Qualified. Proven. Trusted.

Years of hands-on experience across offensive testing and defensive operations, backed by the certifications that matter to UK businesses, government frameworks, and cyber insurance underwriters.

OSCP

OffSec Certified Professional

Certified to compromise systems using real-world attack techniques — the same body that certifies testing for UK government and banking security teams.

OSWE

OffSec Web Expert

Expert-level web application exploitation, covering the identification and abuse of complex vulnerabilities in modern web applications and APIs.

CRT

CREST Registered Penetration Tester

CREST is recognised by NCSC, UK insurance underwriters, and financial services regulators. CRT is a contractual requirement for many UK government engagements.

PraCSP

Practitioner, UK Cyber Security Council

Recognised practitioner status from the UK's national professional body for the cyber security sector — the equivalent of chartered status in other regulated professions.

Why these certifications matter for your business: CREST, OffSec, and IASME certifications are referenced in NCSC guidance, required by UK government procurement frameworks, and used by cyber insurance underwriters to assess the quality and validity of security engagements. IASME Cyber Assurance is the NCSC-recommended framework for SMEs. When Solusec works with your organisation, you can demonstrate to your insurer, your clients, and your board that the work was carried out to the required standard.

A Small Team.
A Big Difference.

Solusec was founded by Daly Whyte, a UK-based cyber security specialist with hands-on experience across both sides of the fence — from breaking into systems during penetration tests to building and leading the security programmes that defend them.

You will not deal with a sales team, a project manager, or a junior analyst. Every engagement is delivered personally by a qualified and experienced expert, meaning faster turnaround, clearer communication, and advice that makes sense to both your IT team and your board.

Beyond client work, original vulnerability research has led to multiple publicly disclosed CVEs in commercial products from global manufacturers, alongside being one of the most consistent ethical hackers globally with the Synack Red Team.
