About

About Clockwork Robot Ltd

Clockwork Robot Ltd is a UK-based AI technology company developing innovative software solutions that transform complex, labour-intensive business processes through intelligent automation.

Our flagship product, CyConex, is an AI-powered cyber security assurance platform designed to address the growing cost, complexity and resource demands associated with assessing and demonstrating cyber security compliance.

The Challenge

Organisations face increasing pressure to demonstrate effective cyber security controls across multiple regulatory and assurance frameworks. However, traditional assurance remains heavily dependent on manual evidence collection, document reviews, spreadsheets and specialist expertise.

These approaches are expensive, time-consuming and difficult to scale, particularly for organisations managing complex IT environments, extensive supply chains or demanding regulatory requirements.

Our Technology

CyConex combines large language models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), structured assessment workflows and technical evidence analysis to evaluate organisational security controls against established frameworks, including:

  • NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)

  • ISO 27001

  • Cyber Essentials

  • NIST SP 800-53

  • Supplier and third-party security assurance requirements

The platform analyses policies, procedures and technical evidence to generate structured, explainable assessments supported by traceable evidence, confidence indicators and actionable findings.

Human oversight remains central to the platform, enabling security professionals to inspect, challenge and validate AI-generated conclusions.

Our objective is not simply to automate existing assessment processes, but to enable a transition towards more efficient, consistent and continuous cyber security assurance.

Development and Market Focus

CyConex is a functioning software platform with core assessment, evidence management and reporting capabilities developed and tested in a controlled environment.

Our technology is particularly relevant to organisations operating in defence, central government, critical national infrastructure, managed services and professional services, where assurance requirements are extensive and evidence quality is critical.

Collaboration and Innovation

Clockwork Robot is seeking strategic technology and deployment partners interested in applying trustworthy AI to real-world cyber security assurance challenges.

Through the Innovate UK BridgeAI Deployment Catalyst programme, we are particularly interested in collaborating with organisations that have established internal cyber security, governance, risk or compliance functions.

We aim to validate CyConex in operational environments, demonstrate measurable improvements in assessment efficiency and consistency, and establish a foundation for wider commercial deployment.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make high-quality cyber security assurance more accessible, scalable and sustainable through the responsible application of artificial intelligence.

By combining advanced AI capabilities with established security assurance methodologies and human expertise, Clockwork Robot aims to fundamentally improve how organisations understand, demonstrate and maintain their cyber security posture.
