Ashcairn works with leadership teams on the technology and cyber risks that actually matter. Clarity on exposure, cost, and what to do about it.
Boutique by design, owner-led in delivery. You work directly with senior advisors whose background spans cyber risk consulting, insurance, threat intelligence, and operational continuity.
We help leadership teams make sound cybersecurity decisions grounded in real threats and commercial reality. Our threat-led approach means security investment is directed where it reduces risk and protects business value — not where it looks good in a report.
"No layers between the problem and the people solving it. We kept it that way deliberately."
Most risk assessments describe categories. We identify the specific threats your organisation faces: who, how, and from where. Then give you an accurate picture of your exposure.
We translate technical risk into financial terms. What would an incident cost in operations, revenue, and recovery? We give leadership something concrete to work with.
The right answer is one you can implement. We design solutions around your risk appetite and your budget. Not around what looks credible in a report.
Careers built across the major advisory firms. When you work with Ashcairn, you work with us — directly.

Supporting a renewable infrastructure asset manager to uplift cybersecurity across thermal electricity generating sites
The client was early in their security journey with no in-house expertise. Unable to secure cyber insurance at a workable price, they faced real financial exposure. Previous vendors had produced solutions that were technically coherent but commercially undeliverable. Too costly and too compliance-heavy to actually implement.
We went to the sites and worked directly with the people running them. Using a business risk-based methodology, we worked out what an incident would actually cost — then designed a right-sized security approach built around what the client could genuinely deliver. We stripped back anything that existed to look good rather than to work.
