Our Story
We built ArmourIQ to close the gap between
knowing the risk and reducing it
ArmourIQ was built by people who've done the work, not just advised on it. We know a risk register full of findings doesn't make you safer, and that a clean audit doesn't mean you're secure. So we focus on what actually moves your risk, telling you honestly what matters, what doesn't, and what to do next, across GRC, penetration testing, vCISO advisory, cloud, and OT security.
We work alongside your teams to build security that holds up in practice, not just on paper, with clear ownership of what to fix and in what order
- Practitioner-led advisory, grounded in hands-on field experience
- Context-aware approach tailored to your industry and risk profile
- Clear, prioritised findings without unnecessary complexity
- End-to-end coverage, from GRC to OT/ICS environments

// What Sets Us Apart
One team across GRC and OT: governance depth and hands-on technical assurance, without handing you between vendors.
What We Do
One team, across the risks you actually face
Our practice areas exist for one reason: to reduce the risks that actually threaten your business. Governance, testing, cloud, and OT, covered by one team, so nothing critical falls between vendors.
GRC & Compliance
Risk assessments, gap analyses, and compliance programmes aligned to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and regulatory mandates. Frameworks that work in practice, not just on audit day.
Penetration Testing
Web & API, mobile AppSec, infrastructure VAPT, structured to uncover real exploitable paths, not scan output. Every engagement includes a risk-ranked remediation roadmap.
vCISO Advisory
Fractional CISO services for companies that need senior security leadership without the full-time overhead. Strategy, programme oversight, board reporting, and vendor management.
Cloud Security
AWS, Azure, and GCP architecture reviews, IAM hardening, CSPM, and DevSecOps pipelines. Cloud-native and hybrid environments assessed by experienced cloud security practitioners.
OT Cyber Assurance
IEC 62443-aligned security for industrial and operational technology, SCADA, DCS, PLC systems. Risk-based assessments for manufacturing, utilities, and critical infrastructure.
Incident Response
Incident response and readiness — response plans, playbooks, and tabletop exercises delivered by us, with active response, forensics, and monitoring coordinated through vetted partners when an incident happens.
Why Choose Us
Your partner from risk to remediation
It comes down to one approach: start with your risk, scope only what your business needs, and stay accountable through remediation. No products pushed, no templates reused, no bloat billed, practitioners doing the work, and showing you exactly where you stand.
Built Around Your Risk
Every engagement is built around your actual environment, risk profile, and business context. Nothing reused, nothing bolted on, only what your situation calls for.
Accessible Security
Plain language, prioritised findings, and clear remediation steps. Security your technical and non-technical teams can both act on straight away.
Accountable Delivery
Practitioners who scope honestly, deliver what they commit to, and stay with you through remediation, not just the report.
Right-Sized Engagements
Focused scope matched to your real risk, so effort goes where it matters. You pay for the work that moves your security forward, nothing else.
One team
GRC to OT, no vendor hand-offs.
Direct access
Senior practitioners, not a ticket queue.
Remediation-tracked
prioritised and followed through to closure.
Core Values
What we actually believe about security.
Not a poster on the wall, the beliefs that shape how we engage with every client, every assessment, and every deliverable.
Honest Over Comfortable
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. A real risk assessment surfaces hard truths, that's the whole point. Comfortable advice that misses real risk isn't advice, it's liability.
Practitioner-Led, Always
Every engagement is led by someone who has actually done the work. Field experience is non-negotiable here, it's where accurate threat judgment comes from, not certifications alone.
Client as Partner
We work as an extension of your team, not a vendor checking boxes. Your security goals become our security goals, for the duration of the engagement and well after it's closed.
Security Made Accessible
Good security advice shouldn't need decoding. Our findings are clear, prioritised, and actionable for technical and leadership audiences alike. Managing the complexity is our job, not yours.
How We Work

shape every engagement.
Years of field experience distilled into a methodology that is repeatable, transparent, and built around your actual risk environment, not a generic template.
