What our clients are saying
“Extremely Helpful”
“Red Goat Cyber Security were extremely helpful and professional. Their knowledge of cyber security and table top exercising was excellent and provided a real stimulus in preparing for a potential cyber-attack. We would highly recommend them to other maritime and logistic companies”
David Brown OBE, Chief Executive

“Highly Recommend”
“I was delighted with how Red Goat Cyber Security delivered the cyber security table top exercise. We had a wide ranging participation group and they were able to guide and advise as well as ensuring engagement throughout the exercise. It provoked a lot of thought and group discussion. We have learnt valuable lessons to further improve our plans, processes and check lists and would highly recommend them to other organisations”
Andrew Cowling, Director of Informatics at
Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust
“Valuable lessons”
We were very impressed with how Red Goat engaged with our InfoSec department, drafting up a realistic scenario that included a few twist and turns to keep the response team on their toes.
Everyone engaged well with the exercise and whilst great fun, some very valuable lessons were learned.
