About CyberXpert

Cyber security leadership built on real-world incident experience

CyberXpert is a UK-based, independent cyber security consultancy helping organisations prevent incidents, respond decisively when they occur, and build long-term resilience rooted in real-world experience.

We exist to bridge the gap between cyber security theory and the realities leaders face when security becomes business-critical and decisions must be made.

Who We Are

Practitioner-led expertise built on real-world experience

CyberXpert was founded by cyber security practitioners with first-hand experience responding to real cyber incidents, conducting digital forensic investigations, and supporting organisations when security becomes business-critical.

We have seen how incidents unfold in practice — the pressure on leadership, the need for clear information, and the consequences of delayed or misinformed decisions. That experience shapes everything we do.

Rather than leading with tools, frameworks, or generic maturity models, we focus on how your organisation operates, where genuine risk exists, and which actions will materially reduce exposure.

Our role is to provide clarity. That means translating technical findings into clear, evidence-led guidance that supports confident decision-making at both operational and executive levels.

We work as a trusted extension of your organisation, integrating with existing IT, security, legal, and leadership teams to deliver practical outcomes without unnecessary disruption.

Our work typically involves:

How We Work

A clear, structured approach designed for real-world security decisions

Understand

We begin by understanding your organisation, environment, and objectives. This includes how your systems operate, how decisions are made, and what material risk means in your context.

Where incidents are involved, this stage focuses on establishing facts, scope, and immediate priorities.

Assess

We assess risk based on evidence, not assumptions. This may include incident analysis, forensic review, threat intelligence, and targeted security assessment.

Our aim is to identify what genuinely matters — separating signal from noise and focusing attention where it will have the greatest impact.

Act

We support decisive, proportionate action. This may involve incident containment, investigation, remediation planning, or targeted risk reduction.

Throughout this stage, we provide clear guidance to support timely and confident decision-making.

Strengthen

Where appropriate, we help organisations strengthen security following an engagement. This focuses on practical improvements, readiness, and resilience aligned to how your organisation actually operates.

The objective is lasting improvement, not unnecessary complexity.

Our approach is collaborative, discreet, and evidence-led — designed to support leadership teams before, during, and after security-critical events.

What Makes CyberXpert Different

Measured expertise focused on clarity, judgement, and outcomes

Focused on leadership decisions, not just technical output

We translate complex security information into clear, evidence-led insights that support confident decision-making at both operational and executive levels.

Practitioner-led judgement shaped by real incidents

Our work is led by practitioners with first-hand experience responding to live incidents and investigations, not by abstract models or theoretical assumptions.

Independent, evidence-driven advice

We are not aligned to tools or vendors. Our recommendations are based on evidence, context, and what will materially reduce risk for your organisation.

Designed to integrate calmly and discreetly

We work smoothly alongside existing IT, security, legal, and leadership teams, operating with discretion when security is business-critical.

Our aim is not to overwhelm organisations with activity, but to provide calm, clear support when it matters most.

Leadership & Accountability

Leadership with clear ownership
and responsibility

CyberXpert engagements are led by senior practitioners with direct responsibility for delivery, advice, and outcomes. We do not delegate critical oversight when security is business-critical.

Clients work directly with experienced professionals who understand the operational, legal, and leadership pressures that demand sound judgement during cyber incidents and risk decisions.

Accountability matters. Our role is to provide honest, evidence-led guidance, even when that advice is challenging or uncomfortable.

Our operating principles

CyberXpert exists to support leaders with calm, credible guidance when security becomes a leadership issue.
