Our Services
End-to-end cybersecurity consultancy for organisations that cannot afford to compromise. From board-level strategy to technical implementation, we protect what matters most.
Arthur J Goldman brings over two decades of front-line information and cyber security expertise to every engagement. Our founder has served as a security advisory committee member for the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and Lloyds of London, giving us unmatched insight into the regulatory obligations and threat realities facing UK organisations.
We hold advisory positions at InfoSecurity Europe and the EC-Council, and have designed and delivered complex security programmes for FTSE 100 organisations, government agencies, and critical national infrastructure operators. Our approach is evidence-based, outcome-driven, and tailored to your operational reality.
Start a ConversationSpecialising in several key areas of information and cyber security, we help you to manage and succeed, securely.
Assessing the security protocols you need and implementing them effectively. We conduct comprehensive information security management reviews aligned to ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus, and NIST frameworks, developing the policies, procedures, and technical controls that protect your organisation's information assets from both internal and external threats. Our consultants work across all levels of your business to embed a lasting security culture.
Embedding the absolute best practices at every level of your business. Our cyber security management service provides a structured, programme-led approach to reducing your organisation's attack surface. We establish security operations processes, manage vulnerability lifecycles, oversee security tool estates, and align technical controls to your business risk appetite, ensuring that your cyber posture is continuously measured, reported, and improved.
Ensuring you are set up to work securely, safely and compliantly throughout. Regulatory obligations for UK and global organisations have never been more complex. Our compliance specialists guide you through GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, FCA SYSC requirements, NIS2 Directive, ISO 27001 certification, Cyber Essentials Plus, DORA (for financial services), and PCI-DSS, delivering gap analyses, remediation roadmaps, and audit-ready evidence packs.
Helping you manage your systems and security strategically and efficiently. With advisory board memberships held at the FCA, NCSC, Lloyds of London, InfoSecurity Europe, and EC-Council, Arthur J Goldman brings genuine board-level insight to your organisation. Our Advisory Board Service places senior security practitioners at your table, providing strategic oversight, independent challenge, and governance assurance that instils confidence in investors, regulators, and clients alike.
Coordinating your approach to security and regularly analysing its success. Effective security governance means that the right people make the right decisions at the right time. We design and implement governance frameworks, security committees, reporting structures, policy hierarchies, KPIs, and board-level dashboards, that give leadership meaningful visibility over cyber risk and compliance status. We align governance to recognised frameworks including COBIT, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001.
Assessing the problems you face now and setting you up to be a low risk entity. We deliver enterprise-wide cyber risk assessments using structured methodologies, identifying, quantifying, and prioritising threats to your information assets, operational technology, and supply chain. Our risk registers, heat maps, and treatment plans give decision-makers the clarity to invest in the right controls and demonstrate due diligence to boards and regulators.
Advising you on the best methods for continuously protecting your business. Our Non-Executive Director (NED) service places a senior information security practitioner on your board, providing the independent oversight and specialist expertise that regulators increasingly expect. Our NEDs bring FCA-recognised, NCSC-endorsed credibility, fulfilling governance obligations while actively shaping your organisation's security strategy and risk culture.
Guiding you expertly through every stage of this essential process for growth. Digital transformation introduces significant cyber risk if security is not embedded from the outset. We provide security architecture review, cloud migration assurance, DevSecOps integration, and third-party risk management throughout your transformation programme, ensuring that innovation and security advance together rather than in conflict.
Beyond our core offering, we provide the full spectrum of specialist services that an established information security consultancy delivers to clients of every size and sector.
Authorised simulation of real-world attacks to expose vulnerabilities before adversaries do. Our CREST-aligned penetration testing covers web applications, internal and external networks, cloud environments, APIs, mobile applications, and social engineering, delivering actionable remediation guidance and executive-level reporting. Red team exercises simulate advanced persistent threat (APT) actors to test your detection and response capabilities under realistic conditions.
Continuous identification, prioritisation, and remediation of security vulnerabilities across your entire digital estate. We deploy leading scanning platforms, Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7, and integrate findings with your IT asset register to produce risk-scored remediation programmes. Our consultants manage the full vulnerability lifecycle, from discovery through patch validation, providing ongoing visibility through dashboards and regular reporting.
