Open standards over closed systems
Every framework, every control, every cross-mapping is built on open, recognised standards. No proprietary black boxes. No hidden logic.
Why 786 Cyber exists
After 25 years working across global security vendors — from large public companies to venture-funded startups — the same pattern kept repeating. Half-baked solutions, made deliberately complex to obscure what they could not actually do. Months to deploy. Longer still before they produced anything meaningful. And then — expensive professional services to customise what should have been in the product, or managed contracts to operate what customers were sold as self-service.
786 Cyber was built in direct response to that experience. An ecosystem grounded in open standards, genuine expertise, and a belief that every organisation — regardless of size, sector, or budget — deserves real protection. Not compliance theatre. Not fear-based tooling. Not dependency by design.
The goal is an organisation that owns its security programme, understands its posture, and can prove it — without needing a specialist team or a vendor-managed service to keep it running.
