Protecting What Matters Most.

Wildcard Group is a boutique security partner for organisations that refuse to leave risk to chance. From external threats to insider risks to executive exposure, we handle what others overlook.

Our Services

Resilience

Incident
Response

When an incident hits, you need someone who has been through such a situation. The Wildcard Group team has dealt with hundreds of incidents large and small from companies worldwide. Our Incident Commander takes the reins during your crisis, coordinating the technical response, briefing the C-suite, and supporting you with the needed information throughout the incident so you can focus on making the right tactical and strategic business decisions.

  • Incident command leadership
  • Executive & board communication during crises
  • Post-incident retrospective & lessons learned
  • Coordination with technical response partners

Investigations &
Forensics

Our DFIR services are focused around providing you actionable reporting deliverables, not just a fancy report. We focus on providing you with a report you can actually use to make you more secure and resilient. We will find out what actually happened by conducting deep-dive investigative work by senior incident responders, all with the goal to minimise the risk of an incident happening again.

  • Digital Forensics

IR²

Incident Readiness × Response

Retained partnership for organisations that want an experienced incident commander on standby without the overhead of maintaining that seniority in-house. We prepare your team through readiness work and drills, and when an incident hits, our Incident Commander takes the reins to lead the response. Deep technical work is delivered by our own senior team and, when scope demands it, by trusted response partners under our coordination. Prepaid hours can be used throughout the year, deployable across all our services: preparation, advisory, and response as needed.

  • Incident command leadership by a senior Wildcard Incident Commander
  • Prepaid hours deployable across readiness, advisory, and incident response
  • IR Plan and Playbook development, refreshed annually
  • Tabletop exercises, built around your real threat landscape
  • Threat Defence Assessment
  • Quarterly review and roadmap update
  • Deep technical response coordination via Wildcard senior team and trusted partners

Digital Guardian

Personal Security Programme

Your organisation's security team secures the office. Your personal devices, your family's accounts, your home network: those live beyond their reach. Our Digital Guardian programme closes that gap with an active team that monitors, investigates and hardens your personal digital environment. Fully covered and completely private.

  • Personal OSINT profile and threat assessment
  • Digital footprint mapping & reduction
  • Continuous monitoring across open web, dark web and data breaches
  • Account and device hardening across all your environments
  • Family extension available under a separate private agreement

Insider Risk
Programme

End-to-End IRMP Build

We assist you in creating a fully functioning insider risk management programme. We will advise and guide you on the governance, policy, detection use cases and monitoring architecture, and then train your people. Built on Carnegie Mellon CERT methodology, adapted to your organisation's reality and risk profile.

  • Crown jewels mapping and risk assessment
  • Policy framework and governance design
  • Detection use cases and monitoring architecture
  • Awareness training across all staff layers
  • CERT 22 best practices as delivery framework

How We Work

Three principles that shape every engagement.

Fundamentals first

Most organisations do not need the latest tool. They need the basics done well, consistently. That is what actually moves the risk needle. We ground our work in proven, practical frameworks like CIS Controls, CERT, MITRE, NIS2, and more. We focus on what moves the needle and actually makes you more secure and resilient.

Impact over deliverables

We do not measure success by reports shipped. We measure it by whether your security posture is meaningfully better six months after our work and you still want to work with us in the future.

Thinking together with you

We do not hand you a strategy and walk away. We build it with your team so the people who will run it after we leave actually can own it. That is how the work outlives the engagement.

About Wildcard

A Different Kind of Security Partner

A wildcard is the pattern that matches everything. The character that catches what others miss. That's not just where our name comes from, it's how we work.

We started our careers in the military, in combat troops and CIS Operations, and transitioned into cyber operations: digital forensics, cyber intelligence, espionage cases, counter-terror work, and hundreds of high-stakes incident response cases for organisations of every size across the globe. The ones where the margin for error was small and the stakes were real. That experience became Wildcard Digital Forensics, and later grew into Wildcard Group.

Years of that work teaches you things. You learn how organisations actually fail, how threats behave once they're already inside, and where the gaps in even solid security programmes tend to be. More often than not, it comes down to implementing and maintaining basic cyberhygiene.

We've seen nation-state actors. We know what that threat looks like. And we'll be the first to tell you that most organisations don't need to protect themselves against it. What most need is solid, pragmatic security work at a level that genuinely matters, and there's more of that available than most people realise. For those who do operate at higher risk, we can advise at that level too. Either way, we'll be straight with you about which one actually applies.

That's the experience and the mindset on how we operate at Wildcard Group.

Practitioner-Led

Every engagement is led by analysts and consultants with years of hands-on investigation experience.

Vendor-Independent

We advise on what you need, not what we sell. No tools to push, no licences to upsell.

Discreet

Your trust is everything. We operate with absolute confidentiality, always.

No Nonsense

We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Straight talk, clear recommendations, real results.

What Sets Us Apart

Elite Security for Peace of Mind

Security shouldn't keep you up at night... that's our job. We give you the confidence that your risks are understood, your people are protected, and the right measures are in place. So you can focus on what matters.

Threat-Informed Defence

Everything we do starts from how threats actually operate. Our methodology is built on hundreds of real cases for companies worldwide across incident readiness, investigations, insider risk, executive protection, and advisory work.

Multidisciplinary Team

Governance, screening, awareness, and forensics: you get the full picture, not just the technical slice. Including accredited private investigators for screening & OSINT engagements.

Belgian Roots, European Reach

We're based in Belgium and we work across Europe. When you engage us, you get a team that understands your regulatory landscape, knows how business works here, and gives you the peace of mind that your security is in the hands of people who genuinely know the landscape.
