Cybersecurity for Cambridge businesses —
research, life-sciences, tech-grade controls.
Servnet designs, deploys and runs cybersecurity for Cambridge firms with regulators paying attention — AstraZeneca + life-sciences supply chain, Arm + Microsoft Research + AWS Cambridge enterprise tech, NHS CP ICB-affiliated trusts (Addenbrooke's + CUH), Cambridge + Anglia Ruskin universities, plus Silicon Fen scale-ups. Cyber Essentials Plus through to GxP / MHRA-aligned and SOC 2 Type II controls.
Why Cambridge cyber programmes have their own profile
Cambridge concentrates a unique combination — world-leading research + life-sciences validated environments + tech-giant satellite operations + NHS teaching hospital — each with regulatory load that doesn't look like generic mid-market cyber.
GxP / MHRA-aware cyber for AstraZeneca-supplier
For AstraZeneca-supplier and Cambridge life-sciences customers, cyber controls land against GxP / GMP-aware controls for validated environments, MHRA-aligned change processes, clinical-trial-data protection.
SOC 2 + ISO 27001 for Arm + Microsoft Research-class
For Arm Holdings + Microsoft Research + Silicon Fen tech customers serving regulated US / EU customers, cyber programmes land against SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, customer-specific regulatory regimes.
Research-data classification for Cambridge University
For Cambridge University departments + colleges, cyber programmes address research-data classification, funded-project IP protection, JANET edge security, plus the specific dual-use research export-control regimes.
NHS CP ICB + DSP Toolkit
For CUH (Addenbrooke's), CPFT, NWAFT trust-affiliated organisations, cyber work lands against DSP Toolkit, HSCN-aligned segmentation, NIS Regulations 2018.

How we run cyber for Cambridge clients
On-site within hours into Science Park + Biomedical Campus
For monitored-response customers, P1 incident in CB-postcodes typically has engineer in motion within an hour and on-site inside 3–4 hours from Surrey HQ via M11.
Quarterly operational reviews
For AstraZeneca-supplier, SOC 2-regulated tech, NHS CP customers we run quarterly reviews against the firm's controls register.
Out-of-hours windows aligned to sector
Life sciences around batch-release cycles, tech around release cycles, NHS around DSPT audit windows.
Quarterly threat briefings for executive sponsors
For life-sciences CISOs, tech-giant satellite security leads, NHS CP exec leads we run a 60-minute quarterly briefing.
Cambridge cybersecurity — common questions
Do you have a Cambridge office or driving from Surrey?
