Security Services

Information Security Consulting

Security isn't a product you buy - it's a capability you build. We help organisations develop robust security programmes that address real risks, not just compliance checkboxes.

Our approach combines strategic thinking with practical implementation. We work with boards and executives to set direction, then roll up our sleeves to make it happen. No PowerPoint-only consultants.

Discuss Your Security Needs

Strategic Security Leadership

Sometimes you need senior security expertise without building a full internal function. We provide hands-on security leadership for organisations at critical junctures.

Whether you're scaling rapidly, preparing for a transaction, responding to a significant incident, or navigating a complex regulatory situation, we bring the experience and judgement needed to make sound decisions under pressure.

Security Architecture

Whether cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments, we design and implement security architectures tailored to your infrastructure. From Zero Trust transformations to cloud migrations, we work across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle platforms.

Identity & Access Management

Design and implementation of IAM architectures that balance security with usability. Least privilege access, federation, privileged access management, and emergency access procedures.

Network Security

Network segmentation, security group design, WAF configuration, DDoS protection, and secure connectivity for hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Encryption & Key Management

Data protection strategies including encryption at rest and in transit, key management architectures, secrets management, and cryptographic control frameworks.

Detection & Response

Security monitoring architecture, log aggregation, SIEM integration, alerting strategies, and incident response procedures for cloud environments.

Penetration Testing

Security testing that finds the issues that matter, not just the low-hanging fruit that automated tools discover.

Web Application Testing

Thorough testing of web applications including OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, authentication and session management weaknesses, and API security issues.

Network Penetration Testing

External and internal network assessments that go beyond scanning to identify exploitable attack paths and privilege escalation opportunities.

Cloud & Infrastructure Assessment

Configuration review and testing of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle environments, as well as on-premises and hybrid infrastructure for misconfigurations and security control gaps.

API Security Testing

Security assessment of REST, GraphQL, and other APIs for authentication bypass, injection attacks, data exposure, and business logic vulnerabilities.

Mobile Application Testing

Security assessment of iOS and Android applications including local data storage, network communications, binary protections, and backend API security.

AI & LLM Security Testing

Security assessment of AI systems and large language models including prompt injection, data leakage, model manipulation, and integration vulnerabilities in GenAI applications.

Our Boutique Approach

Security isn't one-size-fits-all. We tailor our approach to your risk profile, industry requirements, and organisational culture.

Risk-Based Prioritisation

We focus resources on the risks that matter most to your organisation, not generic checklists that waste time and budget.

Actionable Reporting

Our findings come with clear remediation guidance, prioritised by risk and effort. No 200-page reports that gather dust.

Measurable Outcomes

Every engagement includes defined success criteria. We track progress and demonstrate value, not just activity.

Knowledge Transfer

We build your team's capabilities alongside delivering solutions. You're not dependent on us - you're empowered to maintain and extend what we build together.
