AI security and cyber resilience consultancy. Specialist experience in NGOs, arms-length public bodies, and health-adjacent charities, the organisations most exposed and least protected.
Get in Touch Our ServicesPractical expertise in cyber resilience, AI security, and governance for mission-driven organisations
Cyber security roadmaps aligned with NIST, CIS Controls, and Cyber Essentials, built around your risk appetite and board-level obligations, not generic best practice.
Governance and oversight for AI systems in production, including agentic AI, autonomous decision-making, and the emerging risks that most organisations haven't yet planned for.
Evaluate your current cyber posture against recognised frameworks. Identify the gaps that matter most, prioritise investment, and build a practical path forward.
Design and governance of AI-driven detection, investigation, and response. Reduce dependency on round-the-clock human monitoring while maintaining accountability and audit capability.
We work with organisations that operate under real constraints: funding pressures, regulatory scrutiny, and the expectation of doing more with less. That's where our experience sits.
Complex, multi-country IT environments. Donor reporting obligations. High exposure to targeted attacks on humanitarian data and beneficiary records, with limited in-house security resource.
PSN compliance, Cyber Essentials requirements, and public accountability, combined with the governance complexity of organisations that sit between government and the market.
Working alongside NHS systems and DCB standards without the full NHS resource base. Patient-adjacent data, clinical partnerships, and the regulatory expectations that come with them.

Intelligent Resilience is a specialist consultancy focused on AI security, cyber resilience, and governance, with particular depth in the sectors that are most exposed and least well served by mainstream providers.
We help organisations move from reactive, fragmented cyber security to intelligent, resilient operations. That means building strategies that hold up under pressure, governance frameworks that boards can actually use, and operating models designed for organisations that can't staff a 24/7 SOC.
Longer-form exploration of ideas that don't fit a fortnightly briefing. Questions without settled answers, connections worth making, and positions we're prepared to defend.
Zero-knowledge proofs were built to solve a problem in cryptography: how do you prove you know something without revealing it? It turns out the same question is now central to AI governance. What tamper-proof AI verification actually means in practice, and why the DeFi world solved this problem first.
Read the piece →Resilience is not the same as robustness. An organisation that survives a cyber incident unchanged hasn't built resilience. It's got lucky. Nassim Taleb's antifragility principle applied to agentic AI: why the goal is to build systems that improve because of failure, not merely prevent it.

Read the piece →Regulators and boards are asking for audit trails. But the audit trail concept was built for human decisions: discrete, attributable, reversible. When an autonomous agent makes ten thousand micro-decisions in the course of a single task, what does accountability actually look like?
