About Nanorisk

Expert Security Testing,
Fair Pricing

We're a UK-based cyber security consultancy delivering enterprise-grade penetration testing without the enterprise price tag.

Who We Are

Nanorisk is a specialist cyber security consultancy based in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. We provide comprehensive penetration testing and security assessment services to organisations across the UK and internationally.

Our mission is simple: identify and help resolve vulnerabilities across your networks, applications, personnel, and facilities before malicious actors can exploit them.

We combine deep technical expertise with clear communication and competitive pricing, delivering the same quality of assessment you'd expect from a large consultancy—without the overhead costs.

Our Approach

We believe effective security testing should be accessible to organisations of all sizes. That means:

  • Fixed-fee pricing — No surprises, no hidden costs. You know exactly what you're paying before we start.
  • Direct communication — Work directly with your assessor. No layers of account managers.
  • Immediate notifications — Critical findings reported as soon as they're discovered, not weeks later.
  • Actionable reports — Clear, prioritised recommendations that your team can actually implement.
  • Ongoing support — Questions after the engagement? We're here to help.
