We are an optimistic cyber security consultancy of experts in security, data, technology and design that want to build a safer, more secure world where more things go right.
We believe that good cyber security:
• starts with a deep and thorough understanding of how your organisation works
• provides the strongest protection for the most important things
• responds and adapts to people's needs
Rather than comparing your setup against checklists of known threats and common solutions, we work hard to properly understand your business. We always start with the question "What do you need to protect?" and work our way forward from there.

Compliance
Our Security Programme Management services can help you to achieve compliance with common standards and regulations, such as ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials (Plus), NIST, NIS Directive, and so on.
Cybersecurity Consulting
We typically work with clients — like CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, plus CEOs and NEDs — over longer periods of time to deliver real and measurable outcomes, rather than one-off deliverables.
Below are a few examples of the problems you may be facing, and how we can help, but it is not exhaustive. Pick your favourite way to get in touch and we will be happy to discuss your individual needs.
Risk Management
Cyber risk is the cornerstone of modern security programmes and decision making. Cyber Risk Analysis from Cydea uses risk quantification techniques to help organisations to make better cyber security decisions.
"I need to understand the cyber risk to my organisation is so I can have confidence that we are doing the right things"
We’ll use data and expert judgement, from our experienced and independently certified cyber security practitioners, to help identify, analyse and evaluate the risk scenarios relevant to your operations.

Security Operations & Incident Response
Modern organisations need to combine preventative security controls with effective and efficient detection and response to protect against cyber security threats. These services are delivered by Security Operations Centres (SOCs). Cydea’s SOC advisory services help clients to make strategic decisions about their security operations.
"I need to validate our SOC strategy and understand how effective and efficient our MSSP is."
SOCs are an important source of situational awareness and operational capability for organisations. They need to be built on a foundation of clear mission, skilled people, robust processes, and technology fed with the right data, in order to deliver maximum return on investment.
However many organisations struggle to satisfy management questions:
Do we have the right capabilities?
Are they covering the correct things?
Is the operation effective and efficient?
