About CyberSolace · London, since 2015
Independent advice.
Experienced people.
Cybersecurity advice that starts with your business—its priorities, its people and the decisions ahead.
A close-knit team, supported by a wider network of specialists. Clear thinking, independent judgement and a shared commitment to your success.
Our story
A clear view.
A practical way forward.
Founded in London in 2015, CyberSolace supports growing and mid-sized organisations with independent cybersecurity advice.
We help leaders understand risk in its business context: governance, operations, reputation and the people who make decisions every day. Technology matters, but so do the processes, priorities and responsibilities around it.
Our size allows us to work closely with clients, bringing in specialist expertise where it adds value. The aim is clear advice and practical progress, proportionate to your business and its stage of growth.
How we work
Good advice starts with understanding.
Business first.
We start with your strategy, priorities and appetite for risk. Security decisions should support the organisation you are building.
Evidence before assumptions.
We ask questions, test assumptions and look for root causes. Recommendations should reflect what is happening in your organisation.
A working partnership.
We value candid conversations, clear responsibilities and constructive challenge. We work alongside your people, with a shared focus on useful outcomes.
You can deduce everything from a contradiction to solve the insoluble to sort the irrelevant from the essential to discover the heart of the mystery in thousands of meaningless signals every day enciphered and sent by the enemy

The right partnership
Who we work
best with.
We work best with organisations that involve us in their decisions, share the context behind their challenges and are prepared to act on our advice. The right fit matters more than the size of the engagement.
If you are looking for a supplier to manage or additional resource to direct, we may not be the right fit. We work best as an independent advisory partner, bringing judgement, constructive challenge and a shared commitment to your success.
A partner invested in your success.
Where we work
Different sectors.
One considered approach.
Our experience spans organisations with different pressures, priorities and responsibilities.
We take time to understand that context, so our advice reflects the business you are building.

I’ve been working with CyberSolace for more than a year now and their expertise and knowledge of the industry is beyond impressive and equally reassuring.
From governance related matters, internal audits and incident response, they have consistently delivered and always maintain a level of professionalism.
I view them as a trusted partner and would not only recommend them but hope to continue to work alongside Cyber Solace for years to come.

We recently worked with CyberSolace for our penetration test as part of our ISO27001 journey, and we couldn’t be more pleased with their exceptional service.
CyberSolace’s team was professional and helpful throughout the entire process. They demonstrated an expert understanding of all things security and compliance. We highly recommend CyberSolace to anyone seeking top-tier expertise in cybersecurity.
