DefendVista is a specialist UK cybersecurity consultancy for transport, haulage, logistics, warehousing and fleet operators. We grew up around operations. Our lead consultant came through military logistics, holds an MSc in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics and is CEH certified. That mix matters. When your depot manager calls at 5am, you want someone who already understands what a stalled TMS or a frozen WMS actually costs you in lost SLAs, missed slots and angry retail customers.
Below are the sectors we work in every week. Pick the one that fits you and you will find a deep dive page covering the threats, regulations, controls and questions you really need answered. If your business sits across a few of these, that is normal. Most of our clients do.
Every sector below has its own pressures, its own systems and its own version of a bad day. We have written deep dive pages for each one, with the threats, regulations and controls explained the way an operator would describe them.
Haulage businesses live and die by dispatch, telematics and the fuel card. We help UK haulage operators harden the systems that keep wheels turning, protect driver and customer data and pass the security questions retailers and 3PLs now ask in tenders.
Transport operators juggle email, payroll, vehicle tracking and a wall of supplier integrations. One compromised mailbox can redirect a six figure payment. We close those gaps without slowing your back office down.
Multi modal logistics firms run on EDI, customer portals and customs platforms. We secure the integrations that move freight, evidence your controls to enterprise customers and put a tested response plan around the systems that cannot stop.
Warehouses and 3PLs cannot ship without the WMS, handhelds and label printers. We segment operational kit from corporate IT, harden vendor remote access and make sure a single click does not stop picking across the whole site.
Fleet operators sit on telematics data, driver records and customer addresses that are catnip for fraudsters and a focus for the ICO. We bring the controls and the paperwork together so insurers, regulators and customers all get the same straight answer.
If you have between 10 and 500 staff, no internal CISO and a growing pile of customer security questionnaires, this is exactly the gap we fill. Right sized governance, real technical controls and a senior voice on your side.

Read the sector pages linked above. They were written by consultants who have sat in dispatch offices, walked warehouse floors and stood in fleet yards. If anything reads like generic IT consultancy, tell us and we will rewrite it.
