The ghost
in your network.
GHOSTLINE helps small businesses build real cyber protection without needing an in-house security team. We combine clear guidance, practical protection, and ongoing oversight so you always know what matters, what has been done, and what needs to happen next.
We turn alerts into answers.
Most security tools send you walls of technical warnings that mean nothing to a business owner. GHOSTLINE reads every alert and tells you what happened, whether you need to worry, and what to do next. In plain English.
Raw Alert
GHOSTLINE Says
Source: DSIT Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026. The outsourcing trend is accelerating: 44% of micro businesses now use an external cyber provider, up from 39%.
More than just detection.
Three things that set GHOSTLINE apart from a standard security tool.
VEIL
Think of it as a silent alarm system. We place invisible tripwires across your environment. If someone who should not be there touches one, we know immediately. No guesswork, no false alarms.
ARCHIVE
A complete, tamper-proof record of everything that happens. If something goes wrong, you have the evidence already collected, timestamped, and ready for your insurer, regulator, or solicitor.
WATCH
Your security health at a glance. A simple, clear summary of where you stand, whether things are improving, and what needs attention. Designed so you can show it to a board, a client, or an insurer.

Short form. No sales pressure. We will come back with a clear plan tailored to your business.
Everything connected. Nothing missed.
GHOSTLINE is not a collection of separate tools bolted together. It is a single platform where everything talks to everything else. When your email protection spots something suspicious, your device monitoring already knows. When a threat is blocked, the record is already saved. Nothing falls through the cracks.
How information flows through GHOSTLINE
Events from your business flow in, get recorded permanently, connected together into a clear picture, and presented to you in plain English.
The Three Pillars
Everything GHOSTLINE does feeds into three core systems. Together they give you deception, memory, and visibility.
◆ VEIL: The Tripwire System
VEIL places invisible traps across your business environment: fake files, fake login pages, fake credentials. No real person would ever touch them. So if something does, you know immediately that someone is where they should not be. It is like scattering invisible ink across your office: only an intruder leaves fingerprints.
◆ ARCHIVE: The Permanent Record
ARCHIVE keeps a permanent, tamper-proof record of every security event and every action taken. Nothing can be deleted or changed after the fact. If you ever need to show an insurer, a regulator, or a court what happened and when, the evidence is already there, already timestamped, and already organised.
◆ WATCH: Your Security Dashboard
WATCH shows you the state of your security in plain English. Are things getting better or worse? Are there any open issues? What has been done recently? It pulls everything together into a simple, clear view you can share with your board, your clients, or your insurance provider.
◆ ORACLE: The Smart Assistant
ORACLE is the built-in intelligence that helps make sense of what is happening. It reads alerts so you do not have to, highlights what actually matters, and helps a small team do the work that would normally need a much larger one. Think of it as having a security analyst on call, built right into the platform.
GHOSTLINE VEIL
VEIL places believable traps across your business. If a threat touches one, we know immediately. Attackers see things that look real. You see their presence the moment they interact.

Activity Log
SPECTRE
GHOSTLINE protects you. SPECTRE tests whether that protection actually works. It looks at your business the way an attacker would, finds the weak spots, proves they are real, and tells you exactly how to fix them. Then it checks again to make sure the fix worked.
What SPECTRE is not
SPECTRE is not a basic scanner that produces a list of theoretical issues. It is not a one-off test you run once a year. It is a continuous testing system that finds real, provable weaknesses in your defences and shows you how an attacker could use them, with evidence and clear steps to fix each one.
Safety Levels
The 14 Modules
COMMAND A
Controls who can run tests, what they can test, and keeps a complete record of every action taken.
SURFACE A
Discovers everything about your business that is visible from the internet: websites, subdomains, cloud services, and open doors.
DARK MIRROR A
Checks whether your staff credentials or company data have appeared in known data breaches, leak sites, or dark web markets.
VERIFY B
Confirms whether a weakness is real and exploitable, with screenshots and evidence. Not just a theoretical risk score.
GHOST PROTOCOL B
Tests your defences the way a real attacker would: carefully, quietly, and without triggering obvious alarms.
SIGNAL A
Connects findings to real-world threat data: which weaknesses are being actively targeted right now? How urgently should you fix them?
NEURAL CHAIN B
Maps how multiple small weaknesses could be chained together to achieve a serious breach. Shows the full attack path, not just individual issues.
PHANTOM C
Simulates the behaviour of real threat groups against your systems to see how your defences respond under realistic pressure.
STAND ALONE COMPLEX C
Runs full end-to-end testing campaigns that chain multiple modules together for comprehensive assessments.
OPERATIONS A
Manages the scheduling, running, and tracking of all tests. Makes sure everything runs smoothly and nothing is forgotten.
EVIDENCE A
Stores proof for every finding: screenshots, logs, timestamps. Evidence you can show to an insurer, auditor, or regulator.
DOSSIER A
Produces clear reports: what was found, why it matters, how to fix it, and whether things are improving over time.
WATCHTOWER A
Watches for changes between tests. If something new appears or a fix is undone, you get an alert straight away.
PANOPTICON A
A live dashboard showing every test in progress, every finding, and the overall state of your security testing programme.
The Continuous Cycle
GHOSTLINE protects. SPECTRE tests. Together they create a continuous cycle: find weaknesses, fix them, verify the fix, and repeat. Your security gets stronger every cycle.

