Headline Summary
A global consultancy with a mission to help organisations understand risks to their critical assets and implement intelligent security.
Consulting Experience

Blacksmiths is a team of security and risk experts based in the UK and operating globally. We help our clients get a firm grip of their security challenges so that they can get on with their mission, confident in the safety of their people, their data and their reputation. Our key areas of expertise are:

Threats - Security incidents affect all organisations, and they don’t happen by accident. Our threat experts know who the threat actors are. They understand their motivation and intent and can use this expertise to help you prevent incidents and protect what matters to you most.

Insider Risk - No organisation is immune from insider risk. It only takes one person to develop a grudge or make a silly mistake for your reputation and bottom line to be seriously damaged. We can help you identify and address the risks using a ‘whole-organisation’ approach.

Cyber - Cyber security encompasses a wide range of concepts and practices. However, we prefer the term ‘technical security’ as it reflects our expertise and approach more precisely. Our role is to bridge the gap for those who feel they need more technical proficiency by providing comprehensive solutions and guidance.

Security Management - In times of economic difficulties, it is natural for security budgets to be reduced in any sized organisation. Security and risk professionals must do more with less. Using tried and tested risk management principles, we will assist any security and risk manager to prioritise what needs doing and why.
