Forrit is a leading provider of cloud-native content management systems (CMSs) built for highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. With a promise of “enterprise-grade security, rapid scalability, and global controls,” Forrit powers digital experiences for respected global organisations including Lloyd’s, NHS Scotland, Tesco Bank, and Craneware.

Challenge: Safeguarding trust in a high-stakes industry

As a member of the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISEC), Forrit needed a trusted cyber security partner to protect its product, data, and customers – around the clock. The company sought a partner who could:

• Respond swiftly to potential cyber incidents
• Offer proactive consulting and security advice
• Anticipate and defend against tomorrow’s evolving threats.

“Our customers operate in some of the world’s most regulated industries, there’s absolutely no room for compromise on security,” says Peter Proud, CEO, Forrit. “We needed a partner that could match our standards for trust, transparency, and technical excellence.”

Solution: A strategic partnership with Quorum Cyber

Forrit’s CMS platform is deployed within each customer’s own Azure subscription – a design that demands deep Microsoft security expertise and seamless collaboration between Forrit, Quorum Cyber, and end customers.

The partnership, which began in 2018, has grown steadily based on three pillars:

• Partnership: Built on a strong foundation of trust and collaboration
• Service Fit: A perfect alignment with Forrit’s Microsoft-based architecture and operational model
• Confidence: A proven track record of delivering high-quality, responsive cyber security services.

“Quorum Cyber feels like an extension of our own team,” adds Proud. “They understand our technology and our customers, and they share our commitment to keeping them safe.”

Outcome: Confidence, clarity, and continuous protection

To ensure comprehensive coverage, Forrit adopted Quorum Cyber’s Clarity Extend, an enhanced detection and response service covering the entire IT estate. The service is powered by a global Security Operations Centre (SOC) spanning the UK, US, and Canada, supported by Threat Intelligence (TI), Incident Response (IR), and threat-hunting specialists.

Together, they continue to deliver secure, resilient solutions for Forrit’s customers. Furthermore, for its cloud-first ambitions, Forrit needed an expert partner, fluent in Microsoft security. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security and member of the Microsoft Intelligence Security Association (MISA), Quorum Cyber matched all the main requirements.

As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security and member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), Quorum Cyber provides the advanced expertise Forrit needs to deliver secure, scalable CMS solutions to regulated enterprises.

“With Quorum Cyber watching over our environment, we have absolute confidence that we’re protected; before, during, and after any cyber incident,” says Proud. “That peace of mind means we can focus on what we do best: helping our customers deliver exceptional digital experiences.”

How services evolved over time

Since the partnership began in 2018, Forrit and Quorum Cyber have built a strong, collaborative relationship rooted in trust, shared goals, and technical alignment. Over the past seven years, the partnership has evolved in several ways:

• As Forrit’s CMS platform matured, so did the complexity of its security needs. Quorum Cyber has consistently adapted, integrating more deeply into our architecture and workflows, to ensure robust protection across customer environments
• Together, they’ve supported a growing number of enterprise clients, delivering secure, resilient solutions tailored to their operational models. Quorum Cyber’s ability to work seamlessly with both Forrit and its customers has been a cornerstone of that success
• Seven years of consistent delivery, responsiveness, and shared values have built a solid foundation of trust.

Positive outcomes

The benefits of Clarity Extend go far beyond cyber security alone. The service empowers Forrit to formalise and fast-track responses to potential cyber incidents, shifting from reactive defence to proactive resilience. Together, Forrit and Quorum Cyber establish a clear baseline of normal business behaviour, enabling them to spot, investigate, and neutralise anomalies before they escalate. This partnership model also lets Forrit maintain a lean, high-impact security team, confident that the Quorum Cyber experts are proactively acting on their behalf, providing trusted, around-the-clock support. This assurance frees Forrit to focus its resources on innovation and product excellence, keeping its customers equipped with the most advanced CMS solution on the market.

Clarity Extend also enables Forrit to meet its regulatory obligations under the Bank of England’s Prudential Regulation Authority, the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, ensuring robust operational resilience, cyber risk management, and compliance with evolving industry requirements.

With Clarity Extend, Forrit doesn’t just tick cyber security boxes, it shows customers, investors, and partners that it’s guarded by top-tier protection 24/7. They have immediate access to a proactive, threat-led partner ready to detect, analyse, and respond to threats in real time, keeping their business one step ahead of cybercriminals.

“Our long-term partnership with Quorum Cyber is a cornerstone of our business,” says Peter Proud. “They really care about our security, and that of our customers, and go beyond the simple short-term business transaction model.”

“Working with Quorum Cyber gives us the confidence to deliver secure services to our customers to meet their objectives and satisfy their regulatory requirements,” says Doug Cunningham, Forrit Chief Technology Officer. “Without this partnership, we wouldn’t be able to deliver this level of service. Quorum Cyber isn’t just a supplier – they’re a long-term partner invested in our mission and growth.”

“We share Forrit’s commitment to protecting customers from cyber threats,” says Federico Charosky, CEO, Quorum Cyber. “Together, we’re safeguarding their customers and enabling trust in every digital interaction.”
