S-RM

What S-RM does

S-RM is a privately held global intelligence and cybersecurity consultancy headquartered in London, founded in 2005 and operating across six continents from nine offices (London, Manchester, New York, Washington DC, Utrecht, Cape Town, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur). The firm serves corporate clients, financial institutions, and the M&A and investment community, supporting engagements in over 140 countries with a team that collectively speaks more than 45 languages. Service lines are split across two main practices: a cyber portfolio (24/7 incident response, managed cyber security, cyber advisory, digital forensics, and offensive security) and a corporate intelligence portfolio (due diligence, disputes and investigations, M&A and investor services, strategic intelligence, crisis response, and litigation support). The single technology-enabled product, Perspecta Diligence, applies natural language processing to third-party risk research and is paired with expert human review.

S-RM monetises exclusively through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements; no public pricing exists. Go-to-market is sales-led, with client acquisition driven by direct enterprise engagement, referrals, and an active thought-leadership engine (Cyber Intelligence Briefing, Red Flag Bulletin, ESG Watch, Global Risk Bulletin, and periodic industry reports). The firm's competitive position rests on a rare blend of ex-law-enforcement investigative talent (including former New Scotland Yard specialists), cyber and offensive security practitioners, and forensic accountants, supported by regulatory credentials (private investigative licences in New York and Washington D.C.) and ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001 certifications. In 2026 S-RM was ranked Band 1 across multiple categories by Chambers and Partners, and in March 2026 it announced a strategic partnership with TrendAI for incident response and cyber risk advisory delivery through TrendAI Vision One.
