Keose
Cyber & physical security, privacy, due diligence, & investigations.
World-class services for individuals and small organisations facing serious security challenges.
'Keose': from the Old Norse word, Kios, meaning township, or a round hollow at the edge of the sea. A safe harbour against the tempestuous sea.
Fraud & cyber crime have merged
These days, our lives are digital, driving a surge in cyber-enabled fraud, which is now the UK's most commonly reported crime.
Digital & real-world threats have merged
Cyber crime has merged with real-world crime. Criminals use digital tracking to monitor targets' movements & plan attacks such as assaults or robberies. Real-world theft of mobile devices is used to gain access to email and bank accounts.
Data leaks & insecure systems imperil everyone
Most citizens will now have had their data leaked numerous times, which is used by criminals to steal identities & commit fraud, & to dox & harass victims. Meanwhile, big tech continues to push software & cloud services that are often grossly insecure.
Keose offers a 360 degree solution. We can secure your cloud accounts & also train you on avoiding phone robbery. We can coach you on how to keep your personal information out of data leaks & also investigate who is harassing you online using data that's already leaked. We can help you spot the most complex cyber-enabled fraud, & also help remediate the situation if the fraud succeeds.
Service Areas
Incident response
Defrauded, hacked, threatened, doxed, harassed, stalked or physically assaulted? We’ll help you respond professionally & cost-effectively, end to end. From immediate actions to stop the attack, through to helping you recover funds & deal with police, banks & regulators such as the Financial Ombudsman, we’ve got you covered.
Improvement
Once you’ve recovered from the incident, we’ll improve your security & privacy to make you a hard target for any future attacks.
We do this through training, locking down devices, cloud services & software, & implementing new security digital and physical systems where needed.

Full training on using the new tech.
Many individuals and small organisations operating in sectors like defence & security think they're too small to be noticed, but that's not true. If you've developed military or dual-use tech, or you're handling classified information as part of your service, you're likely to come onto the radar of foreign intelligence agencies & their proxies.
We provide assistance assistance in countering state-sponsored & corporate espionage, whether that's done through cyber attacks, human intelligence operations or technical surveillance (such as bugging premises).
