Manage cyber risks in an increasingly complex world
Organisations face the ongoing challenge of detecting and defending against evolving threats while complying with expanding regulatory requirements and meeting customer expectations. This dual challenge has been compounded by the persistent difficulty of attracting and retaining proficient cyber and privacy professionals. It’s a real concern for organisations across sectors.
In today’s business world, supply chains have become more complex and have increased interdependencies, including shared data, technology, and platforms. Malicious actors seek to exploit the chain’s weakest link to infiltrate large organisations and high-profile brands. As a result, managing the cyber risk of third parties has never been more important.
Furthermore, the regulatory environment is becoming more dynamic, with key regulations such as DORA and NIS 2 requiring organisations to be more vigilant about the risks arising as they increase their digital footprint. Data protection and privacy regulations are also evolving and maturing globally, resulting in more obligations and operational overheads for multinational businesses servicing international markets. In this context, our cyber managed services offer scalable and cost-effective solutions.

Our cyber managed services
Scalable and cost-effective resource models
Many clients now outsource tedious and repetitive tasks like assessments so that their in-house security team can concentrate on more important tactical and strategic priorities. Through our highly skilled experts and automated technology solutions, we offer clients a scalable resource model that reduces cost and effort while enhancing output quality.
Third-party risk management managed services
Given emerging regulatory requirements, from the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to the expanded Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2 Directive), businesses are increasingly focused on managing and reducing the risks of outsourcing to third-party vendors or service providers.
We simplify the processes of assessing, monitoring and minimising the risks associated with third parties. Our experts oversee third-party relationships and associated risks, reducing the risk of data and regulatory breaches and reputational damage. Our technology partnerships also allow us to continuously monitor the threat landscape and provide clients with real-time alerts based on publicly available intelligence.
Our managed service for third-party risk management also allows clients to draw on our skilled team of experts in a challenging talent market. Through this cost-effective approach, organisations can improve efficiencies and allow their in-house security team to focus on tactical and strategic priorities.
Privacy managed service
Our privacy managed service helps clients with privacy operations and compliance, which can be complex and time-consuming. Our offering includes:
- Data subject access requests: our efficient and scalable model can help clients process data subject access requests within tight regulatory timeframes.
- Data protection impact assessments: data protection impact assessments are mandatory for high-risk processing activities. We can perform these assessments on an outsourced basis.
- Breach reporting: our breach reporting service can help triage data breaches and provide a proportionate response.
- Records of processing maintenance: under GDPR, organisations must maintain records of processing activities. We can update these records annually on your behalf.
