The practice

INKASEC is the principal. Partners fill the gaps.

INKASEC Ltd is the contracting party and the operational principal for every engagement. Where an engagement requires capabilities we do not deliver in-house, such as source-code escrow, specialist legal advice, or in-region deployment hands, we work with carefully chosen partners. For continuity arrangements we work most often with The Escrow Company; other specialists are brought in as a vendor's needs require.

The point of this arrangement is clarity about scope. The buyer-side procurement team sees a single party they can hold to account, while the vendor sees a single relationship that brings the whole capability set with it.

Capabilities

Six domains under one roof.

Each of these is a capability we use in active engagements, not a list of things we read about. The combination is what makes the landing work; any one of them in isolation is available elsewhere on the UK market.

i.

Cybersecurity advisory

Through INKASEC Ltd's main practice. Architecture review, threat modelling, security posture for regulated environments. The credentials buyers expect to see on a security questionnaire.

ii.

Regulatory compliance

DORA via our dora-consultancy.com brand. ISO 27701. GDPR. UK financial-services third-party risk frameworks. We have written real compliance documents under real audit scrutiny, not just read the standards.

iii.

Cloud and infrastructure

AWS serverless architecture, Linux, Terraform, n8n automation. The technical core that makes hands-on deployment work credible rather than theoretical.

iv.

Post-quantum cryptography

Through pqcconsultancy.com. Relevant where vendors are building products that touch cryptographic infrastructure, or where buyers are starting to ask quantum-readiness questions on their security questionnaires.

v.

Continuity & escrow

Source-code escrow and managed continuity arranged through The Escrow Company. The answer to "what happens if you fail?", a question regulated buyers always ask and most vendors cannot answer credibly.

vi.

UK and EU buyer literacy

Years of work with UK financial services, healthcare, and critical national infrastructure buyers. We know how their procurement runs, what their third-party risk team is checking, and what answers move a deal forward.

Why this combination is unusual

The market splits these capabilities across four different kinds of firm.

Generic UK channel partners have the buyer relationships but no regulated-industry credibility and no technical deployment depth. Large advisory firms have the credentials but charge by the strategy deck, not by the working engagement. Specialist contractors have the technical hands but no continuity, no compliance, no follow-through. Escrow providers and trade bodies do their one thing.

INKASEC sits at the intersection because the underlying business is already at that intersection. We built the cybersecurity practice, the compliance practice, the cloud and infrastructure practice, the PQC practice, and the partner relationships for our own existing clients. Bringing them to a foreign vendor's landing problem is a natural extension rather than a new venture.

That is also why the practice is deliberately small. The capabilities are real, but the operator is one team. We will not take on more vendors than we can serve well.

Boundaries and independence

What we do not represent.

Some scope decisions are non-negotiable because they protect the independence of the wider INKASEC business and the trust of every client we work with.

No PQC product vendors.
Our own PQC consultancy serves UK buyers; representing competing products would compromise that work.
No defence-only or military dual-use technology.
Different regulatory frame, different buyer culture, different operating model. Not our practice.
No vendors in direct conflict with active advisory clients.
Conflicts are checked at engagement and reviewed quarterly. Where a conflict cannot be resolved, we decline.
No representation that crosses into sales pipeline generation.
We are technical, operational, and compliance partners. We are not your sales channel.

The capabilities are real. The operator is one team. We will not take on more vendors than we can serve well.

If you would like to see how this fits your product, the next step is a call.

Thirty minutes. No charge. No marketing language. We will tell you what we can do, what we will not, and whether the engagement is sensible at this stage of your UK and EU expansion.