Common Questions
How is pricing scoped? ▶
The figures shown are starting points. Final pricing depends on endpoint count, identity scope, cloud footprint, retention needs, and response expectations.
Minimum contract? ▶
Monthly rolling is available. Annual commitments reduce the effective monthly rate by around 10% and are better suited to longer-term programmes.
What is in the GHOSTLINE module names? ▶
Module names like TRACE, INBOX, SIGNAL, VEIL, WATCH, ARCHIVE, and BASELINE map to our managed service capabilities today and will become the native platform modules when GHOSTLINE launches. Same principles, same philosophy.
What happens when the platform launches? ▶
Existing managed service clients transition to the platform with priority access and preferred pricing. The managed service wraps around the platform. Nothing breaks.
Can I start small? ▶
Yes. The Cyber Clarity Review is a one-off engagement that gives you a grounded view of where you stand. From there, we scope a retainer that fits.

Built in Cardiff. Built for businesses like yours.
GHOSTLINE exists because too many security products are built for large enterprises and sold to small businesses at a price and complexity level that does not fit. We started with a simple question: what would cyber security look like if it was designed around the needs of a 10 to 200 person business from day one?

The Cyber Security & Resilience Bill
The UK has just changed the law on cyber security for the first time in seven years. New rules on incident reporting, supplier responsibility, and serious fines for getting it wrong. What it means for your business, in plain English.
The 2025/2026 UK Cyber Breaches Survey
Last year, around 612,000 UK businesses were hit by a cyber attack. Most of them started with an email. A clear readout of the official numbers, what they mean for businesses like yours, and a simple check on where you stand.
Threat Intelligence: Knowing What Matters
The security industry loves to talk about threats. What most business owners actually need is to know which threats apply to them, how urgent they are, and what to do about each one. A plain-English guide.
Ransomware: What It Is and How to Stop It
Ransomware locks you out of your own systems and demands payment. It is one of the biggest threats to UK businesses today. How it gets in, what happens when it strikes, and the practical steps that stop it.
Antivirus vs Modern Protection
"We have antivirus, so we are protected." That used to be true. It is not anymore. See exactly where traditional antivirus stops working and what modern protection does differently, with side-by-side examples.
We add new guides as the threats and rules change. Next up: supplier risk for small businesses, and what AI tools mean for your data.
Not sure where to begin?
That is completely normal. Most businesses we work with started exactly where you are now: knowing security matters, not knowing what to do about it. Here is the path, step by step.
Each step is designed to reduce friction. No jargon. No pressure. You move at your own pace.
Have a conversation with us
Fill in the short form. We will come back to you within 24 hours with a quick call or email. We want to understand your business, your concerns, and what matters to you. No sales pitch.
We run a Cyber Sprint
Over five working days, we review your security posture: your email setup, devices, access controls, backups, and external exposure. You get a clear written report in plain English, a prioritised action plan, and a debrief call where you can ask anything.
You decide what happens next
Some businesses take the report and handle things themselves. Some want us to implement the plan. Either way, you walk away with something genuinely useful. If you continue, the £950 is credited in full towards your first retainer. Zero wasted money.
Ongoing protection (if you want it)
We offer three tiers of managed security, starting from £695 per month. We monitor your systems, respond to threats, track compliance, and give you a clear monthly report. You focus on running your business. We handle the security.
The hardest part is the first message.
After that, we handle everything. You just answer a few questions about your business.
Common questions at this stage
"Is this going to be expensive?" ▶
The Cyber Sprint is £950 and is credited if you continue. Managed protection starts from £695 per month. We scope everything to your size and budget. No surprises.
"We are too small to be a target." ▶
43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber breach last year. Automated attacks do not check how many employees you have. Small businesses are targeted precisely because they tend to have fewer protections.
"We already have antivirus." ▶
Antivirus catches known threats. Modern attacks use techniques that bypass it entirely. Our blog article on AV vs EDR explains this in detail with an interactive simulator.
"How long does this take?" ▶
The Cyber Sprint takes 5 working days. If you move to a managed retainer, onboarding typically takes under a week. You will have protection and visibility within days of starting.
You are in the right place.
If you think your business has been hacked, hit with ransomware, or compromised in any way, we can help. Take a breath. You have got us now.
We respond to breach enquiries within 1 hour during business hours.
While you wait, here is what to do right now
Unless you are actively watching data being destroyed, leave computers on. Turning them off can destroy evidence we need to help you.
Unplug the network cable or turn off Wi-Fi on affected machines. This stops the attacker spreading further without destroying evidence.
If you are seeing a ransom demand, do not pay it yet. Payment does not guarantee recovery. We need to understand the situation first.
When did you first notice something wrong? What did you see? Which systems are affected? On paper or your phone is fine. This helps us move faster.
We will get back to you as quickly as possible. Include a phone number so we can call you directly.
Get help now
Fill in as much as you can. We will call you back.
What happens after you contact us
We call you back, assess the situation, and give you immediate guidance on containment.
We begin remote investigation. We will tell you what we can see, what the attacker has done, and what needs to happen next.
You have a clear picture: what happened, what data is affected, who needs to be notified, and a recovery plan. We handle the technical response while you focus on your business and your people.
You can also call the NCSC directly on 0300 020 0973 or report to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
