Cyber security is not just a protective layer, it must be embedded in system architecture, operational procedures, and delivery governance from the outset. AltaEdge applies a cyber-by-design approach that integrates security considerations into every stage of a system’s lifecycle.
From early-stage architecture and procurement through integration, operation, and disposal, we support clients in building systems that can withstand threats and remain effective under cyber duress.
Our services include:
- Cyber risk assessment and threat modelling
- Security architecture design and documentation
- Secure system engineering and assurance
- Cybersecurity requirements definition and traceability
- Implementation support aligned with NIST CSF and ISO 27001
- Audit readiness and certification support
- Through-life cyber risk management and incident response planning
We also offer support with Defence Cyber Protection Partnership (DCPP) compliance, JSP 604, and broader MOD cyber directives.
AltaEdge operates in alignment with globally recognised frameworks, including:
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) – Used to assess, structure, and enhance cyber maturity across systems and organisations.
- ISO/IEC 27001 – For building and managing certified Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
- NIST SP 800 series – For technical controls, assessment, and system security engineering.
By using established standards, we help defence organisations ensure consistency, interoperability, and auditability across systems and supply chains.
We understand the specific demands of MOD environments, where cyber requirements intersect with mission criticality, safety, and operational resilience. AltaEdge supports MOD projects with:
- Cyber contributions to System Safety and Airworthiness Cases
- Defence Lines of Development (DLoD) alignment, including Training and Personnel
- Integration with wider acquisition governance and system-of-systems frameworks
- Risk ownership and cyber threat articulation for SROs and SIROs
- Support for secure by default and secure by design principles in engineering delivery
Whether working on shipboard systems, tactical networks, platform integration, or infrastructure projects, we ensure cyber assurance is technically sound, context-aware, and programmatically aligned.
Cyber risk extends beyond internal systems. AltaEdge supports government and defence organisations in understanding and mitigating risks across complex supplier networks.
We help:
- Assess supplier cyber maturity and compliance
- Define cyber security requirements in contracts and technical specifications
- Monitor supply chain cyber assurance activities
- Conduct independent cyber audits and gap analysis
Our approach helps MOD clients maintain confidence across the entire delivery ecosystem.
Cyber resilience is a continuous process. AltaEdge offers managed cyber services that support through-life monitoring, maintenance, and improvement.
Our support includes:
- Cyber risk registers and action plans
- Regular cyber posture reviews
- Threat intelligence integration and situational awareness
- Incident response planning and simulation
- Business continuity and recovery planning
We can also embed cyber specialists into project teams or deliver stand-alone cyber workstreams, depending on your operational needs.
AltaEdge is committed to strengthening national resilience by helping MOD and Government organisations navigate complex cyber challenges with confidence. We deliver cyber services that are technically robust, operationally realistic, and standards-aligned, ensuring systems are protected, compliant, and mission-ready.
