Quorum Cyber was founded on the belief that organisations need to collaborate to successfully combat the growing threat posed by cybercriminals. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security with offices across the UK and North America, we’re always looking for opportunities to team up with other security companies who share our philosophy of putting customers at the centre of everything we do.
While some of our partners are located around the globe, one is very close to home. Earlier this year, i-confidential moved into the same building as Quorum Cyber’s UK headquarters, in South Gyle, Edinburgh.
Founded in 2008, the company provides tailored cyber security and technology risk solutions to a diverse range of customers across the UK and internationally. Since transitioning to an employee-owned model in 2018, i-confidential has embraced a business structure that deeply values and integrates the contributions of its employees. This ownership model means that employees hold a stake in the company, are invested in its success, and play an active role in shaping its future.
The company, which reached The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2024 list, is committed to employee wellbeing, championing diversity and inclusion, and nurturing and developing the next generation of talent for the cyber security industry.
i-confidential’s solutions centre on three key areas:
- Smart Prioritisation: providing a comprehensive understanding of cyber security and technology risk exposure, identifying actionable priorities for investment that focus on high-impact risk reduction
- Compliance Blueprints: using established methods for adopting best-practice frameworks, standards, and regulations, ensuring successful and sustainable implementation
- Specialist Expertise: teams of highly skilled professionals who bring their broad experience and knowledge to effectively address complex challenges.
These attributes tie in very well with Quorum Cyber, one of the fastest-growing cyber security companies in the UK and North America. A member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), the company provides managed and professional services to protect over 400 customers on four continents. In September 2024, Quorum Cyber acquired Difenda, a cyber security company headquartered in Ontario, Canada, to strengthen its position as a global leader of Microsoft Security services. This was closely followed in December 2024 by the acquisition of US-based Kivu Consulting, a global cyber security firm with world-leading incident response capabilities.
Serving customers today and planning for tomorrow
i-confidential and Quorum Cyber have worked together on behalf of a number of businesses in the UK, particularly in the financial services and insurance (FS&I) industry where the procurement process can be complex and arduous. There are massive benefits for all when partners team up to deliver comprehensive, joined-up solutions for customers.
When required, Quorum Cyber also uses i-confidential’s extensive resource network to boost its own capacity. For example, after a surge in demand for consultancy projects, Quorum Cyber needed some short-term data security expertise. i-confidential’s dedicated talent acquisition team was able to source high-calibre individuals at short notice, which really helped to ensure the project was delivered on time.
We are working on growing this partnership, and continue to explore how we can support each other and our customers.
“In our experience, building strong relationships with our customers and spending a lot of time getting to know their organisation, culture, and objectives, yields major dividends in terms of helping them address their security goals and concerns,” says Louise Beattie, i-confidential’s Chief Operating Officer.
“When security specialists collaborate, we can create the best services and solutions for our customers,” says Federico Charosky, CEO of Quorum Cyber. “By bringing together our different ideas, viewpoints, and unique skills we can become much more than the sum of our parts and better serve the many organisations that depend on us to protect them every day of the year.”
