How we work together
The same capabilities, four ways to buy them. Most clients start with one assessment and decide the long-term shape afterwards.
Project delivery
A defined engagement with fixed scope and milestones — assessment, build or remediation — closed out on acceptance of the deliverables.
Embedded specialists
Engineers and consultants by the day or on long-term secondment, working inside your schedule and process while your own team ramps up.
Annual managed operations
Monitoring, triage and response bundled into an annual service, tiered by the estate under management, with an hours pool and agreed response times.
Product subscription or self-hosted
Platforms delivered as a SaaS subscription or a self-hosted licence, with entitlements and usage in one console and data that never has to leave your network.
Start with an assessment, then talk scope
Security, data and AI each start with a review of where you stand. The report and its findings are yours, whether or not the engagement continues.
