Data & Cyber Security Advisory
Data and cyber security are board-level concerns. Understanding your exposure, managing compliance obligations, and building the right controls requires genuine expertise — not checkbox frameworks.
Hugh Cox (CISSP) has been recognised as a UK data expert by Information Age and brings decades of experience across financial services, healthcare, and technology. He has held CISO and CIO roles and understands both the technical and organisational dimensions of information security.
Our data advisory practice covers strategy, architecture, integration, and governance — helping organisations build a trusted, well-managed data foundation.
What we advise on
Cyber Security Assessment
Independent review of your security posture, controls, and risk exposure — delivered at board level.
Data Strategy & Architecture
Advisory on data platforms, governance frameworks, and integration architecture for growth-stage businesses.
GDPR & Compliance
Practical, experienced guidance on data protection compliance — not theoretical frameworks.
Security Incident Response Advisory
Support for organisations navigating active incidents or post-breach remediation.
Technology Strategy
Independent technology strategy and roadmap development, including build vs buy decisions and vendor evaluation.
The practice's own GDPR commitment is published on this site. Fractional CISO cover and cyber security programme delivery are separate engagements.
Built, not just advised
Hugh founded MyDomainRisk — an external security intelligence platform that performs automated domain risk assessments against publicly available data sources. It is built and operated by the practice. It is a direct product of the frameworks and threat models we apply in client engagements, and a demonstration that our cyber advisory practice is grounded in practical execution.
The practice publishes cyber-posture research on MyDomainRisk. Population figures and report links are listed on the homepage.
