WHO WE ARE
Specialist by design.
Our team combines deep technical expertise with proven client service delivery from leading advisory practices.
WHAT WE DO
Understand your adversaries.
Measure the real impact.
Deploy solutions that work.
Three capabilities, deployed together or independently to translate risk insights into clear actions.
Understand
The threats you actually face
We identify the specific threats you face: who, how, and from where — whether from sophisticated cyber crime groups, insiders and accidents, through to changing regulations.
Measure
What impacts you could suffer
We translate technical risk into financial terms. What would an incident cost in operations, revenue, and recovery? We give leadership teams something concrete to work with.
Deploy
Solutions built around reality
The right answer is one you can implement. We design solutions around your risk appetite and budget, not what looks good in a report.

CASE STUDY
Designing a right-sized cybersecurity solution for thermal electricity generating sites at a price point that actually works.
A renewable infrastructure asset manager was early in their security journey with no in-house expertise. Unable to secure cyber insurance at an acceptable price, they faced real financial exposure. Engineering firms proposed solutions that were technically coherent but commercially unworkable, being too costly and too compliance-heavy to implement.
We went to the sites and worked directly with the people running them. Using a threat-informed business risk methodology, we established what an incident would cost the business, then designed a proportionate and scalable solution built around their risk and cost appetite. The result saved the client significant amount of money while delivering a step-change in their security posture.
- Cyber maturity assessment and loss quantification model
- High-level architecture for a full cybersecurity solution
- Revised minimum viable design, built around realistic threat scenarios and what the client could genuinely afford
- Vendor selection support for required technical products
- Implementation roadmap
- Projected spend reduced by two-thirds from millions of euros over three years to commercially acceptable one-off and recurring costs
- Security responsibility transferred from onsite engineers to specialist vendors, so the solution holds regardless of staff turnover
- Sites in a stronger position to prevent, contain and recover from an incident
