The breaches that hurt most don't start with sophisticated exploits. They start with people, decisions and context that no platform reads on its own. PGI helps leaders see which risks actually matter and build the judgement to act on them before they become incidents.
Most organisations are spending more on security than ever. Few can confidently answer the question their board keeps asking:
Which of these risks could actually hurt us?
The gap isn't tooling. It's interpretation. Dashboards may tell you what happened, but they don't tell you what it means, what to do about it or which of the thirty alerts in front of you is the one that will end up in tomorrow's headlines.
We are investigators, analysts and advisors. We use technology extensively, but we don't sell it as the answer.
What we do:
The result isn't a longer list of things to worry about. It's a shorter, sharper one. And the confidence to act on it.
The security industry has spent a decade automating detection. That work matters. But automation alone has never been enough, and the gap is widening: Adversaries adapt, supply chains become more complex, regulation tightens and the question of what is actually true about our risk gets harder, not easier.
That question needs people. People who investigate, interpret and bring judgement to bear. That's where we operate.
PGI were very flexible and patient around some of our hectic diary management, and very clear in what you were doing and how the project would progress. I understood the parameters and the red lines that you wouldn’t cross, and I had absolute clarity throughout. From an exercise point of view, there was nothing that could have been improved. The engagement definitely provided value to our organisation. Our internal security outcome provided us with valuable insights to strengthen our controls and address training gaps.
PGI’s tailored approach to designing and delivering realistic crisis scenarios has significantly enhanced our incident preparedness and resilience. The quarterly tabletop exercises and annual simulation exercises provided our teams with critical hands-on experience in responding to major incidents.Their ability to align the scenarios with real-world threats has been particularly beneficial, strengthening our response capabilities across the organisation.Through partnering with PGI, we have been able to further strengthen our ability to manage crises and ensure business continuity in the face of potential disruptions.
We've been working with PGI since 2018 to embed a cybersecurity culture within the Forestry Commission. The initial high-quality staff training we received led us to a wider cyber security programme that was rolled out to the whole organisation. Our goal was to provide all members of staff with a strong basis for managing cyber risk within their personal and professional lives, which PGI has helped us to achieve. Along with penetration testing and Cyber Essentials Plus also provided by PGI, we believe this approach helps mitigate cyber threat in our organisation. In addition to the high quality and tailored approach of PGI’s training, their ability to work with us to find the best methods for delivery has been vital to the success of building the department’s knowledge and awareness.
PGI has been our cyber security partner since 2015. We chose them because cyber security is a vital part of good IT practice, so being able to offer high-quality services in this area ensures our customers can get everything they need with us. We also have peace of mind knowing our customers are receiving great service. Our services take a tailored approach so that we can fully meet the needs of our customers, and PGI understands that, making them an excellent partner choice. They are people focused and, just like us, they take the time to understand their customer’s history, current situation, and future plans so that the solution they propose has taken everything into account. They have completed a range of engagements for our customers including but not limited to: penetration testing, Cyber Essentials Plus, helping our customers achieve and maintain ISO 22301 and 27001, PCI DSS and NIST. We’ve received a plethora of positive feedback about PGI over the years, so we continue to work with them.
PGI works with leaders across regulated industries, government and the private sector. If you'd like to understand how we'd approach your situation specifically, we're easy to reach.
