Today’s cyber challenge isn’t just about keeping attackers out. It’s about ensuring your systems, people and missions can continue to operate when the inevitable happens. Resilience — not just security — is now the true measure of effectiveness..
QinetiQ is the trusted high-assurance partner for government, critical national infrastructure and major enterprises. By integrating cyber with engineering and assurance, we deliver architectures, recovery plans and evidence that prove systems can withstand real threats and recover at speed.
Why it matters now
- You can’t prevent every incident. Recovery speed is the win condition.
- Boards and regulators expect evidence of improvement, not just reports.
- Resilience is now the true measure of success — as recognised in recent RUSI commentary:
- Integrated cyber and engineering delivery beats fragmented point solutions.
- Frameworks are tightening — CAF, CCS frameworks and G-Cloud 14 are raising the bar across government and CNI.
- Threat actors evolve constantly.
Who relies on us
- Central Government
Home Office, Department for Work and Pensions and agencies with national security and public safety missions (including emergency services and the Health Security Agency).
- Critical National Infrastructure
Gas, water and electricity network operators
- High-assurance commercial
Banks, law firms and large corporations where failure is not an option
- UK Ministry of Defence
What we do
From penetration testing to full-spectrum red teaming, risk modelling and business mapping, through to compliance, remediation, exercising and incident preparedness, we deliver a single, coherent model — not disconnected services.
Each capability is delivered by security-cleared, accredited experts and designed to give customers clarity, assurance and resilience.
How we work
- Secure by Design (SbD) is embedded in our engineering and cyber delivery, fully aligned with His Majesty’s Government and UK Ministry of Defence principles — and proven in programmes like Q40, QinetiQ’s GPS anti-jamming and spoofing battle-proof GPS receiver
- We work across the lifecycle — design, build, operate, assure — to keep systems secure in service, not just on paper.
- We partner flexibly: leading as prime or collaborating with primes and SMEs to bring the right mix of expertise.
- Our presence on G-Cloud 14, CCS frameworks and CAF makes procurement straightforward and compliant.
