The Firm
Beyond baseline compliance. Architectural integrity for high-stakes transactions.
Compliance work is often theatre — thick binders, exhausted teams, an auditor's signature that expires the day it's issued. We refuse that model.
Cyber Inspect was founded on a straightforward premise: the same practitioners who once ran security inside global banks, hospitals, and hyperscale platforms should be the ones sitting across from your board — not a rotating cast of junior consultants.
Every engagement is led by a named partner. Every deliverable is drafted for a reader who will need to defend it — to a regulator, a customer, or a court. That is the whole of our method.
The Method
Four movements. One retained relationship.
Each engagement is scoped as a standing counsel arrangement — diagnostic through continuity — never a one-off report.
- I
Diagnostic
A partner-led review of your programme, controls, contracts, and exposure — delivered as a written opinion in ten business days.
- II
Remediation
Prioritised workstreams with named owners, evidence templates, and weekly executive reporting to the audit committee.
- III
Attestation
We sit alongside the auditor, defend the evidence, and negotiate scope. You receive a clean report and a buyer-ready summary.
- IV
Continuity
Continuous compliance, quarterly board updates, and a standing incident line — retained on annual counsel terms.
