Making Complex Projects Manageable
IT, Cybersecurity and Data Protection projects can put pressure on day-to-day business operations. Pathfinder keeps your project organised, visible and on track so that your focus remains business-as-usual with minimal disruption.
Every stage is managed clearly from planning through to project delivery, so you know what to expect. Our commitment is projects delivered on time, in budget, and compliant with regulations.
CLIENTS WE’VE WORKED WITH
Our services
Cybersecurity
Cyber threats evolve fast. We assess controls, close gaps and protect data, systems and people. Using recognised frameworks (Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, NIST CSF), we harden access, secure backups, cut third-party risk and rehearse incident playbooks. Result: fewer breaches, faster recovery, and a culture that treats security as routine, not a crisis. Improvements stay measurable and aligned to your business goals.
IT Project Management
Delivering IT into your company should never impact your day-to-day business. We work with our clients to clarify their goals, planning realistic timelines, identifying risks and delivering to targets. Clear communication of milestones, responsibilities and progress updates keep delivery on track and ensure that you stay fully informed of your project’s status.
Data Protection
We embed practical privacy. From ROPA and DPIAs to DSAR handling, retention schedules and lawful bases, we design compliant processes people actually follow. We fix cookie and notice issues, manage international transfers (IDTAs/SCCs) and provide vDPO support to keep you onside with UK GDPR/DPA 2018. Expect reduced risk, clear accountability and documentation that stands up to scrutiny – without slowing the business.
Achraf Husani
Head of Projects - International Distribution Compliance
Pathfinder worked with us for a year as Data Privacy consultants. We appreciated particularly their detailed expertise and advice on this matter, and also their organisational / project management skills. It was a real pleasure to work with them and would definitely recommend them if you need Data Privacy expertise.
Mark Child
Chief Executive
I have worked with Pathfinder on a number of projects. They are always a “go to” and incredibly reliable, knowledgeable and diligent. I’d have no hesitation recommending them to any organisation as a rare commodity in this market in terms of always wanting to do the best job possible and have never let me down. They always establish an effective rapport with clients and are well liked. We invariably receive positive feedback as to their contribution and engagement style. They have a “keen eye” for detail and the ability to clearly and concisely articulate what are often highly technical subject matters into language that is clearly understood.
Peter Wilson
Head of Asset Management
Pathfinder were great in being able to hit the ground running with what was a complex and safety-critical technology project. They also had a good work ethic, keeping us informed of progress along the way but also coming up with solutions to problems rather than just presenting problems and leaving it to us to solve. Installation and testing of the equipment across the estate was a thorny issue which I was relieved Pathfinder managed especially well. I’d have no problem in recommending them to anyone looking to deliver technology into their business.
Cheila Dos Santos
Head of Cyber Programme Delivery
Pathfinder demonstrated the ability to jump into just about anything, such as third-party assurance. They were proactive in identifying risks and issues and had a strong problem-solving ability to mitigate any potential threats. They are an asset to any organisation
Matthew Vaggers
Senior Legal Advisor
Pathfinder’s considerable knowledge, experience and pragmatism were invaluable. They adapted quickly to a complicated company group structure and drove the project forward in all aspects, liaising well with senior stakeholders, IT Teams, the Legal Team and the wider business alike to find sustainable and workable solutions to cross-group compliance needs.
Bruna Bonomi
IT Programme Director
Pathfinder conducted a GDPR compliance audit that was thorough and in-depth. They then backed that up with recommendations and a project plan that was both comprehensive and covered all the issues to hand. They were a pleasure to work with, and I’d recommend their services to other companies worried about GDPR compliance.

How We Work with You
Our approach is simple: clear roles, transparent communication and projects delivered with minimal disruption.
Milestones and responsibilities agreed from the start
We’re careful to include all stakeholders across diverse functions, clarify roles and responsibilities and create a project roadmap. You’ll always have a clear reference point for project progress, and for forecasting outcomes.
Personal progress updates with clear next actions
You won’t be left wondering what’s happening. We proactively provide updates, flagging any required business input or delivery bottlenecks, and suggest anticipatory corrective actions before they become project critical.
Delivery on time and to scope – even under pressure.
We have extensive experience of working to comply with strict regulatory deadlines and tight timescales. With clients who come from a wide range of sectors, we’re familiar with rapid delivery in complex settings.
Agile experience across a wide range of sectors
Whatever your sector, we tailor our approach to your specific needs. Each industry has its own challenges, and we’re known for flexing our extensive technical expertise to your project, whether in the UK or internationally.
Does Pathfinder have the depth of experience to handle our environment quickly?
Yes – we have over 20 years’ experience in IT, including Project Management, Data Protection (before anyone had even heard of GDPR!) and Cybersecurity, including knowledge of project governance (Agile/PRINCE2/MSP), security frameworks (Cyber Essentials, NIST CSF/800-53, ISO 27001 practices), and UK GDPR/DPA 2018 operations (ROPA and DPIAs).
I have a restricted budget - will costs creep?
We price for outcomes, not endless hours. We offer several service models such as Fixed-Fee deliverables, Retainers, T&M (with a not-to-exceed cap) or Day Rate for more open-ended requirements. We have a model to suit you, and champion transparent costing.
Will you fit around our teams and avoid lock-in?
Unlike some other consultancies, we don’t “land and expand”. We integrate with your in-house IT provider, programme managers, legal counsel and anyone else we need to work with. We work to any internal standards you have and as soon as we’ve delivered our work, we’ll give you a handover pack and any training needed.
Do you provide Cybersecurity and Data Protection advice as part of project delivery?
Yes – our experience includes GDRPR, DORA, NIST and other regulatory frameworks. We always identify cyber risks and build data protection compliance into the project plan so that security is not an afterthought.
