Cyber attacks are increasing in number and magnitude of damage.

Organisations today need a comprehensive understanding of their security and how to address it.
We are the partner that can own the outcome. We assess the risk and how it will impact your business, prioritise and execute with you using modern technology practices and tools, and leave behind a sustainable capability that improves your security posture through deep sustainable change.
Our approach
The traditional SDLC focusses on software development with security as an additional layer added in toward the end of the development process, often owned by a different team. The aim of the Secure SDLC is to understand security risks earlier and bake security into your applications from the outset. At CTO Labs we believe it’s important to have security as a fundamental part of building and maintaining software.
Frameworks
We utilise leading Industry Frameworks including OWASP SAMM which means we can keep up to date with emerging global cyber risks and responses, and have a solid foundation on which we overlay scanning tools and our own elements for a comprehensive maturity assessment.
