Security and Risk
Resilient infrastructure depends on managing risk and securing both the physical and the digital, one is only as strong as the other

What We Do
Infrastructure faces constant pressure from both physical and digital threats. The challenge for owners and operators is knowing what to protect first and how to apply the right level of control without slowing down delivery.
Our approach combines military-proven CARVER analysis (Criticality, Accessibility, Recoverability, Vulnerability, Effect, Recognisability) with modern information classification methods. This creates a structured way to identify what matters most, and ensure those assets and datasets get the protection they need.
Whether it’s safeguarding sensitive project information, protecting critical assets, or ensuring compliance with security standards, we help clients apply proportionate, defensible measures that reduce risk and increase resilience.

Our Engagement Model
​
Discovery Call (Free)
We start with a short consultation to understand your security concerns, compliance requirements, and the infrastructure or systems in scope.
​
Scoping & Proposal
Together, we define the level of engagement. This could be a targeted review of information flows, a site-based assessment of critical assets, or a full cross-sector resilience and security analysis.
​​​
Risk Assessment & CARVER Analysis
Using the CARVER framework, we evaluate assets and information against key factors:
-
Criticality – How essential is it to operations?
-
Accessibility – How easy is it to reach or compromise?
-
Vulnerability – How fragile is it to attack, accident, or failure?
-
Effect – What would the impact of disruption be?
-
Recognisability – How obvious is it as a target?
This gives a defensible, prioritised view of where risks lie and what needs attention first.
​
Classification & Controls
We apply clear, proportionate security classifications to both information and assets. We then recommend practical controls, from data handling procedures to physical safeguards, always balancing protection with usability.
​
Mitigation, Monitoring & Review
We provide a roadmap of mitigation measures and monitoring approaches to keep risks under control. For clients who need it, we can provide ongoing assurance, desktop exercises, or incident-response planning to keep teams sharp and prepared.
