Actica’s consultants bring expertise across the fullest range of Information and Cyber Security challenges, from policy and strategy development, through designing Security Architectures, to securing compliance with key standards.
We are trusted to deliver by clients for whom security is core business. This includes in the Central Government, Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), Defence, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice sectors.
Addressing the problem
Actica is able to address all aspects of information and cyber security, business continuity and risk management at both technical and management levels. Our approach is characterised by pragmatism – we review the effectiveness of existing security measures before making evidenced recommendations for change on the basis of cost / opportunity / benefit. We approach assignments either by developing a security strategy to complement an organisation’s overall business goals, or through more targeted engagements to address specific, identified areas of concern.

We combine this with years of practical experience in supporting both public and private sector companies, ranging from sensitive areas of Government, to innovative tech start-ups.
