NCC : SOC becomes second in world to be accredited by CREST

NCC Group's UK cyber security operations centre (SOC) has become one of just two to be approved by accreditation body, CREST, making it a global benchmark for SOC facilities.
Through the SOC, NCC Group's team of highly skilled cyber analysts provides customers with around the clock protective monitoring, detection and investigation capabilities, as well as expert threat intelligence and research to help clients make informed decisions about their security and risk strategies.
As well as monitoring for and responding to threats, NCC Group's SOC team also advises clients on how to deal with and resolve complex security problems.
Lee Driver, director of managed services at NCC Group, said: 'Our investment into our SOC was driven by our customers' need for high-quality managed detection and response capabilities. We enable their businesses to thrive while we look after their networks and data.
'This rubber stamp of approval from CREST demonstrates that we've been delivering and exceeding this level of service and our providing a world-class service to our customers. We work closely with our customers to resolve issues before they impact their businesses, and this recognition is testament to the skills, commitment and enthusiasm shown by our SOC team, particularly over the last few years.'
The CREST accreditation validates the company's approach and was awarded following an onsite audit of NCC Group's SOC team, processes, and technology.
CREST is a global cyber security industry body which offers companies and individuals membership, qualifications and development, as well as promoting knowledge sharing, as it aims to create a global standard of skills and service within the industry. NCC Group has been a member of CREST since its inception in 2006 and has continued to be an active supporter and contributor ever since.
In addition to its UK based SOC which is accredited by CREST, NCC Group also has a 24x7 SOC in the Netherlands.
