Frequently Asked Questions

What industries does IRM Secure work with?

We focus on security-sensitive and regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, defence, technology, infrastructure, and professional services. Our sector depth means we bring directly relevant expertise rather than generic consulting frameworks.

Does IRM Secure work with government and public sector organisations?

Yes. IRM Secure has experience working with public sector and government-adjacent organisations, particularly in defence, infrastructure, and healthcare contexts where security, compliance, and procurement processes are complex.

Can IRM Secure help a business entering a new sector?

Yes. Our cross-sector fluency and international experience make us well placed to help organisations expand into adjacent markets — including regulatory navigation, competitive analysis, and market entry strategy design.

What size of organisations does IRM Secure work with?

We work with growth-stage businesses, mid-market companies, PE-backed organisations, and divisions of larger enterprises. Our engagement model scales to the size and complexity of the challenge, not just the size of the client.
