Services
Senior consulting across technology, security, and finance
Every engagement is led by consultants who have held the C-suite roles they advise on — bringing real-world accountability and decision-making experience to your organisation.
Fractional CEO / CFO / CIO
Not every organisation needs — or can afford — a full-time Chief Information Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, or Chief Financial Officer. But every organisation benefits from that level of strategic thinking and leadership.
Our fractional model gives you access to genuine C-suite experience on a flexible basis — from one day a week to a full interim engagement. We integrate with your team, attend board meetings, and take real accountability for outcomes.
Particularly suited to scale-ups preparing for investment or exit, PE-backed portfolio companies, and organisations going through rapid change or technology transformation.
Typical engagements include
What we assess
Technology Stack
Architecture quality, technical debt, scalability, and vendor dependencies.
Data Assets
Data quality, governance, compliance posture, and monetisation potential.
Cyber Security
Security posture, known vulnerabilities, incident history, and exposure risk.
IT Infrastructure
Cloud vs on-premise footprint, licensing, and operational resilience.
Financial Controls
Finance systems, reporting quality, and control framework maturity.
Integration Complexity
Post-merger integration risk, timeline, and cost estimation.
M&A Due Diligence
Acquiring or investing in a technology or data business carries significant hidden risk. Poorly understood technical debt, security vulnerabilities, data compliance issues, or integration complexity can rapidly erode deal value.
Our due diligence practice covers technology, data, cyber-security, and financial controls — giving buyers, investors, and boards a clear, honest assessment of what they are acquiring and what it will cost to bring it to target state.
We have experience working across financial services, media, legal, and healthcare sectors, on transactions ranging from early-stage acquisitions to complex multi-jurisdictional deals.
Programme Management
Complex technology programmes fail for predictable reasons — unclear ownership, under-resourced governance, and the absence of someone senior enough to make decisions and escalate issues effectively.
We provide experienced programme directors who have delivered large-scale transformation initiatives across data, systems integration, infrastructure, and organisational change. We take accountability, not just advisory positions.
From scoping and vendor selection through to delivery and post-implementation review — we bring the seniority and rigour to get complex programmes over the line.

Independent review of your security posture, controls, and risk exposure — delivered at board level.

Practical, experienced guidance on data protection compliance — not theoretical frameworks.

Data & Cyber Security Advisory
Data and cyber security are board-level concerns. Understanding your exposure, managing compliance obligations, and building the right controls requires genuine expertise — not checkbox frameworks.
Hugh Cox (CISSP) has been recognised as a UK data expert by Information Age and brings decades of experience across financial services, healthcare, and technology. He has held CISO and CIO roles and understands both the technical and organisational dimensions of information security.
Our data advisory practice covers strategy, architecture, integration, and governance — helping organisations build a trusted, well-managed data foundation.
Built, not just advised
Hugh founded MyDomainRisk — an external security intelligence platform that performs automated domain risk assessments against publicly available data sources. It is a direct product of the frameworks and threat models we apply in client engagements, and a demonstration that our cyber advisory practice is grounded in practical execution.
