Coming Soon
A native European cyber security solution is coming
Built in Scotland for European markets. A new approach to cyber defence designed from the ground up to meet the continent's regulatory requirements, data sovereignty needs, and evolving threat landscape.
European Data Sovereignty
Designed to keep data where it belongs — within European jurisdictions, compliant with GDPR and emerging EU cyber regulations.
Built for Modern Threats
Engineered to address the threat landscape European businesses face today, not retrofitted from legacy architectures.
Scottish Innovation
Developed within Scotland's world-leading cyber security ecosystem, backed by IP protection and innovation funding.
We're building a community around using AI well
AI is already inside every organisation, whether it's been sanctioned or not. We're bringing together the people figuring out how to embrace it — helping organisations adopt AI with the governance, guardrails and confidence to use it safely rather than block it. Add your email to follow along, share what you're seeing, and hear first as we build.
Scottish-built expertise, European ambition
Plaid Security Ltd is a cyber security consultancy based in central Scotland. We help businesses across the Forth Valley and beyond get certified and stay compliant — from sole traders taking on their first Cyber Essentials certification to established organisations that need their policies, governance, and compliance evidence in order.
We're also developing a new, innovative cyber security solution designed specifically for the European market. Born from the recognition that European businesses deserve security tools built for European regulatory, sovereignty, and threat requirements — not adapted from solutions designed elsewhere. Our device is currently patent-pending with the UKIPO.
We're proud to be part of Scotland's world-leading cyber security cluster, supported by Business Gateway, Scottish Enterprise, and ScotlandIS.
Part of Scotland's Digital Ecosystem
Plaid Security is a proud ScotlandIS Startup Member and is certified to both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus — the Cyber Essentials standard we help our clients reach is one we hold ourselves. The badges below link to our certificates on the registry.
Membership gives us access to Scotland's cyber and data clusters, early-stage talent pipelines via the ePlacement programme, and a direct voice to Scottish and UK Government policy makers on the issues that matter to our industry.
