About Hexiosec’s products
Hexiosec ASM — External Attack Surface Management.
Built for: Heads of Information Security; IT Security Managers; Network/Infrastructure Leads; Risk and Compliance Officers; CISOs and senior cyber roles.
What it solves: Hexiosec ASM helps institutions find and fix security risks in their online-facing systems before attackers can exploit them. It shows what parts of your IT are exposed to the internet — including anything forgotten or misconfigured — and checks them for vulnerabilities, helping reduce the risk of data breaches or ransomware. This is particularly relevant for higher and further education establishments, which often have large, diverse IT environments and many publicly accessible systems that can be difficult to keep track of.
Hexiosec Transfer — UK Sovereign Secure File Transfer
Built for: Staff managing personal, financial, or confidential data; researchers and academics sharing sensitive project outputs; admin teams handling student or HR records; anyone needing a secure, compliant way to share files.
What it solves: Hexiosec Transfer provides a secure, auditable way to send sensitive, confidential or large files — without relying on email or consumer file-sharing services. It uses full end-to-end encryption, meaning no one else (not even Hexiosec) can read them in between. It also ensures UK data sovereignty, with all data stored and processed exclusively within the UK by a UK company — ideal for UK institutions with data protection obligations. This is particularly relevant for education establishments handling research data, student records, or personal information, where data security and compliance are essential.
Why Hexiosec?
Hexiosec was founded by engineers with backgrounds in UK government, intelligence, and defence. Our expertise is reflected in everything we build — from external threat monitoring to secure file handling. Our mission is to make enterprise-grade cyber resilience accessible to organisations that need it most.
Whether it’s discovering hidden threats or ensuring compliance with data protection, our products are designed for the realities of the education and research environment — where sensitive data, collaboration, and operational continuity are critical.
A shared commitment to education and research
At Hexiosec, we’re proud to join the Chest platform — a mark of quality and a network of trusted suppliers supporting the academic and research community.
“Joining Chest is a major step in our ongoing commitment to cyber security in education,” says David Griffiths, CEO at Hexiosec. “We’re excited to make our solutions more accessible and continue supporting institutions in building a safer digital future.”