When a security incident occurs, the speed and quality of your response determines the outcome. Arthur J Goldman provides retained and on-demand incident response services, supporting containment, forensic investigation, evidence preservation, regulatory notification (ICO, FCA), and stakeholder communication. We also develop and test Incident Response Plans and playbooks, ensuring your team is rehearsed and confident before a real event occurs.
Board-level security leadership without the cost of a full-time hire. Our vCISO service provides organisations with a senior, experienced Chief Information Security Officer on a fractional or project basis, owning your security strategy, programme, and regulatory relationships. Our vCISOs bring proven experience from FTSE 100 security programmes, FCA advisory roles, and NCSC engagement, delivering immediate credibility to boards, investors, and regulators.
As organisations migrate critical workloads to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, securing cloud environments demands specialist expertise. We deliver cloud security assessments, architecture reviews, Identity and Access Management (IAM) design, data classification and encryption strategy, and compliance mapping against CIS Benchmarks and CSA STAR. Our consultants also assess containerised environments (Kubernetes, Docker) and serverless architectures.
Compromised credentials remain the leading initial access vector in cyber attacks. Our IAM practice designs and implements zero-trust identity architectures, covering Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Single Sign-On (SSO), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and directory services hardening. We review your joiner/mover/leaver processes and implement the principle of least privilege across your technology estate.
A Security Operations Centre is only as effective as the processes and technology behind it. We advise on SOC design, SIEM platform selection (Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar), detection rule development, and alert triage procedures. For organisations without an internal SOC, we provide managed detection and response (MDR) advisory, selecting and overseeing third-party providers on your behalf to ensure SLAs and quality standards are met.
Protecting personal and sensitive data is both a legal obligation and a commercial imperative. Our data protection practice supports UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance, conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), Records of Processing Activity (RoPA) reviews, subject access request procedures, data breach response planning, and Privacy by Design integration into product development. We also advise on cross-border data transfer mechanisms post-Brexit.
Your security is only as strong as your weakest supplier. We design and implement third-party risk management programmes, vendor security questionnaires, onboarding assessments, contractual security obligations, and ongoing assurance monitoring. Drawing on NCSC supply chain guidance and ISO 27036, we help organisations understand and manage the cyber risks introduced through their supply chain, particularly in regulated sectors where supplier risk is subject to regulatory scrutiny.
People remain both the greatest security risk and the most powerful defence. Our security awareness programmes are tailored to your organisation's culture, threat profile, and regulatory obligations, covering phishing simulation, e-learning modules, targeted role-based training for high-risk user groups, board-level cyber briefings, and tabletop exercises. All programmes are measurable, with pre- and post-assessment reporting to demonstrate effectiveness to auditors and regulators.
Organisations must demonstrate the ability to withstand and recover from cyber incidents. We develop Business Continuity Plans (BCPs), Disaster Recovery Plans (DRPs), and Cyber Resilience Frameworks aligned to ISO 22301 and NCSC guidance. Our consultants design recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) that are tested through realistic exercises, ensuring that when disruption occurs, your organisation responds with confidence and minimal impact.
Operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) present unique security challenges, combining legacy infrastructure, safety-critical processes, and increasing connectivity with IT networks. Our OT security practice conducts ICS/SCADA assessments, network segmentation design, and incident response planning for energy, utilities, manufacturing, and transport operators, drawing on IEC 62443 and NCSC CNI guidance to protect critical systems without disrupting operations.
Every engagement follows a structured, intelligence-led methodology, ensuring we deliver measurable outcomes, not just deliverables.
We begin every engagement with a rigorous discovery phase, understanding your business context, threat landscape, existing controls, and regulatory obligations. We conduct interviews with key stakeholders, review technical architecture, and benchmark your security posture against recognised frameworks including ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and Cyber Essentials Plus.
Using the findings from discovery, we develop a prioritised security strategy and roadmap tailored to your risk appetite and business objectives. We present findings at board level in plain language, with clear investment recommendations aligned to the threats that matter most to your organisation, ensuring leadership buy-in and resources are secured for implementation.
Our practitioners work alongside your teams to implement agreed controls, from technical deployment to policy drafting, staff training, and vendor management. We operate at pace and with precision, minimising disruption to your operations whilst building the security capabilities your organisation needs.
Security is not a project, it is a programme. We provide ongoing assurance through regular review cycles, penetration test programmes, compliance audits, and threat intelligence briefings. Our retained advisory relationships give clients continuous access to senior expertise as their business, technology, and threat environment evolves.
