, and processes to reduce those risks without shutting down useful innovation.
If you’re unsure about where to begin using AI safely and securely, let’s talk about an assessment tailored to your environment.
Designing AI Integrations Securely
Here we focus on building the guardrails that let your organisation use AI confidently, without constant case-by-case fire drills.
We help you define secure patterns for how AI systems are built and integrated, including data access, prompt and output controls, human oversight, and monitoring. The result is a set of reusable designs, reference architectures, and policies that product, engineering, and business teams can follow to ship AI features safely and repeatably.
If you’re planning to roll out AI solutions, contact us to help you design the guardrails and patterns you need.
