Crossword Cybersecurity Plc

Crossword offers a range of cybersecurity solutions to help companies understand and reduce cybersecurity risk. We do this through a combination of people and technology, in the form of SaaS and software products, consulting, and managed services.

Crossword’s areas of emphasis are cybersecurity strategy and risk, supply chain cyber, threat detection and response, and digital identity and the aim is to build up a portfolio of cybersecurity products and services with recurring revenue models in these four areas. We work closely with UK universities and our products and services are often powered by academic research-driven insights. In the area of cybersecurity strategy and risk our consulting services include cyber maturity assessments, industry certifications, and virtual chief information security officer (vCISO) managed services.

Our end-to-end supply chain cyber standard operating model (SCC SOM) is supported by our best-selling SaaS platform, Rizikon Assurance, along with cost-effective cyber audits, security testing services and complete managed services for supply chain cyber risk management. Threat detection and response services include our Nightingale AI-based network monitoring, Nixer to protect against application layer DDoS attacks, our Trillion and Arc breached credentials tracking platforms, and incident response.

Our work in digital identity is based on the World Wide Web Consortium W3C verifiable credentials standard and our current solution, Identiproof, enables secure digital verification of individuals to prevent fraud. Crossword serves medium and large clients including FTSE and S&P listed companies in various sectors, such as defence, insurance, investment and retail banks, private equity, education, technology and manufacturing and has offices in the UK, Poland and Oman
