Since 1998, Context has been supporting businesses and organisations to meet their ever evolving information security challenges and deal with cyber threats.
Context is independently operated with Fortune 500 backing. An exceptional level of technical expertise informs all our work and our strong track record is based above all on the technical skills, professionalism, independence and integrity of our consultants.
Many of the world’s most successful organisations turn to us for advice, technical assurance, incident response and investigation services, because they believe Context sets the standards that others within the industry strive to follow. Context helped to establish CREST, we helped to shape the development of the Bank of England's CBEST scheme and was one of the first companies to be certified as an approved supplier of the UK Government's Cyber Incident Response (CIR) Scheme.
Cybersecurity Consulting
Our specialist technical consultancy and cyber advisory services are aimed at helping organisations to meet their ever evolving information security challenges and address the growing cyber threat. At Context we always align our solutions with your business objectives, leveraging our unique exposure to what works and what doesn’t through our extensive experience in the industry. We can combine our skills and services in a number of different ways to help your organisation be more secure. We’re also founded on technical excellence, and preserve this approach in everything that we do.
Incident & Breach Response
In order to minimise the impact of an attack, it is vital that the time between the attack occurring and detection is as short as possible, and the response must be rapid and thorough. Context’s CIR accredited cyber incident response team has vast experience in handling complex, high profile and business critical investigations. Our team can assist your organisation to recognise a cyber-incident and then rapidly put in place a highly effective cyber security incident response plan to remediate the issue.
Mobile Security
Whatever your industry or size of your organisation, you simply can’t afford to ignore the mobile threat and potential financial and reputational damage caused by a serious breach. At Context we can help you to ensure that your users, sensitive data, IT systems and reputation are secure and protected by identifying weaknesses in your mobile applications and the configuration of mobile devices, before they are exploited in the wild. We will also ensure that you are fully-compliant with industry regulatory requirements.
Penetration Testing
Our penetration tests are performed in a controlled environment utilising means and methods similar to those that a real-world unauthorised attacker would use to penetrate an organisation’s IT and communications systems. Once we identify a vulnerability, we will establish the impact of that vulnerability and provide the relevant remediation advice. This enables our clients to understand the implications on the business and to identify opportunities to improve systems, design and development processes, or operational policies and procedures. We have developed two solutions which enables remote testing of systems that are only available within client networks. The first is TRigER (Testing Rig for Engaging Remotely) which uses a physical appliance that, once installed on your network, allows
Threat Intelligence
Threat Hunting is an intelligence-led, expert driven, proactive investigation that looks for evidence that a compromise may have occurred within your organisation, whether successful or not. Sophisticated threat actors are always improving their techniques to evade the latest detections tools and controls. This is where our intelligence-led, proactive cyber threat hunting service comes into play. Our aim is to outsmart the attackers, using our extensive experience and investigative techniques to look for signs of a compromise. We think of it as being cyber security’s version of hand-to-hand combat.
Vulnerability Management
Context’s vulnerability assessment service can help to determine your organisation’s exposure to attack from the internet, in an efficient and cost-effective way. Identifying vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems is an important first step for any organisation to improve their security posture and is central to effective cyber risk management. However, maintaining the security of publicly facing networks is challenging as network environments are constantly evolving, new services are being offered and new security vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered in existing services. This is where our managed vulnerability scanning services can help.
