Practitioner Built
The platform reflects work the founders have done for real teams, audits, customers and boards. Every design decision is grounded in experience, not assumption.
About Westport Cyber
Built by practitioners who have done this for real.
From experience we have seen how organisations were investing in security tools, completing frameworks and building policies — yet still struggling to answer basic questions from customers, auditors and boards. We built Westport Cyber to close that gap.
Meet the practitioners building Westport Cyber and learn how the platform connects cybersecurity work to compliance proof.

Our Mission
To make cybersecurity and compliance genuinely manageable for organisations that need practical protection, reliable evidence and less tool sprawl — without the complexity, cost or implementation overhead that comes with enterprise security platforms.
The Problem We Solve
Security teams were buying point solutions, exporting evidence into spreadsheets, manually mapping controls to frameworks and still repeating the same explanations to customers and boards. Compliance had become a separate workstream from security itself — time-consuming, fragile and disconnected from the work actually being done.
Westport Cyber treats configuration findings, policy records, vendor reviews, awareness activity and governance tasks as connected proof points — so that good security practice and compliance evidence become the same thing, not two parallel efforts.
What Sets Us Apart
Evidence First
Every module is designed to make security posture easier to prove, not just easier to describe. Evidence that survives scrutiny is built into the product from the ground up.
Fast to Value
Quick setup, clear findings and defined action paths — without the long implementation cycles that slow down teams who need to move quickly.
Our Founders
Bart McDonough — Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
Bart brings deep practitioner experience from building and advising cybersecurity programmes across complex organisations. He translates that experience into product decisions that operators can act on quickly — without needing a security team of ten to get value from day one.
Alan Stock — Co-Founder & Chief Security Officer
Alan's focus is operational security, resilience and customer delivery. With a bias toward practical controls and evidence teams can stand behind, he ensures that what Westport Cyber delivers holds up in the moments that matter — whether that's an audit, a customer question or a board presentation.
