Senior-level cyber security advisory for organisations operating across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Pragmatic, intelligence-led, and built on real-world operational experience.
Cylos Advisory is a Cyprus-based cyber security and risk advisory firm founded by a practitioner who has operated at the sharp end — from front-line SOC analyst to security lead roles across financial services, healthcare, and national security environments.
We combine deep operational experience with commercial pragmatism to deliver security improvements that are practical, defensible, and aligned with both business objectives and EU regulatory requirements — not theoretical reports that sit on a shelf. A background in education means we're also good at the part most consultants skip: making sure the people who inherit a framework can actually use it.
Senior practitioners with real operational backgrounds — not graduates reading from a framework checklist.
Documented, repeatable frameworks aligned to NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and NIST — built for how organisations actually operate.
Vendor-agnostic guidance to maximise value from your existing investments across cloud and on-premise environments.
Threat-informed decision making grounded in current adversary behaviour, MITRE ATT&CK, and sector-specific risk context.
We provide honest, independent advice — free from vendor affiliations or hidden commercial interests.
Senior practitioners with real-world experience across finance, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and government.
We work alongside your team, transferring knowledge and building internal capability — not dependency.
End-to-end security advisory designed around your organisation's risk profile, regulatory obligations, and operational realities.
Board-level security leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire. We align your security programme with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
Swift, structured response to cyber incidents. From preparation and planning through to crisis management and post-incident improvement.
Build, mature, or optimise your security operations capability. Detection engineering, SIEM/SOAR optimisation, and 24/7 monitoring support.
Structured identification, prioritisation, and mitigation of risks before they become incidents. Evidence-based decision making for your security investments.
Protecting cloud workloads across Azure, AWS, and GCP. Architecture guidance, posture assessments, and compliance alignment.
Translating complex security requirements into clear, actionable policies and procedures that people actually use.
Every engagement is structured around the fundamentals that drive lasting security improvement.
Employees are the most frequently targeted part of any security programme. Ongoing training, clear policies, and realistic simulations help staff recognise and resist phishing and social engineering — reducing human-factor risk across the organisation.
Effective security relies on well-defined governance and repeatable processes. Documented procedures, clear roles, and formal policies ensure consistent responses to threats — and close the gaps that auditors and adversaries both look for.
Safeguarding data requires a balanced focus on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Technical controls — encryption, access management, resilient infrastructure — protect information across IT and cloud environments without becoming a barrier to operations.
Speak with a senior advisor about your specific challenges. No obligation, no hard sell — just an honest conversation about how we can help.
