Defense
Threat-led, framework-aligned, audit-ready by default
We As Web delivers cybersecurity, AI, and IT assurance for the defense industrial base — offensive security, secure-by-design engineering, OT/ICS protection, compliance instrumentation, and sustainment analytics. Embedded alongside primes, OEMs, and operators where defense software actually has to defend.

- State-sponsored adversaries & supply-chain exposureNation-state actors target the defense base through subcontractors, harvested credentials, and the boundary between corporate IT and the engineering enclave.
- IT/OT convergencePLCs, SCADA, and MES connected to the network — a single ransomware event halts production and delays deliveries to the armed forces.
- Regulatory & procurement pressureNIS2, CRA, NIST SP 800-171, IEC 62443, and prime-contractor security questionnaires arrive together — and rarely line up with available in-house security resource.
- Export-controlled data governanceProgramme data governed by policy, not individual judgement, across endpoints, third parties, and engineering systems.
Why Defense leaders choose us
Defense-grade security and assurance without the bureaucracy — delivered by teams that speak the frameworks, lead with the threat, and stay calm in complex multi-stakeholder programs.
We Speak the Frameworks
NIS2, IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-171, STANAG, the CRA, and export-control regimes instrumented into delivery — used as operating constraints, not process theatre. A single mapped-control set satisfies NIS2, the CRA, and prime questionnaires at once.
Threat-Led by Default
Work is driven by how nation-state adversaries actually operate against the defense base, prioritised by programme impact — not by raw severity from a generic scanner. Every red-team finding is mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
Calm in Complex Programs
We operate effectively alongside primes, engineering teams, OT vendors, and regulatory functions — embedded, cleared specialists who work inside the environment and own the outcome.
Defense & Aerospace Solutions
Five practice areas covering the full defense delivery surface — from adversary emulation and secure-by-design engineering to OT/ICS protection, compliance instrumentation, and sustainment analytics.
Offensive Security & Red Team
Threat-led testing that replicates the adversaries actually targeting the defense industrial base.
Secure-by-Design & Embedded Security
Security designed into the platform from the first architecture review — not bolted on at the final gate.
OT / ICS Security
Visibility and segmentation for live production — securing PLCs, SCADA, robotics, and MES without halting the line.
Compliance & Supply-Chain Assurance
Turning overlapping mandates into one defensible, audit-ready posture — evidence generated through delivery.
Asset Intelligence & Sustainment
Endpoint-driven intelligence — licence cost, mission availability, data-exfiltration risk. Higher platform availability at lower lifecycle cost, sustained.
Engineering services
The capabilities applied to deliver the solutions above — engineered for the defense industrial base and the standards its procurement and regulators actually require.
Frameworks & Standards
Fluent in the standards defense procurement, regulators, and primes actually require — mapped across every framework so a single effort satisfies multiple obligations.
Outcomes & Case Studies
Two flagship Defense case studies from the WAW portfolio — both live on the site with full detail.
Predictive Maintenance for a Defense Fleet
A defense fleet operator shifted from scheduled, calendar-based servicing to data-driven condition-based maintenance — using explainable ML and ISO 13374 data models to predict component degradation and optimise spares.
Insider Risk for Export-Controlled Technical Data
A defense prime contractor holding highly sensitive programme data partnered with We As Web to secure its digital estate — data discovery, classification-based DLP, insider-threat detection, audit-ready compliance docs.
Threat-led. Framework-aligned. Audit-ready by default.
Defense delivery that has to be all three — under nation-state adversaries and overlapping regulatory mandates.
- Embedded, cleared specialists working alongside your engineering and programme teams
- Threat-led prioritisation ranked by programme impact, not scanner severity
- Evidence generated through delivery, not assembled the week before an audit
Ask for our Defense Evidence Pack — we will map it to your environment (offensive security, product & OT assurance, compliance, or sustainment) and propose a 90-day engagement that produces audit-ready, MITRE-mapped artefacts.
