Lucy Burnford

Lucy Burnford is CEO at coc00n, providing cyber security services to high value, high risk individuals at a level previously only available to those under government protection. Those in positions of power and influence are at risk of ever more technically advanced, highly targeted and sophisticated cyber-attacks orchestrated by global networks of criminals. Without proactive protections, high value individuals are highly likely to encounter a serious cyber incident. coc00n provides that proactive protection. 

Prior to co-founding coc00n, Lucy ran a marketing agency for 12 years before founding a tech company in the automotive sector which became a joint venture with The AA. In 2023, she co-founded coc00n with a team of former GCHQ and NCSC cyber security experts. Following a decade at GCHQ, where projects included devising cyber security solutions for the Royal Household, Ministers, and Military personnel, the coc00n technical directors devised a unique personal mobile device protection service that secures mobile phones, tablets and laptops of high value individuals against sophisticated cyber-attacks. 

Lucy leads a team of technical experts, delivering proactive, unrivalled cyber security with absolute discretion and privacy. Clients benefit from access to a dedicated Cyber Concierge service to address any concerns about cyber risk and digital exposure.   

She works closely with high value clients, and their advisors, to bridge the gap between technical requirements and personal considerations, combining her ability to understand consumers of premium services alongside cyber expertise.
