Speak to the team

Over three decades of real-world cybersecurity experience

Long before ransomware became a global concern, STORM was pioneering digital forensics and advising law enforcement on emerging cybercrime threats.

We’ve supported agencies in the UK, U.S., and Mauritius - and have led the front-line response to over 1,000 serious cyber incidents across every major sector.

Our team includes former senior police investigators, intelligence analysts, cybercrime specialists and technical responders. Collectively, we’ve handled some of the most complex and high-stakes cases involving extortion, fraud, data breaches and insider threats.

Today, we bring that same depth of experience to organisations, insurers, and legal teams - helping them prepare for, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents with clarity, confidence and control.
