Hedgehog Security was founded in 2009 with the goal of securing the British business community one business at a time. Hedgehog Security is a CREST registered, Manchester based Penetration Testing and Security Consulting firm. Our goal is to help identify and prevent “cyber” and information security risks and threats, so you can relax and get on with your job. Operating from Spinningfields, in the heart of the commercial district of Manchester, we are able to access the world quickly and efficiently. Through active penetration testing or through our Continual Cyber Assurance program, we will always strive to bring safety and security to your business. Helping the business owners concentrate on what is important to their core business and taking the worry and concern of Cyber Security away. One of the core offerings and unique selling points of Hedgehog Security was the original Virtual Chief Information Security Officer service, or vCISO as it came to be known. Peter was the first to bring this service to market and many subsequently followed. Now the vCISO service has itself evolved. Now called CCA or Continual Cyber Assurance, it is a full tailorable solution designed to bring you peace of mind around risk and “cyber” security. Bringing together everything that worked from the vCISO service and combining it with leading penetration testing and security health checks, CCA is the next generation of service to help you stay one step closure to the attackers. | |

Knight Riders - 2017 Awards
Our extreme challenge event is over for another year and our survivors are now recovering at their desks and highly deserving of your continued support and donations for Barnardo's. With many first timers joining the event I don't think they anticipated the physical and mental exhaustion they would endure, but all survived to tell the tale and had a huge amount of fun along the way!
At the close of the event on Sunday afternoon, after all scores and votes were in, photos checked and final judges points awarded the following awards were presented by, or on behalf of, our sponsors to the winning teams and individuals who gave it 110% throughout! Very well done to you all!!
This year the Winners' slot was highly contested with very few points separating the four runners up, requiring multiple recounts and careful verification of the photos taken en-route. Congratulations go to our winners - Knight Riders of the Round Table (Digital Shadows) - who demonstrated excellent attention to detail, and literally went the extra mile for some impressive photos and videos!
The highest team fundraising total on the day was from Progress Distribution, achieving almost £3,000 - over double their target! A number of other teams are fast approaching twice their target and a mention also to team 6 who passed their target in record time this year. Keep up the good work and we could top £50,000 again this year which would be amazing!!
We must also give a special mention to the guys from Euroclear (teams 1 and 10) who have this week successfully secured over £16,000 from their employer, a huge CSR contribution to our event in support of Barnardo's! Our thanks to them and Euroclear for getting us closer to our £50k target.
Leading the pack of decorated vehicles, Trojan Rabbit took the title for best dressed car, although this might better be named "constructors championship" given the scale and special FX! Well done to those teams that expended a great amount of effort to dress your vehicles, we look forward to seeing what you come up with next year.
Similarly, hats off to Piers (6) for staying in heavy chain all weekend and for even finding an opportunity to blend in with his surroundings! I'm sure the metal poisoning will wear off soon!
We should also mention team 6 for their very detailed photo blog of the entire event challenges, and for the entertainment provided during the Trebuchet competition - not one egg fired, but all three team mates had eggs firmly cracked on their heads! Eggcellent comedy moment!
Once again additional points were accrued by our Knights gallantly assisting a bride at her wedding, featuring prominently in a number of photographs, and Matt Quinn took a late plunge into the sea on the last morning despite the strong wind and waves.
While we all suffered from sleep deprivation, mental fatigue and physical exhaustion, we should mention team 12 who once again endured a 23 hour journey to reach the start having travelled all the way from Krakow, Poland! Keep an eye out for their video of their knights running the length of London Drove also on the first morning of the rally to avoid the car bottoming out!
Please remember to upload your photos and videos, details of our shared Google album are in the rally information pack. We've put a few up here to give a flavour, but the rest will follow in the official album. There are also many on the WordPress blog if you haven't been watching.
We are very much looking forward to all the photos and videos from the extreme obstacle course, Marc (5) certainly made a splash, as did his costume on Friday. Sophie (5) and Lisa (S5) also gave John a run for his money on the water slide deploying a pre-slide brush-down technique, and full marks to Mrs B (10) for social engineering skills that left a dashing, but disappointed, staff member in his boxers on the water slide! ... "Vegas" rule applied ;)
Finally a special mention to two first time crews, 2 (MG Midget) and 14 (Land Rover), who got to grips with the cryptic route clues and put in a strong performance on the challenges too. Have you tried folding an OS map in a Midget while the top is up and it's raining?! Top effort guys!!
Thanks to everyone that took part, our sponsors and those that have already donated - we are fast approaching £40,000 raised, and with your help we could surpass the £50k marker!!
Keep up the good work and let’s make this a year to remember.

WhoDunnIT? - 2016 Awards
A truly action packed weekend and a fantastic amount of effort was put in by all over the three very long days. As always, it was a very challenging rally leaving everyone physically fatigued and mentally exhausted, most survived to tell their story! We gave extra recognition awards this year to reflect the dedication shown.
With the final scores being calculated during the return ferry crossing, we presented the following awards on behalf of our sponsors to the winning teams and individuals who really did gave it everything they had over the entire event! Very well done to everyone!!
Like last year, the Winners' slot was highly contested with only few points separating the three runners up but, with a clear margin, congratulations go to Roger Rabbit and the Pink LANthers who took first place. A confident route plot and excellent attention to detail during the drive!
There were so many excellently decorated vehicles and fantastic costumes, with some of the gentlemen wearing their dresses a little too comfortably!! Well done to all those teams that expended a great amount of effort to dress their vehicles and teams, we certainly made an impact!
Other lasting impressions and memorable moments include Georgie bearing all and swimming in the sea twice, Mark leaving the bar for the 15 minute walk back to his hotel where he arrived three hours later, Duncan showing true grit to complete the extreme high wire obstacle course, and the fact that our ferry had to return to port in France an hour after we sailed on our homeward journey!
Deerstalker.io also need a special mention; as first time ralliers they put in an amazing performance overall. They mastered the cryptic route clues, followed the route well completing the majority of challenges, and all in costume too.
Thanks to everyone that took part, our sponsors and those that have donated - we are fast approaching £50,000 raised, and with your help we hope to surpass the £50k marker again this year!!
Keep up the good work and let’s make this a record year.
