The mission behind Hedgehog

We specialise in Cyber Security Consulting, Offensive Security/Penetration Testing, Managed SIEM and Wazuh, and round-the-clock Security Monitoring via our advanced Security Operations Center.

Founded in response to the growing cyber threats and the global shortage of cybersecurity experts, Hedgehog Security has rapidly evolved into a global leader in the field. Our mission is underpinned by three core pillars: Detect, Disrupt, and Protect. These principles empower our clients with unparalleled detection capabilities and the agility to swiftly counter threats, ensuring minimal impact on their operations. At Hedgehog Security, we don’t just safeguard businesses; we fortify their future.

Hedgehog Security was established in 2010 by Peter Bassill with the vision to help companies improve their security posture by delivering security assessment programs, SOC as a Service, security penetration programs, and vulnerability and remediation programs.

We have extensive experience in security and risk management and has helped numerous companies define and implement security best practises ensuring that their environment is protected from threats. Peter has worked for over 30 years in Information Security and Risk Management and for 10 years as the CISO for FTSE250 businesses around the globe primarily responsible for Cyber Defence.

Security Experts supported by the Research: In addition to our extensive security knowledge, we have access to the world’s leading security researchers and thought leaders.  This enables our team to stay up to date with the latest security trends andthreats.

Focus on the root cause underlying security problems: Any firm can identify a few of the symptoms that result from security holes and weaknesses. However, problems cannot truly be addressed until the underlying root cause of the issue is a ddressed.  Otherwise, companies will continue to find that security problems arise at unexpected times. We help companies find and address the root causes underlying their security issues.

Comprehensive tools and processes to gather the right data: The accuracy of security data drives both the speed and accuracy of any security analysis. We use a combination of proprietary and public tools to ensure that they gather the most accurate data through efficient means.
