Cybersecurity is a discipline.
We help CISOs, CIOs, CEOs and boards make confident decisions in language they can act on. This whitepaper explains how we turn cyber risk from uncertainty into disciplined control with clarity, evidence, and measurable outcomes.

Disciplined control of cyber risk.
We help you make high-stakes risk decisions in language you can act on, backed by evidence and tested controls. Our portfolio is built around the real questions executives ask, and our approach is designed to create resilient and measurable outcomes.
Define and quantify the cyber scenarios that could materially damage your business.
Evidence-based analysis, targeted validation, and disciplined coaching so controls, people, and decisions hold up when the pressure is on.
Boards and executives need clarity, not noise. We translate cyber risk into business outcomes and measurable progress they can understand and fund.
Cybersecurity is a discipline.
We believe cybersecurity is not a product or a checklist. It is a discipline that demands continuous improvement, risk ownership, and calm decision-making under pressure. Without discipline, defences weaken. Without practice, systems decay. With discipline, risk becomes manageable and resilient.
We help you understand your risks honestly, then choose the right next moves on your own terms. We show you the full picture, then help you act wisely.
Our work moves you from uncertainty to control. We help you see the stronger, safer, and more capable version of your organisation that already exists in potential.
Our commitment
- Integrity and authenticity over sales pressure.
- Disciplined risk control, not security theatre.
- Clear, human communication for boards and executives.
- Measured progress that proves value.
- Independence in how we advise you.
Six questions every senior leader is really asking
Our portfolio is organised around the questions that matter most when cyber risk meets business reality. These are the questions CISOs, CIOs, CEOs and boards need answered in language they can act on.
What could take us down?
"What threats and scenarios genuinely matter to our business, and what would they cost?"
Are we investing wisely?
"Are we putting our effort and money in the right places to reduce risk?"
Will we hold up on a bad day?
"Will our controls and people cope when things go wrong, or will it be chaos?"
Can we move fast safely?
"How do we keep change and growth safe without slowing the business?"
How do we prove value?
"How do we show the board and regulators we are improving, not just compliant?"
Who helps with hard calls?
"Who can help us make the difficult cyber risk decisions with confidence?"
Services mapped to the questions that matter
Each service is designed to answer one or more of the six leadership questions. We tailor the scope to your context, but the outcomes remain consistent: clarity, evidence, and measurable progress.
Cyber Risk Strategy
Define and quantify the scenarios that could materially damage your business. Prioritise the few actions that move risk from unacceptable to acceptable.
Control Effectiveness
Test controls with evidence, not assumptions. Show where things actually fail and tighten architecture without over-engineering.
Cyber Operating Model
Clarify accountability across people, process, and suppliers. Run rehearsals so decisions stay steady under pressure.
Business-Aligned
Make security part of delivery with lightweight guardrails for cloud, transformation, and product change.
Cyber Performance
Create risk-based measures and executive reporting that boards can understand, fund, and track over time.
Trusted Advisor
Provide consistent leadership, challenge, and momentum without needing a full-time CISO. Embedded guidance when you need it.
A disciplined model from insight to resilience
Our approach is structured, measurable, and built to keep momentum over months and years. We work alongside you, not above you.
Diagnose
Identify high-impact scenarios and define what unacceptable risk looks like for your business.
Validate
Test controls and architecture with evidence, not assumptions. Show where things actually fail.
Align
Embed security into decision forums, delivery teams, and governance where it matters.
Sustain
Maintain momentum with advisory, metrics, and resilience coaching over the long term.
Proving value without drowning the board in detail
We focus on a small set of indicators that correlate with risk reduction and resilience. Stories your board can understand and act on.
Risk scenarios that improve over time
Expected loss and downtime per scenario is tracked, tested, and reduced with each cycle. You see progress in terms that matter to the business.
Control effectiveness under pressure
Coverage, detection, containment, and recovery measures tied directly to real business impact, not just compliance checkboxes.
Board-ready narratives
Clear stories like "time to recover from payments outage reduced by X hours" instead of tool inventories and maturity scores.
Consistent governance rhythm
Quarterly risk packs, executive updates, and learning loops that keep discipline alive. Cyber performance treated like financial performance.
Industries that value discipline and risk ownership
Our strongest fit is with organisations that treat cybersecurity as a core business discipline, not a compliance checkbox. Clients who understand that security is as much about culture and governance as it is about technology.
Banking
Complex ecosystems, high trust requirements, and leaders who need disciplined risk control. We understand the regulatory landscape and operational pressures unique to financial services.
Insurance
Operational resilience, regulatory scrutiny, and clear governance expectations. We help insurers build the discipline their stakeholders expect and their operations demand.
Retail
Customer trust at scale, digital transformation, and protection of systems. We help retailers balance rapid change with the security their customers rely on.
Tenarie
Built for our clients and the wider cybersecurity community, Tenarie brings risk, controls, and assurance into one solution. Security becomes measurable, repeatable, and easier to run.
We use our platform to maintain transparency, track measurable progress, and demonstrate value through outcomes, not just activity.
Platform capabilities
- Secure workspaces for each initiative
- Global risk and vulnerability registers
- Centralised control library
- Repeatable test packages
