Why Trust Us
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.
Company Accreditations
These are held by Solusec as a business, independently assessed and audited: distinct from the individual certifications our testers hold below. For procurement teams, insurers and public sector buyers, these are the ones that get checked.
Certifications Our Team Holds
Held by the individuals doing the work rather than by the business: these tell you who is actually on the other end of the engagement.
OSCP & OSWE
OffSec Certified Professionals & Web Experts
Certified to compromise systems using real-world attack techniques: the same body that certifies testing for UK government and banking security teams. Experts in web applications.
CRT
CREST Registered Penetration Tester
An individual CREST qualification held by our testers, sitting alongside our company-level CREST accreditation above. CRT is a contractual requirement for many UK government engagements.
PraCSP
Practitioner, UK Cyber Security Council
Practitioner-level registration on the UK Cyber Security Council's professional register — the national register of recognised practitioners for the cyber security sector.
CSOM
Certified Security Operations Manager, Centri
Certified to plan, lead, and manage security operations functions, including detection, incident response, and SOC management.
CISSP
Certified Information Systems Security Professional
One of the most globally recognised senior security certifications: covering security architecture, risk management, governance, and compliance. Required across enterprise and government security programmes.
BTL2
Blue Team Level 2, Centri
An advanced blue team certification assessed through hands-on threat hunting and incident response rather than multiple choice: the defensive counterpart to the offensive certifications opposite.
Who We Are
A Small Team.
A Big Difference.
Solusec was founded and is led by Daly Whyte: years spent breaking into systems, and years more building and leading the programmes that defend them. That full-spectrum background is the point — we work across offensive testing, certification and compliance, and monitoring and incident response, and you deal directly with a senior expert from the first scoping call through to the work being delivered.
You won’t deal with a sales team or a junior analyst. Whether it’s a penetration test, Cyber Essentials or responding to a live incident, every engagement is delivered personally by a cyber security expert: technical enough for your IT team to action, plain enough for your board to sign off.
