Sleep soundly knowing your defences have been tested by the best. We find the gaps before the bad actors do — so you can focus on running your business, not fighting fires.
You didn't build your business to spend your nights worrying about cyber attacks. We exist so you don't have to. Our job is to make you untouchable — and prove it.
Know that your systems have been stress-tested by certified ethical hackers. When you've been cleared by Hedgehog, you can switch off at night — because we've already tried everything the adversaries will.
Cyber Essentials certification isn't just good practice — it's a competitive advantage. Many government and enterprise contracts require it. We get you certified faster, so you can win the work.
A breach doesn't just cost money — it costs trust. Clients, partners, and regulators need to know you take security seriously. Proactive testing proves you do, before an incident forces the conversation.
From GDPR to PCI DSS, regulatory frameworks increasingly mandate penetration testing. We make compliance painless and deliver audit-ready reports that satisfy even the most demanding assessors.
The average UK data breach costs £3.4 million. A penetration test costs a fraction of that. Prevention is always cheaper than cure — and immeasurably less stressful than incident response at 3am.
Security shouldn't slow you down. Our testing integrates with your development cycle, giving you rapid feedback that lets you ship with confidence. Secure code is fast code.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. We specialise in two things and we do them exceptionally well.
We think like attackers so you don't have to. Our CREST-certified testers simulate real-world attack scenarios against your infrastructure, applications, and people — then hand you a clear roadmap to resilience.
The UK Government's baseline security certification, handled end-to-end. We guide you through the process, handle the audit, and get you certified — with minimal disruption to your day.
We come from the DEFCON trenches — CTF winners, bug bounty hunters, and red team operators who've seen the worst the internet has to offer. We channel that knowledge into defending your organisation with the same creativity and tenacity the real adversaries use.
But we also speak your language. Our reports are clear. Our advice is practical. And our mission is simple: make you so hard to breach that attackers move on to easier prey.
"Hedgehog found vulnerabilities in our infrastructure that two previous providers had missed entirely. Their reporting was exceptional — the board understood the risks immediately, and the engineering team had a clear remediation plan within the hour."
— Chief Technology Officer, UK Financial Services FirmA straightforward, transparent process designed to give you maximum insight with minimum disruption.
We sit down with you — no charge — to understand your environment, your concerns, and your objectives. We define the scope, agree the rules of engagement, and set expectations.
Our certified testers get to work. We use the same tools, techniques, and mindset as real threat actors — combined with industry-standard methodologies like OWASP, PTES, and OSSTMM.
Our certified testers get to what they really enjoy. We dont just tell you there is a exploit, we will show you it as a controlled proof of concept attack.
You receive a comprehensive report with every finding categorised by risk, clear evidence, and actionable remediation guidance. We walk you through it in person — no jargon, no ambiguity.
Fix the issues at your pace. When you're ready, we retest — included in the price — to verify every vulnerability has been properly closed. You get a clean bill of health, in writing.
We hold the industry's most respected accreditations — because when it comes to testing your defences, credentials matter.
Every day you delay is another day your vulnerabilities sit undetected. Let's change that. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation scoping call.
Whether you need a full penetration test or a Cyber Essentials certification, we're here to help. Drop us a message and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
