Copy for cybersecurity vendors, written for the people who buy security
I write white papers, blog posts, web copy and press releases for cybersecurity companies selling to CISOs, security architects and IT risk teams. I’ve worked agency-side for Kaspersky and many smaller security brands, and covered cybersecurity as an IT journalist.
Writing for security buyers requires technical credibility without either drowning the non-technical reader in jargon or resorting to fear-based hype that security professionals are already used to.
What I write
- White papers and reports on threat research, compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR) and product positioning
- Blog posts and Q&As that aim to support SEO and AI search visibility (GEO)
- Web copy for product and solution pages that speak to security buyers
- Press releases covering research and product launches
Rates
£500 per day + VAT. A typical blog post or Q&A is one day, including a subject matter expert interview and one round of edits. White papers and longer reports are quoted per project once scope is confirmed.
FAQ
What does a cybersecurity copywriter do?
It’s essential that I can communicate a technical message in plain English that even non-technical people can understand. Cybersecurity is complex, and many C-level decision-makers may not have the technical knowledge to understand a threat and may switch off unless you talk their language.
How do you tend to work on cybersecurity copywriting projects?
It all starts with a quick online call over Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, whichever suits you. I will take a brief, raise any questions, then interview any relevant spokespeople. I will present the first draft within the agreed timeframe, and the fee includes a round of edits.
What do you need from us to get started?
I use a briefing template, or you may have your own, which should include guidance around messaging, target audiences, and tone of voice. This essential groundwork means we are more likely to get it right first time.
