How Active Cyber scaled teams in 72 hours with SPG

 

48–72 hours to onboard specialist consultants

Certified and vetted candidates

3 Weeks of additional work saved

 

 

 

Active Cyber, a recognised leader in delivering Identity and Cloud Security solutions, faced a growing demand for specialised expertise to support multiple concurrent projects. Their internal teams were highly skilled, but upcoming deadlines required an immediate boost in capacity without committing to long term headcount. By partnering with us, Active Cyber gained access to certified contract consultants who could integrate seamlessly into their existing teams. This approach allowed them to accelerate delivery, reduce costs, and introduce niche technical capabilities that strengthened their overall delivery capability.

 

Challenge   As the pace of cybersecurity threats and digital transformation accelerated, Active Cyber needed to scale its delivery capability rapidly. They weremanaging a portfolio of critical projects that demanded advanced skills in Identity and Cloud Security, capabilities not easily sourced in the permanent labour market within tight timeframes. Full time recruitment would have been costly and slow, and there was no guarantee that workload would remain high enough to justify permanent hires. The challenge was to find a flexible, high quality resource model that could address immediate project needs while aligning with cost control objectives.

 

Solution

 

We worked closely with Active Cyber to design a resource augmentation strategy that delivered exactly the talent they needed, fast. Within 48 to 72 hours we were able to place certified, fully vetted and referenced consultants into key roles. These specialists brought deep technical expertise in Identity and Cloud Security, ensuring they could make an immediate impact. The engagement model was deliberately flexible, with consultants working on an hourly basis to enable Active Cyber to align resource costs directly with project demand. The ability to scale teams up or down at short notice meant the business could stay agile without sacrificing quality or delivery speed.

 

 

Speed ability to build a team at speed

Skills access to niche, high-demand skills

 

The outcome was a significant win for Active Cyber across delivery, efficiency, and cost. Projects were completed on schedule, meeting all quality and security standards. By using hourly contract resources instead of permanent hires, Active Cyber optimised expenditure while still securing top tier talent. The introduction of niche technical skills expanded the company’s in house capabilities, giving them a stronger position for future projects. Most notably, the on demand nature of the engagement saved an estimated three weeks of additional work time, helping the business deliver outcomes faster and with greater efficiency.
