Services
Cybersecurity Consulting
Offensive security, custom development, and architecture work from the team that builds and operates AIS.
Practice areas
Four things we do properly
We take a narrow set of engagements rather than a broad catalogue, because the alternative is subcontracting work we cannot stand behind.
Offensive Security and Red Teaming
Penetration testing and adversary emulation run by operators with real intelligence-community experience. We model how a determined attacker actually behaves, then show you what they would have reached.
Security Software Development
Custom security tooling built to production standards — detection pipelines, secure communications, and platform work. AIS is our own proof that we ship rather than prototype.
Security Architecture and Consulting
Program design and architecture review for organisations that have outgrown checkbox compliance. We assess honestly, including when the answer is that you need less than you were sold.
Physical and Cyber Convergence
Most real intrusions cross the boundary between the two. We design the seam deliberately — access control, surveillance, and network defence treated as one problem.
How an engagement runs
Four steps, and the last one is the one that gets skipped
01
Scope
We agree what is in bounds, what success looks like, and what you will actually do with the findings. An assessment nobody acts on is an expensive document.
02
Assess
Hands-on testing and review against how a real adversary would approach the target — not a scanner run and a tool export with the vendor logo swapped out.
03
Report
Findings ranked by exploitability and consequence, written so an engineer can fix them and an executive can decide about them. No inflated severity to pad the deck.
04
Retest
We come back and verify the fixes. A finding is not closed because someone said it was.
Why us
We ship the thing we consult about
AIS is not a slide in a capability deck. It is a production security platform running on a live estate, with the operational scars to prove it — restart bugs found and fixed, alert logic hardened after it got something wrong, claims retired when the code could not back them.
That is the standard we bring to client work. If an assessment turns up that your real problem is somewhere other than where you hired us to look, we will say so.
Tell us what you are worried about.
Most engagements start with a short conversation about the threat you actually have, rather than the one a compliance framework told you to have.
