Security Team Building

End-to-end talent acquisition, university partnerships, and team structuring for organisations scaling their internal security function — from first hire to mature SOC.

View scope

The Challenge We Solve

  • Hiring in cybersecurity is uniquely difficult. The candidate pool is shallow, credentials are unreliable signals, and the cost of a poor hire in a security function is outsized. Organisations building or scaling security teams need a partner who understands both the domain and the talent landscape.

What We Provide

  • a Team Structure Design Role definition, reporting lines, and team topology design aligned to your threat environment and maturity stage.
  • b Talent Acquisition End-to-end hiring support — sourcing, technical assessment, and onboarding — with domain-specific evaluation criteria.
  • c University Partnerships Structured engagement with engineering and cybersecurity programmes to build early talent pipelines.
  • d Leadership Hiring CISO, Head of Security, and senior SOC lead search — with executive assessment and reference validation.
  • e Capability Assessment Assessment of existing team capability gaps and skill development roadmaps for current security personnel.
  • f SOC Buildout Full Security Operations Centre design — people, process, and technology — from green field to operational.

Our Approach

  • 01 Current State & Ambition We map where you are — headcount, capability, tooling — against where your threat environment and business ambition require you to be.
  • 02 Target Operating Model A concrete team design: roles, responsibilities, and the sequencing of hires to build capability without redundancy.
  • 03 Talent Sourcing & Assessment Domain-literate sourcing and structured technical evaluation — we assess candidates as practitioners, not recruiters.
  • 04 Onboarding & Retention Structured onboarding programmes and retention frameworks designed for the particular demands of security talent.

Training & Awareness

Customised cybersecurity training for employees, leadership, and technical teams — plus university engagement for emerging talent pipelines across the sector.

View scope

Why Human Risk Matters

  • The majority of successful breaches involve a human element — phishing, social engineering, misconfiguration, or process failure. Technical controls are necessary but not sufficient. A security culture, built through consistent and contextually relevant training, is what closes the gap.

Training Programmes

  • a Employee Awareness Phishing simulation, social engineering awareness, and safe digital behaviour — tailored to your organisation's threat profile.
  • b Leadership & Board Cyber risk literacy for senior leaders — translating technical threats into governance and strategic decision-making.
  • c Technical Deep-Dives Role-specific training for developers, system administrators, and SOC analysts — hands-on and scenario-driven.
  • d Incident Response Drills Tabletop exercises and live simulations for security and leadership teams — testing process under realistic pressure.
  • e University Programmes Structured engagement with engineering institutions — guest lectures, workshops, and curriculum advisory.
  • f Compliance Training Role-specific training aligned to CERT-IN, ISO 27001, RBI, and DPDP Act obligations for audit readiness.

Our Delivery Model

  • 01 Needs Assessment We assess your current training baseline, threat profile, and compliance obligations to design a programme that addresses real gaps, not generic risks.
  • 02 Programme Design Content is built around your sector, systems, and team profiles — not repurposed generic modules. Each programme is custom-built.
  • 03 Delivery & Simulation Instructor-led sessions, phishing simulations, and tabletop exercises delivered in-person or virtually — with measurable participation metrics.
  • 04 Measurement & Iteration Post-training assessment, simulation results tracking, and annual programme reviews to ensure sustained effectiveness.

    Security engagement methodology

    Detailed coverage, engagement process, and outcomes from our existing advisory catalogue.

    Information Security Auditing

    Comprehensive IS audits aligned to CERT-IN frameworks, covering network infrastructure, application security, and organisational controls — providing the assurance your stakeholders require.

    What We Audit

    Our IS audits go beyond checkbox compliance. We assess your security posture with the depth that regulatory bodies and enterprise boards expect, producing findings that are actionable, not merely documented.

    • a Network Infrastructure Perimeter defences, segmentation, firewall rulesets, and internal traffic flows.
    • b Application Security Web, mobile, and API-layer security review against OWASP and custom threat models.
    • c Organisational Controls Policies, access governance, vendor risk, and incident response maturity.
    • d Cloud & Hybrid Environments Configuration review for AWS, Azure, GCP, and private cloud deployments.
    • e Compliance Alignment Gap assessment against CERT-IN, ISO 27001, RBI guidelines, and sectoral mandates.
    • f Third-Party & Supply Chain Vendor security posture and supply chain exposure review.

    Our Methodology

    • 01 Scoping & Asset Discovery We define audit boundaries in collaboration with your team, cataloguing systems, data flows, and critical assets to ensure nothing material is out of scope.
    • 02 Evidence Collection & Review Configuration review, documentation analysis, and stakeholder interviews form the evidential base — supplemented by technical testing where required.
    • 03 Risk-Rated Findings Every finding is rated by severity and business impact, with remediation guidance prioritised by risk exposure rather than ease of fix.
    • 04 Audit Report & Walkthrough A detailed report for your technical team and an executive summary for leadership — both delivered with a debrief session.

