We're best known for financial services and other highly regulated organisations, but our clients also span hospitality, retail, manufacturing and professional services, amongst others.

CREST is the international benchmark for technical security services; an accredited SOC has had its people, processes and methodologies independently audited against rigorous standards, so quality is externally verified rather than self-declared. For regulated buyers it's fast becoming a baseline expectation. Talanos's SOC is CREST-accredited.

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management. Certification means an external auditor has verified we run a systematic, continually-reviewed programme for protecting information — and for many regulated and financial-services clients it's a procurement requirement, so it clears a hurdle before conversations even start. Talanos is ISO 27001 certified.

We're a remote-first organisation, and our analysts and engineers work across the UK, India and South Africa — a deliberate spread that lends itself to genuine round-the-clock coverage, with people watching your environment during their working hours rather than a skeleton overnight shift. Our clients tend to span the same regions.

Average tenure across the team is seven and a half years — well above the industry norm. In practice it means the people watching your environment are consistent: they know your estate, your baseline and your quirks, so nothing's lost to constant re-onboarding or handovers.

We deliberately partner with best-of-breed specialists across the stack rather than tying you to one proprietary platform — part of why there's no lock-in and why we can strengthen what you already run. Our partners include Risk Ledger (third-party / supply-chain risk), Qualys (vulnerability management), LevelBlue (managed detection and SIEM), horizon3.ai (continuous, autonomous penetration testing) and Searchlight Cyber (dark web monitoring).

Talanos is part of the NCSC's Industry 100 (i100) scheme. i100 is the NCSC's principal initiative for collaborating with UK industry, bringing public and private-sector talent together — in practice, organisations second people into the NCSC part-time to contribute their expertise to national cyber-security work. For you, it means our thinking stays plugged into the national threat picture and the priorities of the UK's technical authority on cyber.

Data protection sits at the core of how we operate, and it's independently assured — we're ISO 27001 certified and Cyber Essentials Plus certified, both externally audited rather than self-declared. In practice that means your data is encrypted in transit and at rest; access is granted on a strict least-privilege basis, protected by multi-factor authentication and logged, so only the people who genuinely need it can reach it. Because our team is deliberately spread across the UK, India and South Africa, we know data residency matters to regulated organisations — so where your data is stored, who can access it and how long it's retained are governed by formal policy and set out in your contract. If you have specific data-residency or sovereignty requirements, tell us and we'll walk you through exactly how your data is handled.
