Who we are

Offensive security professionals.
Providing intelligence-led defense.

Cyber Armed Security is a team of senior penetration testers and intelligence specialists. We provide independent, intelligence-led security assessments that give organisations the confidence to grow securely.

Where we came from

Humble beginnings

Cyber Armed Security grew out of a group of friends competing together on the platforms where offensive security practitioners are ranked against each other on demonstrated ability. We worked our way to the top of those leaderboards as a team, and turning that into a business was the natural next step.

We did not start as a consultancy that went out and hired testers. We started as testers who decided to do the work for clients. Some of our consultants also bring experience from British military Special Forces and international law enforcement; others bring deep technical certification through OSCP and equivalent offensive security qualifications. Both halves shape how every engagement is run.

An attacker's mindset

We don't just run tools. We think like attackers. Every assessment is driven by curiosity, persistence, and a focus on finding the paths others miss.

Our own methodology

Our methodology has been shaped through years of offensive security work. It follows recognised frameworks such as OWASP and MITRE ATT&CK while remaining adaptable to the realities of each engagement.

Evidence over titles

Exceptional security assessments begin with exceptional practitioners. We believe our work should demonstrate our expertise, not our titles.

How we work

Scoped around the question, not the invoice

The pattern below is the same on every engagement, whether it is a single application or a global estate.

01

We scope around what the business actually needs to know

Not around an IP count. Scope is set by what will actually answer your question, not by what is easiest to quote.

02

We test by hand, against recognised standards

OWASP for applications and AI, CIS Benchmarks for cloud, MITRE ATT&CK for adversary behaviour. Tooling supports the tester; it does not replace them.

03

Anything critical is escalated immediately

Serious findings are reported the moment they are discovered, not saved for the document.

04

We report for two audiences at once

An executive summary a board can act on, and control-level detail an engineer can reproduce and fix.

05

We retest until it is genuinely closed

Every fix is independently verified. Remediation is proven, not assumed, and you get the evidence in writing.

A test that changes nothing was never worth commissioning. We measure our work by what got fixed, not by how many findings we could list.

Standards and credentials

Certified people, published methodology

Credibility in this industry is easy to claim and harder to evidence. These are the specifics.

Certified testers

Our testers hold industry certifications including OSCP and CREST at individual level. The people on your engagement are the certified ones, not a badge held elsewhere in the company.

Recognised methodology

Testing follows published standards, OWASP, CIS and MITRE ATT&CK, so coverage is auditable and every finding maps back to a framework your auditors already accept.

Insured and registered

Cyber liability and professional indemnity cover in place, with certification available on request. Cyber Armed Security Group Ltd, registered in England and Wales, ICO ZA794633.

Confidentiality as standard

We work under NDA as a matter of course.

Independently reviewed

Our clients review us publicly on Trustpilot rather than through selected quotes we chose ourselves.

Who we work with

The reasons clients actually come to us

Our clients are rarely testing because it sounded like a good idea. They are testing because something real prompted it, and because somebody will be asking them to prove it. Any organisation running systems, applications or people worth protecting is a fit, and that is most organisations. We already work across finance, legal, healthcare, automotive, SaaS, crypto, charities and technology, among others.

A deadline

An ISO 27001 audit, a SOC 2 cycle, or a customer security questionnaire that needs real evidence behind it.

A change

A launch, a migration, or a new AI feature going live, where assurance is needed before it reaches production.

An incident

Something already happened, or nearly did, and the organisation wants to know the real extent of it.

Strategic engagements

For when it has to be found, not just checked

Not every engagement is a standard test against a standard scope. Larger organisations bring us the harder questions: something needs to be located, proven, or closed out, and there isn't an existing playbook for it. That is where we do our most demanding work, and where the depth of the team actually gets used.

If it were straightforward, you wouldn't need us. We take on the engagements other providers hand back.

Get in touch

Start with a conversation, not a quote

The most useful thing we can do first is understand what you are actually trying to protect and what is prompting the question. If that turns out to be something smaller than you expected, or something we are not the right firm for, we will say so.

Book a scoping call with our team

Tell us what you're trying to protect, and we'll scope a test that actually answers it.
