Do you offer penetration testing and red teaming?

Yes. We provide penetration testing (ethical hacking) to find weaknesses before attackers do, and we can support red team or simulation exercises where appropriate. Tests are scoped and reported so you get actionable findings and can prioritise remediation.

How do you support incident response and forensics?

We help with incident detection and response so you contain and recover from security events in a structured way. We also provide digital forensics and breach investigation to determine cause, scope and impact, and to support recovery and lessons learned.

Cybersecurity & Security Operations

Overview

ITHQ provides cybersecurity and security operations so your organisation can protect, detect and respond. We cover cybersecurity strategy and risk assessment, vulnerability assessment and patch management, penetration testing (ethical hacking), threat hunting and threat intelligence, Security Operations Center (SOC) support, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), incident detection and response, digital forensics and breach investigation, security awareness training, social engineering simulation programs, and zero trust security architecture so your security posture is coherent and operational.

Whether you need strategy and assessment, ongoing security operations, or help during an incident, we work to your scale and risk. Our services are grouped by theme below. Browse our services overview or reach out to discuss your needs.

What is cybersecurity and security operations?

Cybersecurity and security operations cover how you protect your systems and data and how you detect and respond to threats. It includes strategy and risk assessment, vulnerability and patch management, penetration testing, threat hunting and intelligence, SOC and SIEM, EDR and incident response, forensics and breach investigation, security awareness and training, and zero trust architecture so your security is planned, visible and actionable.

Strategy & assessment

Effective security starts with a clear strategy and an honest view of your risks and gaps. We help you define cybersecurity strategy, assess risk, and strengthen your posture through vulnerability management and penetration testing so you know where you stand and where to invest.

Cybersecurity Strategy & Risk Assessment

We help you define and align cybersecurity strategy with your business and risk appetite. We conduct risk assessments so you understand threats, vulnerabilities and impact, and we prioritise controls and initiatives so investment is focused and evidence-based. Strategy and risk work feed into roadmaps and governance so security stays on the agenda.

Vulnerability Assessment & Patch Management

We help you find and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited. We run vulnerability assessments and support patch management so systems are scanned regularly, findings are prioritised and patched in line with risk and change windows, and you have a repeatable process that reduces exposure over time.

Penetration Testing (Ethical Hacking)

We perform penetration testing so you see how an attacker might compromise your systems. Tests are scoped to your environment (e.g. external, internal, web app, network) and delivered with clear reports and remediation guidance. We help you prioritise fixes and can retest to verify that controls are effective.

Threat & operations

Threat hunting, intelligence and security operations help you detect and understand threats. We support threat hunting and threat intelligence, SOC operations, and SIEM design and use so you have visibility and can respond when it matters.

Threat Hunting & Threat Intelligence

We help you hunt for threats that may have evaded routine detection and use threat intelligence to inform your defences. We support hypothesis-driven hunting, integration of intelligence feeds, and tuning of detection so you are better able to find advanced or persistent activity and adapt to the threat landscape.

Security Operations Center (SOC) Support

We support security operations so you can detect and respond to security events around the clock or in line with your needs. We help design and operate SOC processes, triage and escalation, and integration with incident response so alerts are handled consistently and effectively whether you run a SOC in-house or with a partner.

Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)

We help you design, deploy and use SIEM so logs and events are collected, correlated and analysed for security. We support use case development, tuning and integration with your sources and workflows so the SIEM delivers actionable visibility and supports detection, investigation and compliance.

Detection & response

When threats get in, detection and response limit the damage. We help with endpoint detection and response (EDR), incident detection and response, and digital forensics and breach investigation so you contain, recover and learn from security events.

Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

We help you deploy and operate EDR so endpoints are monitored and suspicious activity can be detected and contained. We support product selection, deployment and tuning, and integration with your SOC and incident response so EDR is part of a coherent detection and response capability.

Incident Detection & Response

We help you detect and respond to security incidents in a structured way. We support detection use cases, playbooks and runbooks, and incident response processes so that when something happens you can triage, contain, eradicate and recover, and communicate appropriately. We can also support during active incidents.

Digital Forensics & Breach Investigation

We provide digital forensics and breach investigation so you understand what happened, how, and what was affected. We preserve and analyse evidence, determine cause and scope, and document findings to support recovery, legal or regulatory requirements, and lessons learned so you can improve defences and processes.

People & architecture

Security is as much about people and architecture as it is about technology. We help you build security awareness, test it with social engineering simulations, and design zero trust architecture so your organisation is harder to compromise and better prepared to respond.

Security Awareness Training

We help you design and deliver security awareness training so staff understand risks and their role in protecting the organisation. We cover phishing, passwords, data handling and other topics in a way that is relevant and memorable, and we can tailor content to your policies and audience so awareness supports rather than replaces technical controls.

Social Engineering Simulation Programs

We design and run social engineering simulations (e.g. phishing, vishing, physical) so you test how staff respond to realistic attempts to manipulate them. Simulations are scoped and reported so you see where awareness is strong or weak and can target training and controls. We run programs ethically and in line with your approval and policy.

Zero Trust Security Architecture

We help you design and adopt zero trust security architecture so that access is verified explicitly and least privilege is enforced regardless of network location. We work with identity, device posture, segmentation and policy so you move from implicit trust to verify-never-trust, in steps that fit your environment and risk.
