Scottish-built expertise, European ambition

Plaid Security Ltd is a cyber security consultancy based in central Scotland. We provide hands-on security expertise to businesses across the Forth Valley and beyond — from sole traders who need their first Cyber Essentials certification to mid-size organisations building out their security strategy.

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.
