History

Company background and the history of our products & services.

Background

Started and run by engineers from the UK Intelligence and Defence communities, we have always delivered technical consultancy. Originally that’s all we did, but then we quickly added two products to our repertoire. And now all of our products and services complement each other, helping us better serve our customers.

Innovation from customer needs

Both of our products had their genesis in our consultancy services. We built Hexiosec Transfer (or Trebuchet for personal use) because we wanted a secure way to transfer files with customers - something we do every day in delivering our services. And our Attack Surface Management product (previously FractalScan) came directly from some customer requirements.

What’s in a name?

We’ve been through two names changes - the first led to us being Red Maple Technologies, which was our name for the first few years of growth. In September 2024 we changed to Hexiosec, to bring together the great but varied things we do into a more coherent offering.
