Cyber Security
by Industry.
Your sector, covered.
Every industry has unique threats, compliance requirements, and attack surfaces. We tailor our offensive and defensive expertise to the specific risks of your sector.

Your industry has specific threats. We test for them.
A financial services firm faces different threat actors than an NHS trust. A law firm's data exposure risk looks nothing like a university's. Generic penetration testing treats every organisation the same. We scope every engagement against the regulatory frameworks your auditors expect and the attack patterns that actually target your industry.
Precursor holds triple CREST accreditation: Penetration Testing, Vulnerability Assessment, and SOC. Fewer than 70 firms globally hold both Penetration Testing and SOC accreditation. Your consultants are individually CREST-certified, not just the organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about sector-specific cyber security, pricing, and compliance coverage.
We deliver sector-specific cyber security across eight industries: Healthcare, Financial Services, Government and Public Sector, Energy and Utilities, Education, Retail and E-commerce, Legal, and Property and Real Estate. Every engagement begins with regulatory scoping and threat-actor profiling specific to your sector, so testing mirrors the real-world risks your organisation faces rather than following a generic checklist.
Penetration testing starts from £2,500 for a focused web application assessment, 24/7 managed SOC monitoring from £900 per month, and Cyber Essentials certification from £300. Final pricing depends on scope, environment size, and compliance requirements. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free 30-minute scoping call so there are no surprises.
We support a wide range of UK and international frameworks including NHS DSPT, GDPR, PCI DSS v4.0, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, DORA, NIS2, NCSC CAF, DfE Cyber Standards, SRA compliance for law firms, and the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill 2025. Our consultants map assessment findings directly to the controls relevant to your industry.
Yes. We schedule all testing around clinical workflows and operational windows agreed with your IT and clinical teams. Our consultants are experienced with NHS environments, EPR systems, and medical device networks. We have never caused unplanned downtime during a healthcare engagement. All testing follows a pre-agreed rules of engagement document that protects critical patient-facing systems.
Yes. We work with individual schools, multi-academy trusts, further education colleges, and Russell Group universities. We offer scaled pricing for education budgets, with Cyber Essentials certification for schools starting from £300. Our education engagements cover DfE Cyber Standards, Jisc recommendations, and the specific phishing and ransomware threats targeting the sector.
General testing follows a standard methodology regardless of industry. Sector-specific testing adapts the threat model to match real attack patterns targeting your industry, scopes assessments against the compliance frameworks your regulators expect, and accounts for operational constraints like clinical uptime windows or trading hours. The result is findings that are immediately actionable within your regulatory and operational context.
