High-trust AI and cyber security tools for sensitive environments.

HexaSec is a UK-based AI and cyber security company building local-first, evidence-led tooling for AI assurance, defensive testing and secure adoption in regulated and defence-aligned environments.

Why HexaSec exists

We exist to make advanced AI and cyber security systems safer to deploy.

Organisations are adopting AI assistants, RAG workflows and automated security tooling. Before these systems touch sensitive data or operational workflows, teams need assurance, evidence, control and a defensible record of how they were tested.

HexaSec builds the tools, scenarios and evidence models that let security and AI engineering teams move with confidence — locally, deterministically, on terms they control.

What HexaSec is building

A focused first product, a wider direction.

HexaSec is starting with one flagship product — the AI Assurance Gate — and building towards a broader portfolio of defensive AI and cyber security tooling.

Pilot
— 01 / Flagship product

HexaSec AI Assurance Gate

Test, harden and evidence LLM and RAG-enabled assistants before release. Structured scenario packs, deterministic detectors, policy checks and audit-ready evidence packs.

R&D
— 02 / Direction

Defensive AI & cyber security tooling

Local-first products for cyber defence, adversarial testing, controlled simulation and security validation — informed by the assurance work we do today.

Foundation
— 03 / How we work

Research-led security engineering

Security products informed by AI research, cyber practice, assurance thinking and controlled experimentation — not vendor narrative.


Why it matters

AI is moving into real workflows faster than assurance is.

LLM assistants are being connected to internal tools, documents and policy decisions. The surface for prompt injection, data leakage, poisoned retrieval and unsafe tool actions is growing — and existing assurance models were not designed for it.

Regulated and sensitive environments cannot rely on vendor claims alone. They need repeatable testing, local-first execution and evidence reviewers can inspect.

01

AI assistants are touching real workflows

LLMs are connected to retrieval indexes, tools, ticketing systems and internal knowledge — far beyond chat.

02

Vendor claims are not assurance

Security teams need their own repeatable tests, run on their own data, in their own environment.

03

Cloud-only is not always an option

Sovereign, regulated and defence-aligned environments require local-first execution and inspectable artefacts.

04

Evidence has to outlive the meeting

Procurement, change control and audit need durable artefacts — not screenshots and vibes.

How HexaSec works

Five operating principles.

These shape every product decision — what we build, what we refuse to build and how we ship.

01
Local-first

Runs in environments where data control matters. No mandatory phone-home, no cloud dependency.

02
Evidence-led

Produces artefacts reviewers, customers and security teams can read, verify and store.

03
Deterministic

Clear checks and policy logic — not opaque scores from a black-box judge model.

04
Security-focused

Built from a cyber security and assurance perspective, with adversarial thinking by default.

05
Responsible

Focused on defensive, controlled and ethical use. Not a toolkit for live offensive operations.


Who HexaSec is for

Teams who need control, evidence and trust.

HexaSec is built for organisations where AI and cyber security decisions need to be defensible — to regulators, to customers, to leadership, and to themselves.
