The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has announced that it is opening a second level within its Cyber Incident Response (CIR) scheme, with Bridewell as one of its first assured providers.
The scheme, which ensures that victims of a cyberattack can identify trusted providers of incident response services, has introduced a second level so that more organisations can purchase assured CIR services from quality providers. For organisations that have experienced a cyberattack, this means they can rely on assured companies like Bridewell to investigate and recover from an incident.
“It’s a testament to our team and a privilege to be one of the first organisations to achieve CIR level two,” said Martin Riley, Director of Managed Security Services at Bridewell. “It continues to demonstrate our strength and capability within Incident Response and supports our journey to becoming level one. We look forward to supporting more organisations as we help them recover from incidents and provide guidance so they can defend against future threats.”
“The NCSC’s Cyber Incident Response (CIR) scheme is designed to help cyberattack victims find reliable providers of incident response services. Aimed initially at those organisations targeted by the most sophisticated threat actors, the scheme’s level 2 expansion now includes organisations of all sizes,” said Nick Benson, CEO of CREST. “As the first NCSC CIR scheme delivery partner, CREST is delighted to congratulate Bridewell for becoming one of the first level 2 NCSC CIR Assured Service Providers. This reflects the company’s ability to help private sector organisations, charities, local governments and smaller public sector organisations recover from cyberattack. And gives buyers the confidence that Bridewell has the necessary capabilities to help them.”
