About Blue Cipher
Blue Cipher was founded by Jason Gillan, a security practitioner with 15 years’ experience across Defence, FinTech, MSPs, and SaaS organisations.
Our story
Blue Cipher was founded with a simple belief: security shouldn’t be confusing, overwhelming, or bolted on as an afterthought.
After 15 years working across Defence, FinTech, MSPs, and SaaS organisations, one pattern became impossible to ignore: most security problems weren’t caused by tools or people — they were caused by communication. Security only works when it’s accessible, understandable, and woven into every part of a business. No one should feel afraid to ask a question or admit a mistake. Security should live with everyone, not sit siloed in a single team.
Blue Cipher isn’t built on black-box consulting or confusing deliverables. We believe in clarity, transparency, and solutions you can actually own — so when we leave, your security doesn’t.
Our values
Clarity
Security should be understandable by everyone in the business, not just the people who build it.
Ownership
We build solutions you can actually own — so when we leave, your security doesn’t.
Accessibility
No business should feel that security is too complex or expensive to get right.
Who we work with
We work primarily with SMBs that don’t have an internal security function — companies undergoing growth or scaling, and startups figuring out where to begin. Our typical client is between 20 and 250 employees, operating in sectors like SaaS, FinTech, professional services, or public sector supply chains.
What they have in common: security has become urgent, the landscape feels overwhelming, and they want a clear path forward without the jargon.
