We've spent a decade inside the systems that enterprises trust with their most sensitive data.
Ancitus was founded on a simple observation: defence contractors need senior-level security engineering and cloud expertise, but the big firms charge too much and the small shops lack the depth. We fill that gap.
Built in banking. Tested in government. Applied to defence.
Our team's experience comes from the most heavily regulated environments in the UK — financial services, energy, and central government. Not advising from the outside. Building, securing, and operating the actual infrastructure that handles sensitive data at scale.
That includes developing Big Data Security Standards at HSBC that became the benchmark for compliance across data-intensive environments. Building secure DevOps pipelines at BP that cut critical vulnerabilities by 60%. Designing ML pipelines at the Department for Work and Pensions that accelerated model deployment by 65%.
Our consultants hold SC security clearance. When we say we work inside your environment and your data never leaves your control — it's not a differentiator we invented for marketing. It's how we've always operated.
Results from real engagements
Numbers our team has delivered across financial services, energy, and government environments.
Qualified. Cleared. Current.
Deep hands-on expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, Openshift). Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible). Security tooling (Prisma Cloud, Aqua Security, SonarQube, Trivy). NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Three principles we don't compromise on.
These aren't values we put on a wall. They're constraints we build every engagement around.
Your environment, always
Every engagement runs through your systems. We never store, process, or transport your sensitive data on our infrastructure. No exceptions.
Advisory only, never assessment
We don't assess, certify, sell software, or host platforms. Our only job is making you ready. No conflicts of interest, no vendor lock-in.
Deliverables, not decks
We produce working documentation, deployed configurations, and trained teams — not slide decks with recommendations you have to implement yourself.
