Sector Expertise That
Goes Beyond the Checklist
Real experience across the sectors with the most demanding security and regulatory environments. We understand the specific threats, obligations, and operational constraints your industry faces — because we've worked in them.
Financial Services
Banks, investment firms, payment processors, and fintechs face some of the most demanding regulatory and threat environments of any sector — relentless attempts at data breaches, fraud, and ransomware, alongside obligations under DORA, FCA/PRA requirements, and PCI DSS. We have direct experience delivering security programmes in high-pressure financial services environments and understand what regulators actually expect.
- DORA compliance and ICT risk management
- FCA/PRA regulatory alignment and audit preparation
- SOC maturity assessment and improvement
- Operational resilience programme design
- Third-party and supply chain risk management
- PCI DSS controls implementation and documentation
- Incident response planning and crisis simulation
"DORA has fundamentally changed what regulators expect from financial institutions. The focus has shifted from policy documentation to demonstrable, tested resilience — and organisations that treat it as a tick-box exercise will find that out the hard way."
Healthcare
Healthcare organisations hold some of the most sensitive personal data in existence and operate critical systems where downtime can directly affect patient safety. Ransomware targeting hospitals has become a persistent and escalating threat. We have experience securing healthtech environments and helping clinical organisations build proportionate, NIS2-aligned security programmes without disrupting operations.
- NIS2 compliance for essential healthcare entities
- Clinical system and EHR security hardening
- Patient data protection and GDPR alignment
- Ransomware resilience and recovery planning
- Breach monitoring and incident response
- Legacy system risk management
- Supplier and third-party security assessment
"Healthcare is consistently one of the most targeted sectors globally. The combination of valuable data, legacy infrastructure, and operational pressure makes a structured, risk-based security programme essential — not optional."
Critical Infrastructure
Energy providers, utilities, transport operators, and water authorities face unique challenges where cyber threats translate directly into physical risk. As NIS2 essential entity obligations come into force across the EU, operators need security programmes that address OT/IT convergence, supply chain exposure, and resilience under sustained threat — not just IT security bolted onto operational systems.
- OT/IT convergence security architecture
- NIS2 essential entity compliance programme
- ICS/SCADA risk assessment and hardening
- Incident response planning for operational environments
- Supply chain security and vendor risk management
- Security monitoring design for OT environments
"The convergence of IT and OT networks has dramatically expanded the attack surface for critical infrastructure operators. Security programmes designed for enterprise IT are not sufficient — operational context is everything."
Technology & SaaS
Technology companies and SaaS providers must build security in from the ground up — protecting their own infrastructure, their customers' data, and their reputation. Enterprise customers increasingly require ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent certification as a condition of doing business. Getting ahead of that requirement is a commercial advantage, not just a compliance exercise.
- vCISO advisory for scale-ups and growth-stage companies
- Cloud security architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness
- Secure SDLC and DevSecOps advisory
- AI governance and AI-specific security controls
- Customer trust and security questionnaire support
"Security is increasingly a commercial differentiator for technology companies. Prospects ask harder questions, enterprise procurement teams run security reviews, and a credible security posture can be the difference between winning and losing a deal."
Professional Services
Law firms, accountancies, management consultancies, and other professional services firms hold highly sensitive client data and are increasingly targeted as a route to their clients. A breach doesn't just expose firm data — it exposes sensitive client matters, with serious legal and reputational consequences. We help professional services organisations implement proportionate, credible security programmes that protect the client trust they depend on.
- ISO 27001 implementation and certification support
- Client data protection and GDPR compliance
- Supply chain and third-party risk programmes
- Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus
- Business email compromise and fraud prevention
- Staff awareness and security culture programmes
"Professional services firms are attractive targets precisely because of who their clients are. The data held by a mid-sized law firm can be more valuable to an adversary than the firm itself — and most are significantly under-protected."
Government & Public Sector
Public bodies face a unique combination of complex regulatory obligations, legacy infrastructure, constrained budgets, and high public accountability — while nation-state actors and criminal groups increasingly target government systems. We bring direct experience in national security environments and provide pragmatic, proportionate advisory that works within public sector constraints.
- NIS2 compliance for public administration entities
- Security programme design within budget constraints
- Legacy system risk management and migration planning
- Incident response planning and tabletop exercises
- Governance frameworks and policy development
- Procurement security and supplier assurance
"Public sector organisations can't simply spend their way to security. The challenge is maximising risk reduction within constrained budgets — which requires honest prioritisation and pragmatic programme design, not enterprise frameworks that assume unlimited resources."
