We Believe In Experience
We believe great security is built on clarity knowing your risks, understanding your threats, and making confident decisions based on evidence, not assumptions. Our consultants have led security operations, incident response, and threat intelligence functions across multiple industries, giving us the insight to bridge the gap between strategy and hands-on execution.
Whether we’re supporting your leadership team as a trusted advisor, validating your defences through rigorous testing, or helping you meet regulatory demands, our focus is always the same: deliver meaningful improvements that enhance resilience and reduce uncertainty.
Our History
In an era of rapidly evolving cyber threats, many organisations struggle to keep pace with the complexity of modern security. SMARTSEC Information Security was created to solve this challenge, offering clear, trusted expertise in a landscape often crowded with noise, uncertainty, and over-complication. From the very beginning, our focus has been on delivering practical, measurable security that genuinely strengthens organisations.
SMARTSEC was founded in 2019 with a commitment to providing honest, high-quality assurance services that organisations could rely on. Born from real-world experience in security operations, threat intelligence, and incident response, we understood that businesses didn’t need more jargon — they needed guidance they could trust.
Over the years, our mission has evolved but our principles have stayed the same. We believe that strong security starts with understanding: knowing your risks, knowing your threats, and making informed decisions that improve resilience. This philosophy shaped the development of our consultancy services — from vCISO advisory to compliance and threat-led testing.
Our integration with ThreatInsights further strengthened our ability to deliver intelligence-driven, evidence-based security outcomes.
Today, SMARTSEC continues to grow as a trusted partner for organisations seeking clarity, confidence, and a long-term approach to cybersecurity. Our commitment to integrity, professionalism, and measurable results remains at the heart of everything we do.
Cybersecurity Consultancy, Powered by Intelligence
SMARTSEC evolved into a complete cybersecurity consultancy, offering vCISO advisory, advanced security testing, compliance, and incident readiness support. With the integration of ThreatInsights — our intelligence-driven platform — we now combine expert consultancy with real-time insight to deliver superior outcomes for every client.
Launch of Threat-Led and Regulatory Services
We introduced threat-led testing and compliance support for emerging regulations including ISO 27001, and early DORA readiness work. This marked a shift toward deeper, more strategic partnerships with clients in finance, technology, and critical services.
Expansion Into Governance and Advisory
As demand grew, SMARTSEC broadened its services into security governance, policy development, and risk management. We began supporting clients with strategic security planning and board-level reporting, laying the foundations for our future vCISO offering.
Start of the business
Launched with a simple mission. To provide best-in-class assurance services built on integrity, technical excellence, and clear communication. Early engagements focused on penetration testing and helping small organisations strengthen their security posture.
