About Clockwork Cyber

Cyber Security Support From Someone Who Understands Both The Security And The Business.

John Hay

CEO

Built On Real Experience, Not Just Credentials.

I have worked in cyber security leadership and service delivery, helping organisations improve security, meet compliance requirements and make better-informed decisions. My background combines practical cyber experience with leadership responsibility, which means I understand both the technical detail and the commercial reality businesses are dealing with.

Clockwork Cyber was set up to offer a more direct, supportive and straightforward service for organisations that need trusted guidance without unnecessary complexity. Many smaller businesses know cyber security matters, but do not always have the time, confidence or internal resource to work through certification and security improvement alone.

My approach is built around plain-English advice, practical support and personal service. The aim is to help businesses understand what is required, take sensible action and move forward with confidence.

Laptop and desk workspace

"The businesses I work with do not need a lengthy engagement or a complex report they cannot act on. They need someone to be straight with them — and then help them get it done."

How I Work With Clients

Three things that stay true on every engagement, regardless of the service or the size of the business.

Clear advice, always.

No jargon. No vague answers. No report written for the sake of it. You will always know what we found, what it means for your business, and exactly what to do about it.

Support that fits your reality

Smaller businesses do not have a dedicated security team or an unlimited budget. Every service here is designed with that in mind — practical, proportionate, and built to move at your pace.

Straightforward from start to finish.

Clear communication. Defined next steps. No disappearing between milestones. You will always know where things stand and what happens next — without having to chase.
