Cybersecurity solutions
Identity and access design, secrets management, network and application hardening, logging and monitoring for detection, and incident response preparation with defined roles and escalation paths.
Service group
Cybersecurity and Compliance
Security is a property of how a system is built, which is why we treat it as an engineering discipline rather than a review at the end. That includes the newer questions AI raises: what a model is allowed to see, what a tool is allowed to do, how prompt injection is contained, and how you evidence any of it to an auditor.

The problem
What this service is for
If any of these describe your organisation, this is the right group to start with.
- An audit, tender or client security questionnaire is coming and the evidence doesn't exist.
- Access has accumulated over years and nobody can say who can reach what.
- Secrets are held in configuration files, chat messages and people's memories.
- An AI system is being considered but the security and privacy questions are unanswered.
- Security findings arrive as a list of issues with no prioritisation or remediation plan.
What we do
Services included in this group
Compliance and assurance
Mapping your controls to the obligations that apply — data protection, sector rules, contractual and procurement requirements — and producing the documented evidence an assessor will ask for.
Secure-by-design engineering
Threat modelling, secure architecture and code review, dependency and supply-chain checks in CI, and AI-specific controls: tool permission scoping, output validation, prompt-injection containment and data-handling boundaries.
Key deliverables
What you receive
Tangible artefacts, not a status report. Everything below is handed over and belongs to you.
- Threat model for the system in scope, with prioritised, ranked findings
- Identity, access and secrets management design and implementation plan
- Security control mapping to applicable obligations, with evidence locations
- AI-specific control set: data boundaries, tool scoping, output validation, injection containment
- Automated security checks in CI: dependency scanning, secret detection, policy tests
- Logging, monitoring and alerting design for detection and investigation
- Incident response plan with roles, escalation and communication templates
Expected outcomes
What changes as a result
Described as what the deliverable makes possible. We do not guarantee business results, and any figure we quote will be one you can verify.
- Findings arrive ranked by exploitability and impact, with a remediation sequence you can resource
- Access can be evidenced from source rather than reconstructed from memory
- Secrets live in a managed store with rotation, and stop appearing in repositories
- AI features have explicit, documented boundaries on data access and permitted actions
- Security questionnaires and audits draw on evidence that already exists
Technologies
What we build with
Chosen for fit rather than fashion. Where your organisation has a standardised technology set, we work within it or make a documented case for an exception.
- OAuth 2.1, OpenID Connect, SAML
- Managed secrets stores and key management services
- Static analysis, dependency and container scanning
- Web application firewalls and edge protection
- SIEM and centralised log analysis
- Content Security Policy and browser security headers
- AI guardrail, evaluation and red-teaming tooling
Engagement options
How to start with this service
Most engagements begin with the smallest bounded commitment that answers the open question.
- Discovery sprintTypically 1–2 weeks, fixed fee
- A short, bounded piece of work that turns a broad ambition into a defined problem, a recommended approach and a costed plan. You keep the outputs whether or not we build the solution.
- Fixed-scope deliveryDefined outcome, milestone-based
- An agreed scope, acceptance criteria and milestone schedule. Change is handled through a written change process rather than absorbed silently.
- Managed serviceOngoing, agreed response targets
- Continuing operation, monitoring, patching and improvement of a system we or another supplier built, under response and resolution targets agreed in writing.
