Penetration Testing in Staffordshire

A county we can reach without charging you for it

Albrighton sits on the Shropshire–Staffordshire border. Cannock is under half an hour, Stafford and Lichfield comfortably within the hour, Stoke-on-Trent a straightforward drive. Onsite work anywhere in the county carries no travel or accommodation charge — which over a three-day internal test is a real difference against a provider coming from Manchester or Birmingham.

Ceramics, manufacturing and industrial

The Potteries retains a substantial manufacturing base, and the county's industrial estates around Stoke, Burton and Tamworth house engineering and process businesses with the same recurring problem: valuable production systems that cannot tolerate downtime, running on IT accumulated over decades.

Operational technology needs care. Conventional active scanning can and does knock over legacy control systems, so we scope OT-adjacent work conservatively — assessing the IT/OT boundary and network segmentation rather than running scans against the plant floor.

Brewing, food and drink

Burton's brewing sector and the wider food production base across the county run process control, traceability and supply chain systems that are increasingly connected and rarely tested. Retailer and customer security requirements are the usual trigger for the first conversation.

Logistics and distribution

The M6 and A38 corridors make Staffordshire a national distribution centre. Warehouse management systems, customer portals and EDI integrations create genuine external exposure, and a compromised customer portal is a supply chain incident rather than an IT one.

Public sector, education and healthcare

Staffordshire County Council, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Keele and Staffordshire universities, the county's NHS organisations and a large number of schools and academy trusts. Procurement here frequently specifies CREST accreditation, which we hold at company level and which is independently verifiable.

How we deliver

Application, cloud and external infrastructure testing is delivered remotely — cheaper and no less effective. Internal infrastructure testing, incident response and tabletop exercises are delivered onsite where that adds value, at no travel cost anywhere in the county.
