About CORVID

CORVID was developed in 2013 to safeguard Ultra's military, aerospace, and critical infrastructure data, as well as that of its customers and supply chain. Ultra identified that traditional cyber defences were unable to combat the evolving complexity of cyber threats – CORVID was created to provide a more comprehensive solution to the cyber problem.

The protection CORVID offered to solve Ultra’s cyber challenges was so successful that the decision was taken to make the services available commercially. We’ve been leveraging our technologies, capabilities, and people to deliver industry-leading cyber protection for ourselves and our customers from the start.

We’re based in Cheltenham and that’s not a coincidence. As a fast-growing hub for cyber security in the UK, the talent and opportunities here are unrivalled.

CREST – an internationally-recognised certification for our cyber security incident response service.

HM Government G-Cloud – we are a registered supplier under the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 12 Framework.

GDPR Foundation and Practitioner – our consultants are accredited by the International Board for IT Governance Qualifications (IBITGQ) for both EU GDPR Foundation and EU GDPR Practitioner.

CIISec – we are accredited at Senior Practitioner level by the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) – a widely-recognised, competency-based membership organisation that ensures information security specialists meet the highest professional standards.

NCSC – we have a close partnership with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and our consultants are NCSC-certified in the Senior SIRA role. Having NCSC certification permits our consultants to work on UK government and Ministry of Defence (MoD) contracts.

Everything we do is driven by intelligence. Our company name comes from corvidae – the Latin name for the family of birds such as crows and ravens, which display remarkable intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
