Style & Values

Safecoms has a strong set of values and a well defined “style”. These things are important to us, and set us apart from other players in the information security sector.

A Single Agenda

Safecoms cares about one thing and one thing only – ensuring that its clients achieve the optimal level of security consistent with their risk profile and budget.  In our experience this can generally be achieved without the need to invest in any additional technology.  Safecoms does not have a hidden agenda of selling products or managed service contracts on the back of consultancy assignments. Safecoms does not sell products – period.  Many organizations that we meet are wasting significant sums of money in buying more technology to “solve” their security issues, whereas a small investment in improved infrastructure management processes and user education provides a much greater “security dividend”.

Practical and Pragmatic

Safecoms sees it as its duty to ensure that its clients’ security issues are actually fixed – and fixed in the smartest and most cost effective way. Whereas some consulting groups fight shy of making specific recommendations on how to fix a particular vulnerability, Safecoms has sufficient confidence in its knowledge and experience to always put forward a specific, definitive “fix” to any issue identified in a penetration test or security assessment. We believe it is our duty to our clients to put our money where our mouth is.

An Appropriate Level of Security

Safecoms is committed to working out what is the necessary level of security for each client given its risk profile and the expectations of its stakeholders. Safecoms does not blindly implement “best practice” for the sake of it, nor does it try to make a meat processing business as secure as an online share trading company. Safecoms prides itself in helping each client to achieve a security model that is at the right level of maturity for their unique situation.

Quality

Safecoms is fanatical about quality, and has rigorous quality assurance procedures in place. Safecoms is constantly aware that it is a relatively small “boutique” business competing head on against the world’s largest consultancy firms, and that the quality of everything we do has to be world class.  The fact that our clients have come to view Safecoms as their preferred specialist information security partner is very encouraging for us: the fact that they consistently come back for more services from Safecoms suggests that our obsession with quality is working!
