What CYBERTEC GROUP LIMITED does

Cybertec Group Limited is a UK-based cyber security consultancy founded in 2017 in Hereford, operating with a 1-10 employee headcount. The firm delivers security consulting, certification, penetration testing, and UK GDPR compliance services to primarily UK small and mid-market clients, with at least two named engagements including Level Peaks Associates and Adarga Ltd. The portfolio covers SCADA/OT security, Virtual CISO advisory, cyber awareness training, and a secure online self-assessment portal for GDPR readiness, combining manual professional services with a productised self-assessment channel.

The business is differentiated by regulatory and certifications credentials rather than proprietary technology. The firm holds CREST certification for penetration testing, governs certification under IASME, and employs NCSC Certified Cyber Professionals (CCP), with the founder's military intelligence background reinforcing the security-vetted positioning. Service delivery is described as sales-led, professional services, and the firm operates as a micro consultancy with no disclosed funding, revenue, or external investors.

The revenue model is predominantly hourly or project-based cyber consulting and certification work, supplemented by the self-assessment portal that productises compliance for lower-value SMB clients. Channel and partnership signals are limited to governance roles within IASME rather than active commercial partnerships. No AI/ML capability is evident across the disclosed services; the offering relies on practitioner expertise, recognised testing methodologies, and third-party accreditation frameworks. Geographic footprint is UK-only based on available data, with no signals of international expansion.

Direct peers

• 6point6: UK cyber security and technology consultancy delivering penetration testing, cloud security, and security advisory to government and enterprise clients. Directly comparable service mix and UK government supplier positioning to Cybertec, though typically at larger engagement scale.
• SureCloud: UK cyber security and compliance firm delivering pen testing, vulnerability management, and governance/risk/compliance services. Overlaps directly with Cybertec on Cyber Essentials, pen testing and compliance advisory for corporate and government-aligned clients.
• Pentest People: UK CREST-accredited penetration testing firm delivering CREST-certified security testing and vulnerability assessment services to enterprise and public sector clients. Closely comparable to Cybertec's CREST-led pen testing and vulnerability assessment lines, with a similar UK regional focus.
• CyberSmart: UK-based Cyber Essentials automation platform and certification provider serving SMEs. Comparable to Cybertec in targeting UK businesses for Cyber Essentials and Plus certification under the same IASME scheme, but with a more productised, self-service SaaS-led delivery model.
• Cyberis: UK cyber security consultancy specialising in penetration testing, security assessment, and incident response for enterprise clients. Comparable boutique positioning to Cybertec with similar CREST-style accreditations and a UK-only operating footprint.
• Bridewell: UK cyber security consultancy offering penetration testing, managed detection, compliance and advisory services to enterprise and regulated clients. Highly comparable service portfolio to Cybertec, though operating at materially larger scale with established government and CNI credentials.
