Membership Tiers & Fees

We believe that collective cyber defence is most effective when everyone has a seat at the table. Our membership tiers are structured to reflect the diverse sizes and resources of organisations within each sector, ensuring that smaller entities can benefit from lower fees, enabling access to threat intelligence and supporting resources.

An updated tier structure and pricing model has been introduced in 2026, reflecting the significant capability enhancements we have already implemented to deliver protection and insight to members. Existing benefits will be further improved this year via additional technical uplifts.

Upcoming capabilities include cyber exercising, attack surface and leaked credential monitoring. We have evolved beyond simple sharing to become an extension of your security teams, with members citing hours saved as the biggest benefit of membership.
