CyberOne has achieved NCSC Assured status as a Cyber Incident Exercising provider, further strengthening its position as a trusted leader in cyber resilience. This latest recognition reflects CyberOne’s performance-led approach to cyber security, helping organisations move beyond compliance and control ownership to build measurable, real-world resilience.
At a time when threats are escalating in frequency, speed and impact, too many organisations still mistake security investment for operational readiness. Tools alone do not prepare leadership teams, response functions or the wider business for the reality of a live cyber incident. CyberOne closes that gap by turning technical capability into tested operational resilience, ensuring organisations are not only better protected, but demonstrably prepared to respond under pressure.
NCSC Assured Cyber Incident Exercising status recognises CyberOne’s ability to design and deliver realistic, high-impact exercises that challenge decision-making, test communications and validate response across the organisation. It also reinforces CyberOne’s broader capabilities across the incident lifecycle, including CREST Incident Exercising, NCSC Cyber Incident Response - Standard Level, CREST Cyber Incident Response, CREST Security Operations Centre accreditation, membership of the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association, and Microsoft Verified Managed XDR Solution status. Together, these credentials reflect a business built to help customers prepare, detect, respond and recover with clarity and control.
“Achieving NCSC Assured Cyber Incident Exercising status is a significant milestone for CyberOne and a reflection of the standards we hold ourselves to. Organisations do not fail because they lack tools. They fail because they are not prepared for how incidents unfold in the real world. Our focus is on closing that gap, helping customers and partners test decision-making, communications and response in a way that builds real operational resilience, not just theoretical readiness.”
Philip Ridley, Director of Cyber Risk Management at CyberOne
That resilience story is further strengthened by CyberOne’s ability to support organisations across the full incident lifecycle, from preparedness and exercises through to detection, response and recovery.
“This recognition matters because it reflects how CyberOne is built to support organisations across the full incident lifecycle. We help customers prepare through realistic exercising, detect and manage threats through our 24x7x365 security operations capability, respond with accredited incident response expertise and recover with clarity, control and a clear path to stronger resilience. What sets CyberOne apart is the combination of that end-to-end operational capability with deep Microsoft Security expertise. By bringing together Microsoft’s security technologies with CyberOne’s accredited services, we help organisations do more than test their plans. We help them prove they can manage real incidents from readiness through to recovery.”
Dominic List, CEO, CyberOne
