Deep expertise, applied to your hardest problems.
When you need more than a managed service — when you need people who can think, design, and deliver alongside your team — that's what our consultancy practice is built for.
What it is
Sunwell's consultancy services put experienced technical specialists directly into your programmes and projects. Whether you need a dedicated resource embedded in your team, a security lead to drive a complex initiative, or specialists to test and validate your defences, we provide the expertise without the overhead of a permanent hire. We work at the technical depth your challenges actually require.
What we deliver
Dedicated FTEs
Experienced engineers and security specialists embedded within your team on a dedicated basis. Full technical depth, fully focused on your environment — without the cost and risk of a permanent hire. Engagements are flexible and scale with your needs.
Security Project Management
Specialist project managers who understand security — not just timelines and RAG statuses. We lead complex security programmes from initiation through delivery, managing stakeholders, vendors, and technical workstreams with the credibility that comes from genuine domain knowledge.
Penetration Testing & Technical Assurance
Rigorous, intelligence-led testing of your applications, infrastructure, cloud environments, and security controls. We go beyond automated scanning to deliver manual testing that reflects real-world attacker behaviour. Outputs are clear, prioritised, and actionable.
- Web application and API penetration testing
- Infrastructure and network penetration testing
- Cloud environment security review (Azure, AWS, GCP)
- Red team exercises
- Configuration and hardening reviews
- Post-incident technical review
Security Control Design & Implementation
We design and implement security controls that are fit for your environment, your risk profile, and your operational reality — covering both technology and process. From zero trust architecture and identity frameworks to detection engineering to security policies.
How we work
We focus on outcomes, not outputs.
Deliverables are a means to an end. We stay focused on the real objective — a more secure environment, a programme delivered, a risk mitigated — and we're direct when something isn't going to achieve that.
We work as part of your team.
Our consultants don't arrive, present, and disappear. They integrate with your people, understand your constraints, and take shared responsibility for getting things done. Embedded or project-based, we're in it with you.
We leave you better than we found you.
Knowledge transfer is built into how we work. When an engagement ends, your team should understand what was built, why it was built that way, and how to operate and evolve it. We don't optimise for dependency.
Who it's for
Our consultancy services are a strong fit for organisations that:
- Are running a significant security programme and need experienced leadership to drive it
- Want to test their defences with the rigour of a real-world attacker
- Need to design or mature their security controls — technically and operationally
- Require specialist resource on a flexible basis without a permanent headcount commitment
- Are going through a significant change — acquisition, cloud migration, regulatory audit — and need trusted technical support
Why Sunwell
We're practitioners, not theorists.
Our consultants have operated the platforms, run the incidents, built the architectures, and found the vulnerabilities. That experience shapes every engagement — you get advice grounded in what actually works.
We combine security and IT depth.
Security consultancy that ignores how IT environments actually operate produces recommendations that don't get implemented. Our team spans both disciplines, so what we design can be built and sustained.
We're straightforward about what we find.
In penetration testing and assurance work especially, the value is in honesty. We report what we find, clearly and without softening, because that's the only way the work is useful.
