At StarSwift, we believe that every organisation, no matter its size should have access to clear, effective, and affordable cybersecurity solutions. We are here to make cyber resilience achievable for all.
We have experience in both the public and private sectors, and we have built StarSwift around a single principle: cut through the jargon and focus on what really matters, protecting your business.
From SMEs and charities to healthcare providers, schools, and defence contractors, we have helped organisations across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia understand their risks, meet compliance requirements, and build practical cyber strategies that work.
Cyber threats are growing, but so are the tools, frameworks, and best practices to defend against them. At StarSwift, we combine technical know-how with human insight to help you strengthen your cyber security, meet regulatory obligations, and grow with confidence.
We speak in plain English, not technical waffle. We should make your life easier, not more complicated.
Whether it’s Cyber Essentials, IAME Cyber Assurance, NHS DSPT audits, or MOD frameworks like DCC, we know what is required and how to get you there efficiently.
No two businesses are the same. We adapt our advice and services to suit your industry, risk level, and goals.
From audits and risk assessments to policy development, training, and certification, we are with you every step of the way.
Hi, I’m Rob, director of StarSwift. I started the company with a simple, long-term mission: to make essential cybersecurity guidance accessible and understandable for SMEs.
Cyber threats aren’t just a big business problem, and I believe smaller organisations deserve straightforward, practical and honest support to stay protected.
I don’t see myself as a typical “tech nerd”, I’m more about practical advice than jargon. My goal is to help businesses feel confident, not confused, when it comes to security.
Outside of work, I’m usually enjoying music, either listening or dabbling in a bit of music production. I also love getting outdoors with my wife and our Whippet(s) (the number fluctuates unfortunately), who are far better at switching off than I am! When I’m not nursing an injury (which is increasingly often!), I try to stay active and get involved in sport whenever I can.
