About UK Tech Ltd

Security Intelligence,
Human Expertise

We are a London-based cybersecurity and IT consulting firm dedicated to protecting organisations from the evolving threat landscape — through expertise, integrity, and measurable results.

Founded on the Frontlines of Cyber Defence

UK Tech Ltd was established in 2016 by a group of former security operations professionals who saw a gap in the market: organisations were spending on tools, but not on expertise. Technology alone doesn't secure a business — informed, experienced humans do.

From our London headquarters, we have grown into a trusted partner for over 150 organisations across the UK and Europe — from NHS-affiliated trusts and law firms to fast-scaling SaaS companies and FTSE-listed enterprises.

Our director, Oliver Hartfield, built the company on a simple principle: that every client, regardless of size, deserves the same level of rigour and attention that protects the world's most critical infrastructure.

Today, UK Tech Ltd holds Cyber Essentials Plus certification and our consultants carry some of the most respected credentials in the industry: CISSP, CISM, CREST, and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor.

Our Mission

To make enterprise-grade cybersecurity accessible, understandable, and effective for every organisation operating in the digital economy.

Our Vision

A UK business landscape where every organisation — from sole trader to corporation — operates with confidence in the security of its digital assets.

Our Values

Integrity, transparency, continuous learning, and a relentless focus on client outcomes — not billable hours.

Oliver and his team are the real deal. They don't just tick compliance boxes — they genuinely understand threats and communicate them clearly at board level. An invaluable partner.

Richard Chesterton
CEO, Ashbridge Capital

Natasha's penetration testing team found a critical SQL injection vulnerability in our payment flow that had been live for months. I can't overstate how significant that discovery was for us.
