The mission behind Hedgehog

Hedgehog Security, a CREST, IASME, and NCSC-approved Cyber Security firm, stands at the forefront of the fight against cyber threats.

We specialise in Cyber Security Consulting, Offensive Security/Penetration Testing, Managed SIEM and Wazuh, and round-the-clock Security Monitoring via our advanced Security Operations Center.

Founded in response to the growing cyber threats and the global shortage of cybersecurity experts, Hedgehog Security has rapidly evolved into a global leader in the field. Our mission is underpinned by three core pillars: Detect, Disrupt, and Protect. These principles empower our clients with unparalleled detection capabilities and the agility to swiftly counter threats, ensuring minimal impact on their operations. At Hedgehog Security, we don’t just safeguard businesses; we fortify their future.

Hedgehog Security, now proudly part of the Cyber Defence Group, has been at the forefront of cybersecurity since its founding in 2010 by Peter Bassill. Our mission has always been to help organisations enhance their security posture by providing robust security assessment programmes, SOC as a Service, advanced penetration testing, and comprehensive vulnerability management and remediation solutions.

Now integrated into the global Cyber Defence Group, we continue to build on this legacy, delivering world-class cybersecurity services to clients worldwide. Our group leverages the combined expertise and resources of a global team to defend against emerging threats and ensure organisations remain resilient in an ever-changing threat landscape.

With decades of experience in security and risk management, we have supported numerous organisations in defining and implementing security best practices. From small businesses to global enterprises, we help secure environments against modern threats. Peter Bassill, who brings over 30 years of leadership in information security and risk management, remains a key figure in the organisation, driving our mission to protect and defend.
