About us

Founded in Edinburgh in 2023, Safespy was created to bridge the gap between technical cyber intelligence and board-level decision-making. Our team has led national-level crisis simulations, authored international resilience standards, and advised across energy, finance, transport, and manufacturing.

We specialise in helping organisations:

See their real cyber exposures before attackers do
Test and strengthen their response and continuity plans under realistic pressure
Align resilience with regulatory requirements (NIS2, DORA, ISO, CAF, FCA/PRA, UK Cyber Resilience Bill)
Build confidence at board level and across the supply chain
