Who We Are
Norton Consultancy
Criminal Insight. Business Resilience. Leadership Confidence.
Norton Consultancy Ltd was founded to do one thing differently: help organisations think like attackers so they can defend like professionals.
Led by Paul Peters, a former Detective Superintendent with over 30 years of service investigating serious crime, cybercrime, and fraud, Norton Consultancy blends frontline law enforcement experience with executive-level leadership expertise.
Unlike traditional cyber consultancies that focus only on technology, we take a human-centric approach rooted in criminal psychology, investigative techniques, and practical business resilience. This means we don’t just recommend tools; we help you build the culture, processes, and leadership capability to withstand modern threats.
Our services include:
Training & Exercising – realistic, scenario-based learning to build confidence and capability.
Executive Briefings – clear, actionable insights for leaders and boards including support for leaders to make strong decisions under pressure.
Strategic Planning – collaborative roadmaps to strengthen resilience and continuity.
✅ Our edge: Decades of first-hand experience in criminal behaviour and crisis management.
✅ Our outcome: Organisations that are better prepared, faster to respond, and stronger after disruption.
Whether you’re an SME, charity, or public-sector organisation, Norton Consultancy offers objective, independent advice and training to help you navigate risk, protect your people, and sustain your mission.
