We work with founders, operators and boards who need security done properly — not just documented. Here are the organisations we support and the outcomes we've delivered.
shadowlink, a newly launched dual-use defence tech company, needed security built in from day one — not bolted on later. Starting a new company means moving fast, but operating in the defence sector means the security baseline is non-negotiable from the outset. Investors, partners and potential prime contractors expect it.
We deployed a fully hardened Microsoft 365 environment within hours of engagement — securing identities, devices, email, and collaboration tools against the threat profile facing a dual-use defence technology firm. Within a week, shadowlink was Cyber Essentials certified, giving the founders the documented assurance they needed to focus on building their product rather than managing security risk.
The speed of delivery mattered. Defence tech founders are running hard on multiple fronts simultaneously — product development, fundraising, hiring, and business development. Every hour spent on security governance is an hour not spent building. We absorbed that burden entirely.
A data-driven private equity firm needed board-level confidence in their cyber posture to manage their cyber risk and project confidence to partners. Private equity firms operate at the intersection of high-value transactions, sensitive portfolio data, and demanding LP expectations — a combination that creates a complex and high-stakes security requirement.
We designed and delivered a comprehensive security programme — building resilience from the ground up, reducing material risk across back office and software development functions, and producing the evidence their partners needed to see. The programme covered both the investment team's operational environment and the technical infrastructure supporting their data-driven investment process.
The deliverable wasn't just improved security — it was documented, evidenced assurance that could withstand scrutiny from Limited Partners conducting due diligence. In private equity, perception of security maturity affects deal flow and LP confidence in equal measure.
Aerospace and deep tech organisations face a distinct combination of intellectual property risks, supply chain obligations, and investor scrutiny. We'd welcome a conversation about what that means for your security programme.
