The Start of Our Mission

The CybaVerse journey began as a boutique security consultancy, working closely with businesses that needed expert guidance and support. As the challenges grew, so did the ambition.

What began as specialist support evolved into a full operational capability, and ultimately into CybaOps, our unified platform designed to give every organisation the same clarity, speed, and control that high-performing security teams rely on.

Our mission is simple: to simplify and scale cyber security by combining AI, automation and expert-led services, to give every organisation the power to protect, detect, and respond at pace.

The Journey

2018 - The Beginning
Company founded by Oliver Spence and Gemma Blake.
2020 - North Star
After starting out as a cyber consultancy company, we made the transition to North Star Cyber Security.
2022 - Rebrand
We rebranded and CybaVerse arrived. Our service offerings were bolstered and we evolved into more than just a consultancy, with our own in house MSSP.
2024 - Investment
We launched CybaVerse AI, our first cyber security management platform, supported by seed investment that accelerated its development.
2025 - Growth
SecureAck joins CybaVerse, strengthening our mission to build a smarter, stronger platform. We secured £5 million in Series A funding, and CybaOps is born.

Our Cyber Operators

At the start of 2026, our Cyber Operators came together from across Europe at our new HQ in Portsmouth, Hampshire to mark the end of the quarter.
 
The day, led by our operations team, was built around energy, competition and a touch of controlled chaos, with a laser tag showdown that had everyone pushing hard for the win.
 
At CybaVerse, we’re intentional about the environment we build and the culture we protect. This is a glimpse into it.
 
Watch the full day unfold below.
