Capacity in your team, or a result we own
Some work needs specialists alongside your people. Some is better handed over as a defined outcome. We do both.

Experienced consultants join your team to fill gaps in architecture, engineering or assurance.
- Embedded in your delivery team
- Time and materials
- Scaled up or down as the work changes
- 02
Outcome-based delivery
A defined piece of work with agreed deliverables and acceptance criteria. We own the delivery and the result.
- Agreed scope and deliverables
- Fixed price or milestone payments
- Accountability for the outcome
Delivered where it counts
Cypher Works brings more than a decade of delivery across UK defence and central government, comfortable in secure, accredited environments and multi-supplier teams. Past engagements include BAE Systems, Broadcom, DWP, the FCDO, IBM and the Royal Navy.
An independent technical partner
Cypher Works Limited is a specialist consultancy. We work embedded in delivery teams, hands-on with the architecture, the build and the assurance, and we care about leaving behind systems a client can run without us.
Independent and vendor-neutral, we recommend what fits the problem and the security posture, not what carries a partner badge.
