HACKED.
Better by us than by them.
No nonsense. Straight to the point.

/ THE REALITY
Everyone's a target.
01
~50%
of all cyber-attacks now hit small and mid-sized organisations — not just the enterprises with big security budgets.
02
9 in 10
breaches start with a person, not a firewall. People are the weakest link — and the part most companies forget to harden.
03

You can't defend an attack surface you've never mapped. Cloud, code, identity, third parties — every touchpoint is a way in.

/ WHO WE ARE
Small and agile.
Senior and deep.
Acta Security is an offensive-first cybersecurity practice. A lean, senior team with deep governance and architecture expertise — built to make real security accessible to organisations of every size, not just the ones who can buy a SOC.
85+
years of combined experience across offence, defence and governance.

/ HOW WE WORK
Five phases. One moving target.
PHASE_01
Recon & scoping
We map your true attack surface — cloud, code, identity, third parties, people — and agree the rules of engagement. No surprises, no scope creep.
↳ 3–5 DAYS
PHASE_02
Offensive engagement
Senior operators execute the agreed playbook — pentest, red team or full adversary emulation — chaining real vectors against real business outcomes.
↳ 2–6 WEEKS
PHASE_03
Findings & debrief
Two audiences, two debriefs: engineers get reproducible exploit chains; the board gets a one-page risk picture in plain language.
↳ 1 WEEK
PHASE_04
Defensive uplift
We sit with your team and close the gaps — detection rules, hardened configs, IR playbooks — then go purple and re-run the attack against the new defences.
↳ 4–8 WEEKS
PHASE_05
Continuous assurance
Monthly threat-intel briefings, quarterly retesting, on-demand IR. The goal isn't a clean report — it's a target that keeps moving.
↳ ONGOING

/ WHY ACTA
Why teams choose us.
01
Accessible by design
Security shouldn't be a luxury. We make it work for small and mid-sized teams — and give non-profits a discount, because everyone deserves access.
02
Offensive-first
We think like the attacker — because on the day, we are the attacker. On your side, before the real one shows up.
03
Deep where it counts
Senior operators with real governance and architecture expertise. No junior hand-offs, no box-ticking, no filler.
04
Measurable outcomes
We don't sell fear. We close gaps and prove it with retesting — security you can show your board and your auditors.
