Incident response and recovery
Responding to cybersecurity incidents demands more than forensics; it requires a partner who understands regulatory complexity, organisational structure, and the evolving tactics of threat actors. With increasing interconnectivity, strict regulations like DORA and NIS2, and growing public scrutiny, operational resilience is now a critical priority, especially for highly regulated industries and OT environments.
Our retainers offer 24/7 global access to specialist teams and a modular, customisable structure. We focus on year-round engagement, using workshops, real-time virtual collaboration, and threat intelligence to ensure familiarity and rapid response when it matters most. Unused hours can be repurposed for preparedness, giving you maximum commercial value and peace of mind.
Cyber security threat hunting and detection engineering
Understanding your cybersecurity posture is essential. As attacks grow more sophisticated and harder to detect, organisations must take a proactive approach to identify vulnerabilities and hidden threats within their IT environment.
Many leaders worry their systems have become too complex to secure, allowing attackers to remain undetected for extended periods. Our discovery and detection services provide deep visibility into cyber risks and indicators of compromise by analysing data from endpoints and external sources, enhanced with proprietary threat intelligence. We help you uncover missed threats, assess risk exposure, and deliver clear, actionable remediation guidance to strengthen your defences.
Ransomware readiness and recovery
Ransomware remains the most significant cybersecurity threat for organisations, with increasingly sophisticated, human-operated attacks causing major operational disruption and financial loss. These attacks often involve data theft and system encryption, pressuring victims to pay large ransoms. However, many businesses remain unprepared, not just in defence, but in recovery.
Cybersecurity and business resilience functions often operate in silos, leading to gaps that ransomware can exploit. Traditional resilience plans typically overlook cyber threats, and tools like data replication can unintentionally spread malware. To effectively protect against ransomware, organisations must implement strong preventative controls, gain visibility into their IT estate, and build resilience strategies that enable rapid containment and recovery. This requires cross-functional collaboration, realistic scenario testing, and clear recovery plans that consider both technical and operational impact. End-to-end preparation is key, because in a ransomware attack, response is just the beginning.
Crisis management
Being “crisis-ready” is essential in a world where cyber attacks are increasingly frequent, complex, and damaging. While preventing every attack is impossible, true cyber resilience means being able to absorb disruption and respond quickly to minimise impact. This requires more than technical controls; it demands a well-prepared, well-rehearsed organisation.
Our approach helps you assess gaps, identify critical business services, and build cyber response plans and playbooks. We deliver tailored crisis exercises and leadership training to strengthen decision-making under pressure. During an incident, we provide expert guidance and hands-on support at all levels, from technical teams to the board. Afterwards, we conduct a full post-incident review, analysing root causes, impact, and effectiveness of your response to help you recover stronger and with more resilience.
Our Customer Satisfaction Score proves we’re a safe pair of hands.
