From threat data to useful decisions.
An analyst-led managed cyber threat intelligence service for regulated organisations. Built on your priority intelligence requirements, graded to recognised analytic standards, and delivered at the level each audience needs — from the board to the SOC.
Generic threat feeds don’t tell you what to do next.
Most organisations don’t lack threat data. They lack the analysis that turns it into decisions — which threats matter to them, what they mean for the business, and what to do about them.
Our managed service starts with the questions your leadership, risk and security teams actually need answered. Everything we collect, analyse and report is directed by those questions — and every judgement comes with a clear statement of confidence.
The right intelligence for each audience.
Board & risk
Who is likely to target the organisation, why, and what it means for risk appetite, investment and operational resilience.
Security leadership
Active campaigns, threat actor activity and sector trends that should shape priorities, testing and controls.
SOC & responders
Attacker techniques mapped to ATT&CK, detection opportunities and indicators your security operations can act on.
What the service can cover.
Scope is built around your requirements. These are the areas clients most often include.
Threat assessment & reporting
Regular intelligence summaries and periodic threat assessments, written for the audience that will act on them.
Threat actor & campaign tracking
Monitoring of the actors and campaigns most relevant to your sector, with assessments of intent and capability.
Credential & data exposure
Identification of exposed credentials and data linked to your organisation, with prompt escalation.
Third-party & supply chain
Intelligence on critical suppliers and the risks they bring into your environment.
Brand & impersonation
Lookalike domains and impersonation that could be used against your clients or staff.
Vulnerability intelligence
Prioritisation of vulnerabilities by evidence of active exploitation, not just severity scores.
Requests for intelligence
Ad-hoc questions answered by an analyst — about a new threat, a supplier incident or a board query.
Detection support
Threat behaviour translated into detection hypotheses your SOC can build, test and deploy.
TLPT foundations
An established intelligence picture that accelerates the intelligence phase of a future TLPT.
An intelligence cycle built around your requirements.
Direction
Agree and document priority intelligence requirements with your stakeholders.
Collection
A collection plan across open, closed and technical sources — including those you already have.
Processing
Filter, validate, de-duplicate and grade what’s collected.
Analysis
Analyst-led assessment with stated confidence and intelligence gaps.
Dissemination & feedback
Reporting to the right audience, then review and refine the requirements.
An example reporting rhythm.
Cadence and format are agreed with you during onboarding. A typical service looks like this.
| Product | Audience | When | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flash alert | Security lead, SOC | As needed, against agreed criteria | Urgent, actionable threats that need a response now |
| Intelligence summary | Security team | Regular (e.g. fortnightly) | Relevant activity, assessed and prioritised |
| Threat assessment | Security leadership | Monthly or quarterly | Trends, actors and recommended actions |
| Leadership briefing | Board, risk committee | Quarterly | Strategic threat picture in business terms |
| Annual threat landscape | Leadership, risk, testing | Yearly | Input to risk assessment, test planning and TLPT |
Intelligence you can defend in front of a regulator.
Every judgement we make is graded, sourced and stated with an explicit level of confidence — so your control team, red team and board know exactly how much weight to put on it.
Admiralty-style reliability and credibility
Sources are graded for reliability and each piece of information for credibility, so a single unverified forum post is never presented with the same weight as corroborated reporting.
Calibrated probabilistic language
Assessments use a consistent probability scale (in line with UK intelligence practice), so “likely” always means the same thing.
MITRE ATT&CK mapping
Threat actor behaviour and scenarios are mapped to ATT&CK tactics and techniques, giving red teams, SOCs and auditors a shared reference.
Structured analysis and TLP
Structured analytic techniques challenge our own assumptions, intelligence gaps are stated openly, and reporting is marked and shared using the Traffic Light Protocol.
Intelligence that supports your resilience obligations.
For regulated firms, threat intelligence is increasingly an expectation, not an extra.
- DORA expects financial entities to gather information on cyber threats and learn from it, and encourages intelligence-sharing arrangements.
- FCA operational resilience scenario testing should reflect severe but plausible threats to important business services.
- DORA TLPT and TIBER-EU build on a credible threat landscape — which a managed service keeps current.
- Board reporting on cyber risk is stronger when it’s grounded in evidence about real adversaries.
From first conversation to steady state.
Requirements workshop
Identify stakeholders and agree priority intelligence requirements.
Baseline assessment
A baseline threat assessment of your organisation and sector.
Collection plan
Sources, alert criteria, reporting cadence and handling agreed.
Steady state & review
Ongoing reporting with regular reviews of requirements and value.
Managed threat intelligence questions.
Is this a threat feed or a platform?
No. It’s an analyst-led service built on your priority intelligence requirements. We deliver assessed intelligence and recommendations, rather than another feed to manage.
How is this different from security monitoring?
Monitoring tells you what is happening in your environment. Threat intelligence tells you who is likely to target you, how, and why — so you can prioritise defences, testing and detection before an attack.
Why not build an in-house CTI team?
Many organisations do, eventually. A managed service gives you experienced analysts and established methodology immediately, and can complement or later hand over to an in-house capability.
Can you use our existing sources and tools?
Yes. We work with the sources, platforms and tools you already have and add collection where it fills a gap.
How are urgent findings handled?
Urgent findings are escalated immediately against criteria agreed at onboarding, through the channels you choose.
Can we start small?
Yes. Many clients start with a baseline threat assessment and requirements workshop, then move to an ongoing service.
Can managed CTI support a future TLPT?
Yes. An established, well-documented intelligence picture is a strong foundation for the targeted threat intelligence phase of a DORA TLPT or TIBER-EU engagement.
