Sovereign by deployment, accountable by design

Public sector bodies hold data that cannot leave a jurisdiction, run services citizens cannot do without, and face adversaries with national resources. HexaShield deploys where the data has to live, provides a full evidence trail for assurance regimes, and puts a 24/7 agentic SOC behind estates that rarely have one.

Where we are brought in

Three problems we are asked to solve in the public sector

Services citizens depend on, delivered on estates that were never designed as one, under procurement rules that are themselves part of the problem. These are the three situations public sector leaders bring to us most often.

01

Citizen services run on an estate assembled over decades

SOC
The problem

Applications, case management and payment systems have been added, migrated and inherited through reorganisations. Much of it cannot be taken offline, some of it is supported by a supplier and none of it was designed to be secured as a single estate.

How HexaShield solves it

Managed SOC / MDR on HexaSOC, which ingests telemetry from any tool you already run and sits above the existing stack, with no rip-and-replace, with AI triage and analyst-led containment 24/7, and HexaMatrix measuring coverage rather than assuming it.

Managed SOC / MDRHexaMatrixHexaSOC
The business outcome

Continuous cover across a heterogeneous estate without a replacement programme to fund first. Where coverage is genuinely thin, it is identified and closed deliberately rather than discovered during an incident.

02

Your suppliers are in scope and your assurance of them is a document

TPRM
The problem

Delivery runs through systems integrators, SaaS providers and subcontractors several tiers deep. Assurance was established at award, is reviewed on a contract cycle, and does not reflect what changed in between.

How HexaShield solves it

Third-party risk management built into HexaComply for vendor risk, questionnaires and supply-chain visibility as a managed service, with HexaInt supplying third-party risk intelligence and credential exposure monitoring scored against your estate.

Third-Party Risk, Cyber IntelligenceHexaComplyHexaInt
The business outcome

Supplier assurance becomes continuous rather than contractual. A problem inside a supplier is something you learn about from your own monitoring, in time to act, instead of from a notification after the fact.

03

You are asked to prove the controls work, not that they exist

OFFENSIVE
The problem

Assurance frameworks and audit increasingly ask for demonstrated effectiveness rather than documented intent. A control described in a policy and a control that would actually stop an attacker are different things, and the gap between them is rarely measured.

How HexaShield solves it

The Offensive Security practice on HexaStrike: penetration testing, red and purple teaming, continuous security validation and attack surface management, built to deliver prioritised, actionable improvement rather than another technical report that sits on a shelf, with findings feeding back into detection.

Offensive SecurityHexaStrike
The business outcome

Evidence that controls work in practice, expressed as a prioritised remediation path an accounting officer can sign against. Weaknesses are identified and remediated before adversaries can exploit them.

The assurance regimes your organisation answers to

NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework · Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus as a baseline and a supplier requirement · departmental and sector security policy frameworks · procurement framework security schedules · CMMC for organisations working with the US defence supply chain.

We map the ones that apply to your jurisdiction, flag, licence or trade during onboarding rather than assuming them here. Compliance frameworks and regulatory requirements change over time; the specific frameworks in scope, and their current requirements, are confirmed and verified with your counsel during onboarding.

Threat landscape

What actually goes wrong in Government

Nation-state targeting

Espionage against policy, defence, research and citizen data is persistent and patient.

Legacy estates and technical debt

Long procurement cycles and constrained budgets leave systems in service well beyond their secure life.

Supply chain into government

Suppliers and managed-service providers are targeted as the route into departments and agencies.

Hacktivism and disruption

Public-facing services are attacked for visibility as much as for effect.

Devolved, federated estates

Responsibility is distributed across bodies, agencies and authorities with uneven maturity and no shared view.

Assurance overhead

GovAssure, CAF and departmental requirements consume capacity that is already thin.

One connected picture

Citizen services, corporate IT and the estate, in one place

Public sector bodies defend a wide, long-lived estate against adversaries with national resources, usually without a 24/7 security function of their own. HexaCore consolidates the picture and puts an agentic SOC behind it, deployed where the data has to live.

The regulatory picture

The frameworks and regimes that shape security programmes in this sector. HexaComply maps one control set across all of them.

NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework

The outcome-based model underpinning GovAssure for UK central government.

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus

Baseline UK certification, frequently a condition of public-sector contracts.

NIST SP 800-53

Security and privacy controls for US federal information systems.

CMMC 2.0 / NIST SP 800-171

Requirements across the US defence industrial base and its supply chain.

ISO/IEC 27001

Common baseline across public-sector procurement internationally.

NIS2

Public administration entities are in scope in the EU.

The approach

How HexaShield covers it

  1. 1Deploy inside your boundary

    On-premises deployment keeps operational data within your jurisdiction and classification boundary, including for segmented and air-gapped environments.

  2. 2A SOC for estates that cannot staff one

    HexaSOC agents provide continuous investigation and response where recruiting and retaining a 24/7 analyst team is not realistic.

  3. 3One view across a federated estate

    HexaView is multi-tenant, so a department, agency or shared-service provider can see its own estate while the centre sees the whole.

  4. 4Supply-chain assurance with evidence

    HexaComply manages supplier assessment and HexaInt monitors supplier exposure independently of what they self-report.

  5. 5Assurance as an output

    CAF, Cyber Essentials and NIST control evidence is generated by the platform operating, which is where the capacity saving actually comes from.

One accountable partner

Integrated capabilities and proprietary platforms under one operating model, so there is no gap between the team that detects something and the team that answers for it.

No rip-and-replace

We sit above the stack you already run and take telemetry from any source. Nothing here depends on you replacing tooling you have already bought and trained people on.

Transparency by default

Whatever you buy feeds HexaView, the same truth our analysts see, at the depth each audience needs, exported on demand for leadership, auditors and insurers.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can HexaShield be deployed without any data leaving our jurisdiction?
Yes. Deployment can be on-premises so that operational data remains inside your boundary, which is the usual requirement where classification or data-residency rules apply. This includes segmented and air-gapped environments, where the platform runs locally and the flow of any data outward is governed by your own architecture.
How does HexaView work for a federated public-sector estate?
HexaView is genuinely multi-tenant. Each body, agency or authority sees its own estate with role-based access, while a centre, department or shared-service provider can hold an aggregated view. That is the same capability partners use for white-labelling, applied to public-sector structure.
Does this support GovAssure and the CAF?
The Cyber Assessment Framework is outcome-based: it asks you to evidence that objectives are met rather than to list controls. Because HexaShield generates evidence from detection coverage, asset inventory, vulnerability management and testing as it operates, HexaComply can map live evidence onto CAF objectives instead of an assessment being a separate exercise.
Can you help us assure our suppliers?
Yes. HexaComply provides consistent supplier assessment and criticality tiering, and HexaInt independently monitors supplier exposure from the outside, credentials, exposed infrastructure and dark-web mentions, so assurance is not limited to what a vendor chooses to self-report.
