iomart

iomart has been running UK infrastructure since 1998. The threat surface is straightforward: they operate 12 data centres across the United Kingdom, serving over 9,000 organisations globally. Their core proposition is secure managed cloud - private, public, hybrid - with cyber security and data protection baked into the offering rather than bolted on. The security team operates across cloud infrastructure management, data protection, and cyber security domains, working inside a vertically integrated stack where they own and manage the physical and virtual layers. The company positions itself as the UK's leading secure cloud managed services provider, with service guarantees and in-house technical expertise as operational commitments. The work here isn't about defending a single product - it's about protecting the managed environments of thousands of organisations undergoing digital transformation. That means securing hybrid architectures, enforcing data protection obligations, and maintaining uptime across a distributed footprint of 12 UK-based facilities. For security professionals, the scope is infrastructure-level: hardening cloud environments, managing compliance across multi-tenant platforms, and responding to incidents that could cascade across thousands of downstream customers. The stakes are multiplied by scale - one misconfiguration doesn't affect one client, it affects the fabric.
