Cyber security that fits where you are — not a generic framework bolted on after the fact. Find your starting point and see what we'd build for you.
You're building something important. The decisions you make in the first weeks and months — about how you store data, how your team accesses systems, how you handle identity — will define your security posture for years. Getting this right from day one is far cheaper than fixing it later, and it positions you well for the compliance journey ahead.
This is what AEGIS is built for: a hardened, managed Microsoft 365 environment plus the evidence for DCC Level 0, in one package. Built by us, protected by us, owned by you.
Cyber Essentials is the baseline. More and more contracts — government and commercial — require it. It's also the first rung on the UK compliance ladder. We make the process straightforward: assess where you are, close the gaps, and get you certified. No unnecessary overhead, no consultant-speak.
Entering the UK market means navigating a different compliance landscape. Cyber Essentials is the starting point, but the UK defence supply chain has its own requirements — and they're evolving fast with CSM v4 and the new DefStan 05-138. We know the system from the inside and can get you compliant quickly, without disrupting your existing operations.

Growth introduces risk. New people, new systems, new suppliers — each one a potential vulnerability. Most fast-growing companies reach a point where their early security decisions no longer hold. We build cyber programmes that scale with your headcount, your infrastructure, and your risk profile so you don't hit a compliance wall right when you need a contract most.
Delivered as AEGIS, sized to the Cyber Risk Profile your contracts carry rather than to your headcount — the level moves as your contracts do.
Your first major defence contract is within reach. But MOD customers and primes want to see more than Cyber Essentials — they want DefStan compliance and evidence of operational resilience. We understand these frameworks from the inside, and we'll get you through them without losing momentum on the contract itself.
Further reading: the difference between CSM v4, DefStan 05-138 and DCC, which controls DefStan 05-138 requires, and how flow-down works for subcontractors.
You've built a strong compliance posture in your home market. The UK is a different system — with its own frameworks, cleared personnel requirements, and a defence supply chain that expects you to know the language. We bridge that gap, mapping your existing controls to UK requirements and building the additional evidence your UK customers will need to see.
At scale, cyber security becomes a board-level concern — and a competitive differentiator. Investors, partners, and customers want to see maturity. Nation-state adversaries see a more valuable target. We provide the executive-level security leadership, the 24/7 managed capability, and the compliance infrastructure to match where your business is going.
At this stage AEGIS runs at the higher DCC levels, and where non-Microsoft 365 systems are in scope we add ATLAS to monitor them.
