Get certified. Stay compliant.
Plaid Security helps Scottish businesses achieve Cyber Essentials certification and get the security policies and governance behind it in order — practical, hands-on, and built around the way your business actually works.

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.
Governance & compliance, done properly
We focus on one thing and do it well: getting Scottish businesses certified and keeping them compliant. From your first Cyber Essentials assessment to the policies and evidence that hold it all together.
Cyber Essentials Readiness
The certification most Scottish businesses need for supply chain, insurance, and public sector contracts. We take you from where you are to ready-to-certify, without the guesswork.
- Gap analysis against the five CE controls
- Clear, prioritised remediation guidance
- Documentation and evidence preparation
- Support right through the assessment
Security Policy & Governance
The policies and paper trail that sit behind good security — written in plain language for the way your business actually runs, not lifted from a template that no one reads.
- Information security and acceptable use policies
- Data handling and access control processes
- Incident and business continuity planning
- Audit-ready documentation you can maintain
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. Select either badge to verify our certificate 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.
