Quorum Cyber revamps AI security services for businesses

Quorum Cyber has revamped four professional services offerings focused on securing the foundations of artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on AI adoption and related cyber risk.

The Edinburgh cybersecurity company's updated suite covers Microsoft 365 agent readiness, AI and cloud security posture, data exposure protection and governance, and data security posture management.

The four services are Agent 365 Readiness Accelerator, AI & Cloud Security Posture Assessment, AI Data Exposure Protection & Governance Accelerator, and AI Data Security Posture Management Assessment. They are intended to help organisations assess what AI systems can access, identify where sensitive data may be exposed, and decide which controls need strengthening before wider deployment.

Quorum Cyber is positioning the work around a broader shift in how businesses deploy AI tools, assistants, and agents. Many organisations are adopting these systems faster than their security, governance, and data protection processes can keep pace.

Service update

The revised offerings are designed for private sector, public sector, and not-for-profit organisations. The suite also complements Quorum Cyber's managed services portfolio, including Clarity Data & AI, by linking assessments with ongoing monitoring and risk-reduction work.

At the centre of the announcement is a focus on three areas: protecting the use of AI across the business, defending against threats that use AI, and securing the underlying data, identities, and environments on which AI systems rely. That framing reflects wider concern in the cybersecurity market that AI introduces new exposure through access permissions, data flows, and automated decision-making.

Businesses have been under pressure to make practical use of AI while retaining control of sensitive information and internal systems. Security providers have increasingly responded by packaging services around governance, posture assessment, and data visibility rather than treating AI as a stand-alone software issue.

Quorum Cyber has built its market profile around Microsoft-focused cybersecurity services. Its approach combines Microsoft security products with threat-led operational work as customers seek to manage both the opportunities and risks associated with AI deployment.

Kevin Hanes, Chief Executive Officer of Quorum Cyber, said: "AI is changing how organisations operate, how decisions are made, and how work gets done, but AI can only be trusted when the foundations beneath it are secure. Organisations need to understand what AI can access, what it can influence, and where risks exist. Trust in AI starts with secure foundations, clear governance, and visibility into how these technologies interact with critical business assets. As a Microsoft-first cybersecurity provider, Quorum Cyber helps customers combine the power of the Microsoft security ecosystem with real-world, threat-led expertise so they can embrace AI with confidence, build resilience, and stay ahead of an increasingly AI-enabled threat landscape."

The company was founded in Edinburgh in 2016 and serves customers in North America, the UK, and other markets. It is a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security and a member of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association.

The updated services suggest Quorum Cyber sees advisory and assessment work tied to AI governance as a growing part of the cybersecurity market. Rather than focusing only on defending AI systems themselves, it is directing attention to the data access, identity controls, and cloud settings that determine how much risk those systems introduce into an organisation.

That approach reflects a practical challenge facing many businesses as AI tools spread beyond pilot programmes. Once assistants and agents are connected to email, documents, cloud platforms, and internal datasets, the main security question often shifts from whether the AI model is safe to whether the surrounding environment is properly governed.

For cybersecurity providers, that creates an opening to sell reviews of permissions, data exposure, and policy controls alongside managed detection and response services. Quorum Cyber's updated suite places those checks at the centre of its AI-related offering, with an emphasis on understanding what data AI can reach and where existing protections may fall short.

Organisations that want to use AI safely need stronger visibility into how AI technologies interact with critical business assets, the company said.
