Cyber security is a Key business risk
Lockdown was founded by business people not IT people, we aim to demystify Cyber Security, to make it simple to understand and to allow business leaders to make informed cyber decisions. Our 8 services’ pillars act as a framework guide.
We seek to work with customers who are aligned to our beliefs, that seek Cyber Security by design, proactively baked into every business process and every decision. We believe the right Cyber Security posture providers a competitive advantage. Ongoing investment and expertise in Cyber Security is a necessity not a choice, especially in a world where AI is weaponising cyber-attacks.
A cyber incident can disrupt operations, delay trading, trigger significant financial cost, be emotionally draining and can damage trust and business value, often at speed.
Accountability sits at board and senior leadership level: setting the risk appetite and tolerance, ensuring appropriate controls and investment, layering cyber security across an organisation and being ready to make decisions under pressure, to bounce back faster. In practice, strong cyber governance needs compliance but also means clear ownership, clear priorities, and confidence that resilience is built into how the business runs. Through our services we seek to be a trusted partner for your journey.
Enhancing cyber resilience
Lockdown is a “cyber security concierge” with a strong partner network of global experts, products and services. We are agile, delivering and scaling services as and when needed, not restricted by in-house capability or capacity.
We get to grips with problem statements, match to solution options and expertise based on need and budget. Translating cyber risk into clear priorities and practical next steps.
We’re transparent about what we can and can’t do, and we don’t waste your time. No scare tactics or fear-selling. Just honest guidance, localised expertise, and delivery that sticks, helping your team adopt what matters, strengthen resilience, and reduce business risk as you innovate and grow.
Trust and reputation are key in cyber security, so we have a former City of London Police Commissioner, Ian Dyson CBE on our board, alongside a former Bank of England CISO as a technical advisor. Lockdown are trusted delivery partners of UK Regulators, CNI organisations and government departments.
In short: we solve real problems, not create new ones.

Cyber security in business
We make cyber risk visible
Cyber security is complex but getting help shouldn’t be. Our approach is designed to make it easy for decision-makers to recognise their real risks, understand what to do next, and move forward with confidence.
We lead with problem statements, not a long list of services. Clarity comes before complexity. Cyber risk is translated into board-level language, turning it into a business conversation about priorities, trade-offs, controls and outcomes. When specialist delivery is needed, the concierge model brings in the right expertise for the job, filtering out “sales wolves” and keeping accountability anchored to results.
Holistic Cyber Maturity Framework
Lockdown’s Holistic Cyber Maturity Framework uses eight connected pillars: People & training | Process, certification & testing | Technology & monitoring | Operations & OT | Supply chain assurance | Threat intelligence | Incident response | Cyber insurance – to show that cyber security isn’t a single tool or an “IT job,” but a whole-business discipline.
Each pillar covers a different part of how risk is created, reduced, and managed, and they’re designed to work together: strengthen one area and you support the others; ignore one and gaps appear.
Think of it like a jigsaw : you don’t get resilience from one perfect piece – you get it from the full picture, where training, governance, technical controls, preparedness, third-party risk, visibility, and recovery all fit together into a joined-up, practical programme the board can understand and own.
