West Ham United is proud to announce a multi-year extension of its partnership with Salus, increasing the strong, trusted relationship between the Club and its Official Cyber Security Partner.
Since the partnership started in 2024, Salus has played a key role in protecting the Club’s expanding operations. They have helped the club achieve a 30% annual reduction in cyber vulnerabilities and a 40% faster remediation turnaround.
West Ham United’s matchday LED systems at London Stadium, along with the Club’s digital platforms, will feature increased visibility of Salus branding.
This multi-year renewal with Salus will see an improved remit to ensure that West Ham United remains fully protected against evolving cyber threats across the industry.
This extended collaboration reflects the trust and confidence built between both organisations and a shared objective of true growth. Salus will be working closely with departments at West Ham United to build best-in-class infrastructure across the club.
Director of IT at West Ham United, Mo Ali, commented: “Over the past 12 months, we have built a fantastic working relationship with Salus to assess and refine our cyber security protocols. Primarily, we needed to conduct extensive PEN Testing of our networks, and after the successful implementation of their recommendations we will also be working with them on aligning our internal policies, processes, and personnel with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), identifying and strengthening our infrastructure.”
“Having a partner with Salus’ expertise gives me the utmost confidence that we will continue to have robust processes in place to protect us against new and emerging cyber-attacks that continue to threaten our industry.”
Nathan Thompson, Executive Director at West Ham United, commented: “Salus has become a vital element of our digital ecosystem, and we are delighted to extend our partnership. As a Club, we take pride in our innovative approach to growth, and this partnership will allow us to further our international expansion.”
“With Salus receiving a more visible presence at London Stadium on West Ham United matchdays through new digital LED advertising, we are excited to help them drive extensive business growth to a new global audience.”
Greg King, Sales Director at Salus, commented: “After a very successful year of supporting West Ham United’s cyber maturity roadmap through multiple workstreams, it’s very exciting to continue providing consultancy through our technical, assurance, and managed services capabilities. The last 12 months have helped forge a strong relationship of collaboration and trust between our two organisations, and we look forward to building on this foundation and further developing West Ham United’s cyber capabilities.”
“Through penetration testing, NIST consultancy, data privacy enhancements, cyber training, and managed security solutions, Salus has positioned West Ham United as an early adopter of leading regulatory standards and best practices.”
