Our story
Quorum Cyber was founded in 2016 to help organisations defend themselves in an increasingly unpredictable and hostile digital landscape. For several years prior to this, our founder & CEO Federico Charosky realised that more and more businesses were having to spend larger parts of their budgets on cyber security without having much visibility of what they were achieving or the value they received in return. There had to be a better way. So we offered a unique approach: a partnership model where we would tailor our services to our customers’ precise needs.
We believe that cyber security isn’t a technology problem, it’s a risk management problem that can be solved by people working together and communicating clearly. Our purpose is to take organisations on a risk reduction journey to consistently reduce their overall risk over time, while showing them what they’re achieving, deliver value for money and help them gain a return on their investment.
Today, we’ve grown organically to circa 200 employees who help defend more than 150 organisations in Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia. Our customers represent the public, non-profit and private sectors, including local and regional governments, charities, and companies in industries as varied as higher education, housing, law, insurance and financial services, energy, professional services and retail.
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security (formerly called a Gold Partner) and a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), we aspire to help defend as many businesses around the world as possible from emerging, evolving and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
Our Culture
We love learning, being curious and asking the question ‘why?’. On our first day in business we created a culture and an environment where everyone is free to be themselves, to perform at their best every day – with the aim to be even better tomorrow – and to support each other. If that sounds like something you want to be part of then see our vacancies today.
We’re passionate about your cyber security and we’re obsessed with helping you achieve your goals, whatever the world throws at you. Everything we do is geared towards securing your assets and your data, and protecting your customers and your brand reputation. We’re here to help you win.
That’s why we’ve recruited technology experts and are continually expanding the team to provide a broad range of services. In 2022 we established the Quorum Cyber Academy to develop a new wave of certified security professionals to serve our growing customer base around the globe.
While we’re focused on the present, we’re always thinking ahead so that we’re fully prepared for new trends in a constantly-changing digital world. With the launch of our Graduate Programme and our Graduate Apprenticeship Programme we’re nurturing the next generation of professionals to help protect organisations in all sectors of the economy. We believe cyber security is fundamentally about people, so we’re investing in them to help our customers win.
We know that we can’t stand still when it comes to building an inclusive workplace. That’s why we’re striving to improve our gender balance from the current proportion of 75% male (the industry is typically around 82% male). While we can’t achieve this overnight, we’re proud to sponsor the Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security programme in Scotland and for our employees to participate in the course. Alongside this, our Women in Quorum Cyber group is very active – and managed independently from HR – it ensures that Quorum Cyber is a comfortable place for women to work and achieve their career goals.
Meet the people who fight bullies every day of the year
We’re proud to have grown, in a relatively short space of time, into a company of professionals with varied backgrounds and perspectives, but with a single purpose. Our team is made up of almost 20 nationalities from Europe, North America. South America, Africa and Asia. It comprises experts with over 20 years in their careers through to enthusiastic newcomers with the latest certifications in cyber security. We believe this broad spectrum of knowledge, thought and perspective makes us stronger, more adaptable and more flexible so we’re better equipped to handle anything that comes your way.
Focus on customer advocacy
At Quorum Cyber, our approach has always been to manage and deliver services with our customers. Cyber security takes collaboration, which requires trust, transparency and great camaraderie to achieve the best results possible. With this in mind, our dedicated Customer Advocacy Director is focused on making sure that our customers achieve the outcomes they need, air their views and feedback, and receive maximum value from all their services. Ultimately, our sole purpose is to help you win.
