From point-in-time assessments to continuous assurance
Since 2008, we have helped organisations manage cybersecurity and data protection with greater clarity, confidence, and control. Blackfoot began with audit and assurance at its core, and over the years we have helped organisations meet demanding security and compliance requirements, test their defences, manage risk, protect personal data, and respond to incidents.
But the way most organisations manage cybersecurity is fragmented. Most audits only show an organisation's position at a particular point in time, while vulnerability reports can be out of date almost as soon as they are issued. Evidence is often spread across different spreadsheets and systems, and although individual suppliers may identify problems, there is rarely anyone joining up the findings and coordinating what happens next. Internal teams are therefore left to piece everything together and explain the overall risk to senior management.
We created Cyber.OS to address that problem.

Technology enabled. Expert led.
We do not believe another dashboard, platform, or report is enough.
Technology can collect information, automate workflows, and improve visibility. But meaningful assurance still requires experienced people who can interpret findings, challenge assumptions, establish priorities, and support informed action.
Our specialists work across governance, risk and compliance, technical assurance, human risk, security operations, incident response, and data protection. This allows us to connect issues that would otherwise be managed separately.

Helping organisations achieve better outcomes
Everything we do is designed around three practical business outcomes.
Gain Trust
Demonstrate to customers, partners, regulators, and stakeholders that security and data protection are being managed effectively.
Reduce Workload
Automate evidence collection, consolidate findings, and reduce the administrative burden placed on internal teams.
Manage Risk
Continuously identify, understand, and prioritise cyber and privacy risks so that informed decisions can be made and appropriate action taken.
Who we work with
We primarily support organisations operating in complex, technology-dependent or regulated environments. Our clients typically have between 100 and 5,000 employees and face increasing scrutiny from customers, regulators, insurers, investors, or supply-chain partners.
We have extensive experience across retail, ecommerce, travel and hospitality, insurance, technology and SaaS, professional services, payments and financial services.
Whether your immediate requirement is PCI DSS, ISO 27001, penetration testing, vulnerability management, human-risk management, vDPO support, or help responding to a DSAR, you can start with the capability you need today. Cyber.OS provides a route to connect those individual activities as your requirements develop, and to move from point-in-time assurance to lasting confidence.
Our Team
Blackfoot is built around experienced specialists who understand that cybersecurity and data protection must work in the real world, not just in policies, reports, and presentations. Our people combine technical knowledge with commercial understanding. We work alongside internal teams, explain complex issues clearly, and focus attention on the actions that will make the greatest difference.
