CyberWomen Groups C.I.C.

What CyberWomen Groups C.I.C. does

CyberWomen Groups C.I.C. is a UK-registered Community Interest Company (legal entity CyberWomen Groups C.I.C. LTD., Company No. 15018654) founded in 2023 and headquartered in Mildenhall, Suffolk. Its stated mission is to create an inclusive community that encourages positive change towards diversity in STEM, with a particular focus on cybersecurity. The organization serves UK university students interested in cyber-based subjects, student ambassadors who lead branch activities, and — through a separately branded 'Next Steps' community — professionals working in the cyber field.

The company does not build or sell technology products. Its offering is community programming: it operates a network of student-led university branches across the UK (Aston, Birmingham, Cardiff, Coventry, De Montfort Leicester, Durham, Leicester, Oxford, Portsmouth, Sheffield Hallam, UWE, Warwick, and York), supported by executives who provide guidance and individual goal-setting to branch leaders. Governance is codified in a published Code of Conduct and impact is tracked via an annual Impact Report (the latest covering June 2025 to June 2026).

Its business model is that of a UK social enterprise rather than a commercial vendor. No revenue, pricing, funding rounds, or paid product lines are disclosed; income is implicit via grants, sponsorships, university partnerships, or donations consistent with the C.I.C. structure. The organization has 1-10 employees, no disclosed paying customers, no proprietary technology, no API or integrations, and no AI/ML capabilities. It communicates primarily through a website (cyberwomengroups.org.uk) and per-branch LinkedIn pages.
