Keystone Cyber

Keystone Cyber is a specialist cyber security recruitment company that describes itself as a cyber security workforce architect, designing and building security teams for organisations internationally. The business is one hundred per cent focused on cyber security and makes a point of not recruiting across fifty industries, arguing that exclusive focus is what allows it to find, vet and place security talent properly, because it understands the certifications, the tooling and the threat landscape. Its engagement models are deliberately varied: contingency recruitment paid only on a successful placement, retained and executive search for CISO, Head of Security and senior leadership roles, recruitment process outsourcing where it becomes the client's cyber security hiring function, contract and temporary staffing, managed service and preferred supplier arrangements under service level agreements, and payroll and employer of record so clients can onboard cyber talent in new regions without a local entity.

Keystone Cyber covers more than ten cyber security domains, spanning penetration testing and vulnerability management, digital forensics and incident response, security architecture and design, security operations and SOC work including red and blue teaming, governance, risk and compliance, cloud security and network infrastructure, threat intelligence and OSINT, information security and risk, cyber security leadership and strategy, and the sales, account management and go-to-market side of the industry. It delivers into financial services, healthcare, government and defence, technology and software, critical infrastructure, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, energy and utilities, education, professional services, aviation and aerospace, and telecommunications.

The company is headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, with active reach across South Africa, the United Kingdom, EMEA and APAC for distributed security teams. Clients cite its speed to shortlist, which comes from a pre-vetted network and produces qualified shortlists in days rather than weeks with no mismatched CVs, and its partnership approach of embedding into a client's hiring process to understand the stack, the culture and the threat landscape.
