Wow, how time flies! Three years ago I co-founded Predatech and what a journey it’s been!

From very humble beginnings, I’m proud that we’ve established the business as a trusted cyber security partner to over 170 clients, including some of the largest organisations across the world.

Along the way there’s been a few big milestones. Becoming one of the fastest growing IASME Certification Bodies for Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus and obtaining CREST accreditation for our penetration testing services stand out in particular. This year we’ve doubled the team, attended DEF CON in Las Vegas for the first time, and worked on many exciting engagements which have helped our clients to strengthen their security.

Of course none of this would have been possible without the dedication of our team. Thank you for being a part of Predatech and for continuing to go above and beyond in helping our clients manage the growing and evolving cyber security threat.

And while each of the last three years has brought new opportunities, our focus on delivering expert cyber security, excellent service, and value for money remains at the heart of Predatech.

Looking to the future, here are some of the key areas we’ll be focusing on in the New Year:

• Team Growth: Continuing to expand and develop our talented team to enhance our capabilities and better serve our clients.
• Service Development: Working closely with our clients to ensure that our services meet their evolving needs and keep us at the forefront of security testing.
• Strengthening Partnerships: We’ll aim to strengthen our existing partnerships and begin a few more; further improving our processes so that our partners continue to receive a high quality service.
• British Data Awards: We’ll once again champion the UK’s data success stories and recognise the teams and individuals that are passionate about delivering excellence.

Over the Christmas break, I’ll be raising a glass to the past and looking forward to the start of 2024. I’d like to express my thanks to everyone who has been a part of our journey. Your trust and support have been the driving force behind our success, and I can’t wait to continue this journey with you after the festive break!
