About Us

Founded in 2004, Computer Network Defence Ltd (CND) is a leading provider of cyber security consultancy and managed services. With foundations in defence and intelligence, we deliver expert-driven solutions to government, military, and private sector organisations across the UK and internationally.

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of cyber security, including security architecture and engineering, threat intelligence, incident response, penetration testing, SOC operations, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), and our comprehensive Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) offerings.

Through our MSSP, clients benefit from both managed detection and response (MDR) and eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) on an ongoing basis. The monitoring services are delivered by experienced analysts and supported by cutting-edge technology. Our MSSP offerings also extend to phishing simulations and a managed cyber education service.

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, so do we. CND remains at the forefront of cyber security innovation, offering scalable, secure, and compliant solutions tailored to the needs of our clients. Our services are underpinned by internationally recognised standards, including ISO/IEC 27001 for information security and ISO 9001 for quality management, ensuring robust governance, service excellence, and continuous improvement.

Recognising the growing demand for cyber talent, CND embedded a dedicated cyber security recruitment team within our company, it is now the UK's oldest independent cyber security recruitment agency. This team sources and places exceptional professionals, both contract and permanent, across our internal operations and partner organisations. With deep sector knowledge and a commitment to ethical recruitment, we deliver technically informed, reliable, and responsive hiring solutions.
