Protecting data, systems, and trust in a digital-first world
At MHK Consulting, we provide expert cybersecurity and privacy services to help organisations protect sensitive information, manage cyber threats, and meet privacy and regulatory obligations. Our work is grounded in internationally recognised research in cybersecurity and privacy and translated into practical, real-world solutions for organisations.
We help organisations identify vulnerabilities, assess cyber and privacy risks, and design solutions that embed security and privacy by design into systems, processes, and organisational practices—enabling confident, compliant, and sustainable digital operations.
Our approach combines cutting-edge research, including work on secure systems engineering, privacy requirements, risk analysis, and socio-technical security, with hands-on consulting experience to ensure solutions are both robust and usable.
What We Do
We support organisations across the full cybersecurity and privacy lifecycle, including:
Cybersecurity & Privacy Risk Assessment
Identifying, analysing, and prioritising cybersecurity and privacy risks across people, processes, and technologies, informed by established research-based risk modelling approaches.
Security & Privacy by Design
Embedding security and privacy requirements early in system and process design, drawing on research-led methods to ensure protection is built in, not bolted on.
Cybersecurity Strategy & Governance
Developing policies, frameworks, and governance structures that align cybersecurity and privacy controls with organisational objectives and regulatory requirements.
Security & Privacy Awareness Training
Improving organisational security and privacy culture by equipping staff and stakeholders with practical knowledge to reduce human error and improve compliance.
Incident Preparedness & Response
Supporting organisations in preparing for, detecting, and responding to cybersecurity incidents while minimising operational, legal, and reputational impact.
Compliance & Regulatory Support
Helping organisations meet data protection and cybersecurity obligations (including GDPR and recognised standards) in a structured and proportionate manner.
How We Work
We take a research-informed, risk-based, and pragmatic approach. Our work is underpinned by academic research in cybersecurity and privacy—particularly in areas such as risk analysis, privacy requirements engineering, and socio-technical security—and shaped by the realities of operational environments.
We work closely with your teams to provide clear, actionable guidance, prioritise what matters most, and implement solutions that deliver measurable improvements in security and privacy, not just compliance on paper.
Who We Help
We work with:
- SMEs and organisations undergoing digital transformation
- Research and innovation projects handling sensitive or personal data
- Public and private sector clients managing cybersecurity and privacy obligations
Whether you need to strengthen cybersecurity controls, embed privacy by design, support compliance, or apply research-led approaches to complex security challenges, we help organisations protect their assets, maintain trust, and operate with confidence.
