Richter, a global consulting firm specialising in civil, structural and geotechnical engineering, has selected Red Helix to strengthen its cyber security. The collaboration has empowered Richter to better manage IT risks, streamline compliance processes and successfully secure major infrastructure projects, including work on the UK’s high-speed rail project, HS2.

Operating within a globally interconnected supply chain, Richter turned to Red Helix to improve its cyber security and risk management in an age of greater threats, heightened regulation and increased expectations among supply chain partners and customers. Being a lean SME, Richter did not have limitless resources and was spending excessive time manually addressing security alerts.

By implementing Red Helix’s managed cyber security services - including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Network Detection and Response (NDR), 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) monitoring, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Richter is now able to safeguard its projects and provide the strongest possible reassurance to its broader networks of suppliers, contractors and stakeholders.

Jordan Lance, Director of IT, Richter, said: “Our collaboration with Red Helix has transformed our security posture and given partners, clients and stakeholders the reassurance they need to do business with us. Their support has allowed us to win some large construction frameworks and provided us with an incredible pool of cyber security professionals we would not otherwise have had access to.”

The partnership began with a comprehensive audit of Richter’s infrastructure, leading to tailored solutions that have dramatically improved visibility of cyber threats and reduced response times. Red Helix’s 24/7 SOC proactively monitors Richter’s environment, resolving most issues before they require intervention from the internal IT team - a shift that has saved valuable time and boosted operational efficiency.

Richter has also benefitted from enhanced key security metrics, enabling the company to fulfil more advanced reporting and data sovereignty requirements that are essential for operating in the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) sector today. It has streamlined compliance with critical frameworks such as ISO, Cyber Essentials, and NIST, generating automated weekly reports that help Richter maintain its certifications.

Tom Exelby, Head of Cyber Security, Red Helix said: “It's a privilege to work so closely with Richter, supporting the strengthening of their cyber security posture by providing the skills and experience of our team alongside our advanced security platform. As always, we have built our provision around Richter’s specific needs and will continue to keep pace with the company’s evolving requirements, ensuring it remains protected by the most effective security available.”
