The company directory

Find cyber capability across the region by what organisations actually do, using categories chosen to reflect the West Midlands industrial base rather than a generic cyber taxonomy.

  • Operational technology security
  • Industrial control systems
  • Supply-chain assurance
  • Third-party cyber risk
  • Incident readiness
  • Resilience governance
  • Secure manufacturing
  • Connected transport and logistics
  • Penetration testing
  • Managed security services
  • Governance, risk and compliance
  • Training and awareness

To be confirmed before launch

The directory is open for listings and being populated ahead of launch. Organisations are not added without their consent, so nothing is pre-filled. Inclusion is not a certification, endorsement or guarantee of capability, and buyers remain responsible for their own due diligence.

The community

The Cluster is its members. Founders, practitioners, students, buyers, investors, educators and community organisers who each contribute something the region needs.
