Assess & Improve

Benchmark your security operations and build on what works

We help you assess your current security operations maturity and build a practical improvement plan tailored to your organisation. We use frameworks like SIM3 to give you an objective, repeatable baseline so you can measure where you are and track real progress over time. Hiring senior cybersecurity staff is expensive and slow — our consultants have up to 25 years of experience and can embed in your team to deliver difficult projects and develop your people’s capabilities.

Discuss improving your team
01

SIM3 gap assessment

A structured gap assessment using the SIM3 framework, based on our extensive experience assessing security teams globally. We typically use SIM3 because it gives you a repeatable way to measure maturity across organisation, human, tools, and processes.

04

Industry benchmarking

Benchmark yourself against others in your industry so you understand where to improve. We help you compare your security operations to peers in your sector and set realistic, organisation-specific targets.

02

Realistic improvement roadmap

We develop a multi-year improvement roadmap to fix your security team — a practical path to an efficient, effective capability that accounts for your budget, team size, and organisational context.

03

Staff augmentation

Experienced staff with 10–26 years of cybersecurity experience, embedded in your team to help you do the projects you just don’t have time to do — and level up your people’s skills along the way.

Incident Response

Build incident response processes that work under pressure

We have extensive experience helping organisations create and improve their incident response processes. Whether you’re building from scratch or refining what you have, we focus on making IR processes that work reliably when it matters most.

We act as a resource multiplier for your team — helping you do more with less by tuning alerts, automating repetitive tasks, and aligning your detection rules with your actual threat landscape.

01

IR process design

Create and improve incident response processes so they work reliably and effectively. We design processes that match your team’s size and operating environment.

01

Triage & investigation

Work out the best way to triage and investigate new potential security incidents. We help you build consistent, repeatable approaches to handling alerts.

01

Alert tuning & automation

Reduce alert fatigue so that your staff get an opportunity to work on other things. We tune detection rules and automate repetitive tasks — a resource multiplier for lean teams.

01

Table-top exercises (TTX)

Scenario-based exercises to make sure that people know what to do when an incident occurs. We design and facilitate exercises tailored to your threat landscape.

Frameworks & Threat Modelling

Map threats with ATT&CK and VERIS to see how they reach you

ATT&CK mapping gives your team a structured way to describe adversary behaviour, classify incidents, and pinpoint where your defences are strongest and weakest. We help you operationalise ATT&CK and VERIS so they become practical tools your analysts actually use, not shelf documents.

Once threats are mapped to techniques and tactics, you can overlay your logging and detection coverage to find the gaps — and focus effort where it matters most.

Classify security incidents using ATT&CK or VERIS frameworks — give your team a structured vocabulary for categorising threats and mapping them to known adversary behaviours

Define logging standards — make sure your analysts have the information they need when investigating incidents, without drowning in noise

Develop attack flow diagrams — understand the choke points that let you catch your most likely threats, and where the best detection opportunities exist