    Who This Is For

    Organisations required to demonstrate IS compliance — or those seeking independent assurance before major transactions, audits, or regulatory interactions.

    Penetration Testing

    Red team and grey-box assessments across web, mobile, API, cloud, and OT/SCADA environments — surfacing real attacker pathways before adversaries do.

    Assessment Types

    We adapt our methodology to your environment and threat model, not the other way around. Every engagement is scoped to surface the pathways that matter to your adversaries.

    • a Web Application Full OWASP-aligned assessment including business logic flaws, auth bypass, and injection vulnerabilities.
    • b Mobile (Android & iOS) Static and dynamic analysis of mobile applications, including secure storage and API communication.
    • c API Security REST, GraphQL, and SOAP endpoint assessment — authentication, rate limiting, and data exposure.
    • d Network & Infrastructure External and internal network penetration testing, Active Directory review, and lateral movement analysis.
    • e Cloud Environments AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration exploitation, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration pathways.
    • f OT / SCADA Industrial control system assessment with operational safety as a primary constraint throughout.

    Our Engagement Process

    • 01 Threat Modelling We begin by profiling your likely adversaries — nation-state, criminal, or insider — to ensure the engagement simulates realistic attack scenarios, not theoretical ones.
    • 02 Controlled Exploitation Vulnerabilities are chained to demonstrate real business impact. We pursue attacker pathways end-to-end where permitted by scope.
    • 03 Evidence-Based Reporting Every finding includes proof-of-concept evidence, business impact assessment, and prioritised remediation guidance — not just CVSS scores.
    • 04 Retest & Closure Following remediation, we retest critical findings and issue a closure attestation letter for compliance and board reporting.

    Engagement Outcomes

    • Real attacker pathways documented, not hypothetical risks
    • Board-ready reporting for leadership and compliance stakeholders
    • Closure attestation letter issued post-remediation retest
    Cyber Risk Quantification

    FAIR-based financial modelling that translates technical risk into the language of business — giving boards, CISOs, and insurers the clarity to make informed decisions.

    Why Quantification Matters

    Most organisations understand they have cyber risk. Few can answer the question their boards and insurers are asking: how much, and what would it cost? Colour-coded risk matrices don't answer that question. Quantified financial models do.

    We use the FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) methodology — the international standard for cyber risk quantification — to produce defensible, board-presentable loss exposure models.

    What We Model

    • a Primary Loss Exposure Direct financial impact of security events including operational disruption, data loss, and recovery costs.
    • b Secondary Risk Regulatory fines, reputational damage, customer attrition, and third-party liability exposure.
    • c Control Effectiveness Quantified assessment of how current controls reduce loss exposure across the risk landscape.
    • d Scenario Modelling Monte Carlo simulation of breach, ransomware, and supply-chain attack scenarios specific to your sector.
    • e Insurance Optimisation Coverage gap analysis and premium justification for cyber insurance procurement and renewal.
    • f Investment Prioritisation Return-on-security-investment (ROSI) modelling to guide budget allocation decisions.

    Who This Is For

    Organisations seeking to move beyond qualitative risk assessments and give leadership a financially defensible view of their cyber exposure.

    Government & PSU Advisory

    Strategic cybersecurity guidance for central and state bodies, PSUs, and critical national infrastructure — navigating regulatory complexity with sector-specific depth.

    Our Positioning

    Government and public sector cybersecurity demands a different lens — one attuned to procurement constraints, regulatory overlaps, political accountability, and the complexity of legacy infrastructure. We have worked across these environments and understand their operating realities.

    Advisory Domains

    • a CERT-IN Compliance Alignment to CERT-IN directions on information security practices, reporting obligations, and audit requirements.
    • b Critical Infrastructure Protection Cybersecurity frameworks for power, transport, water, and telecommunications critical infrastructure.
    • c Policy & Regulatory Drafting Technical advisory support for cybersecurity policy formulation and regulatory framework development.
    • d Procurement Advisory Technical evaluation support for cybersecurity procurement — RFPs, vendor assessment, and due diligence.
    • e CISO & Leadership Advisory Retained advisory for government CISOs and IT leadership on strategic security posture and incident response.
    • f OT & Industrial Security Cybersecurity advisory for operational technology environments in PSU manufacturing, utilities, and defence.

    Our Engagement Model

    • 01 Mandate Understanding We begin by mapping the regulatory and institutional context specific to the body — understanding accountability lines, existing frameworks, and political constraints.
    • 02 Gap & Risk Assessment Current-state security posture assessment benchmarked against applicable national and sectoral standards.
    • 03 Roadmap Development A phased, implementable roadmap — sequenced by risk priority and aligned to budget and procurement realities.
