Who we are

About Culture Gem

We don't do security the usual way. We embed it into how organisations actually work.

Our story

Built from real-world experience

Culture Gem was founded in 2018 with a simple belief: security programmes fail when they ignore people. Technology matters, but it's culture that determines whether an organisation is truly resilient.

Our team has led security functions across global manufacturing, government agencies, the NHS, and major retailers. We've rebuilt security programmes after serious incidents, delivered awareness training to tens of thousands of users, and helped boards understand what cyber risk actually means for their business.

We specialise in the work that sits between strategy and operations — the difficult, human-shaped problems that frameworks alone can't solve. Whether that's changing how 61,000 people think about security, recovering trust after an incident, or translating complex risk into language a CEO can act on.

Our approach

What makes us different

We've sat in the CISO seat. We've led post-incident recovery across global organisations, rebuilt security functions from scratch, and translated cyber risk into language that boards can actually act on. That operational experience shapes everything we do.

We don't just advise — we embed. Whether it's standing up a security culture programme, running tabletop exercises, or providing interim security leadership, we work alongside your team and deliver results you can measure.

We also partner with other consultancies as a white-label specialist. Same depth, your brand, built-in margin. Direct or through a partner — the expertise is identical.
