Let’s be honest: perimeter-based security just doesn’t cut it anymore. Too many organisations rely on basic AD group security and then lose track of who’s accessing what data and why.
We protect your most sensitive data differently — by putting purpose-driven access controls right where they matter most: at the data level. Built on the principles of least privilege and need to know, and powered by Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), it’s a smarter, context-aware way to keep your data safe.
We take a data-centric approach that actually works sustainably with how your business operates. This means the right protection that cuts breach risk and impact while improving governance, compliance and user trust.
Your sensitive data is under constant attack and traditional security models can be full of holes.
This matters more than ever. International cyber threats are rising and now we have agentic AI to worry about – third parties and AI agents simply can’t have unrestricted access to your data.
Here’s what we help you fix:
When you implement “least privilege” and “never trust, always verify” based on why someone actually needs the data, you dramatically cut unauthorized access risk and limit how much damage a breach can cause.

A client project we’re proud of.
This organisation was under constant cyber pressure, but their access controls were tangled and hard to manage. Traditional role-based groups didn’t reflect how data was actually used, and business teams weren’t engaged. We helped them take a data-centric approach to security, building smarter, metadata-driven controls that protect what matters most — without adding admin burden.
What they got:
We’re practitioners, not theorists. We see security as a data problem, not just an IT headache.
Because hackers are going straight for your data. Focus your defences where the real target is, and your security becomes stronger, smarter and way more sustainable.
Traditional perimeter security was built for a world that doesn't exist anymore. It can't cope with people working from home, data living in the cloud or the sophisticated attacks we see today. The basic AD groups don’t have all the context of why someone does or doesn’t need access to data almost never follow least privilege. Result: your data sits there vulnerable to all sorts of attacks. Zero Trust flips this - it protects data based on why someone actually needs it.
Think of it like giving someone keys to your house. You wouldn't hand over every key you own, right? Same principle: people (and AI agents) only get access to exactly what they need, when they need it. Less exposure, lower risk and auditing becomes easier.
We keep it simple. Connect who needs what data for what reason to smart controls that understand context. Automation does the heavy lifting, keeping protection balanced with your business needs without making everything too complicated.
Think of it as your data security CCTV - you can see who's accessing what, when, and why. Crucial for staying compliant and dealing with breaches quickly. The bonus? Done right, it automatically provides data for your GDPR Article 30 reports, saving you hours of manual work and serious money.
Here's the thing: every business can get attacked, and privacy laws apply to everyone. When customers don't trust you with their data, it hits your profits hard - way harder than any fine.
Most companies work with third parties who need access to your data. That's become hackers' favourite way in, regardless of what industry you're in. Some retailers have lost over £300m from a single attack. Zero Trust helps you stay in control of who gets your data, keeping you secure no matter what rules you have to follow.
