CyXcel achieves NCSC CIR status

​

Global cybersecurity consultancy, CyXcel, a business division of leading law firm Weightmans LLP, announces that it is just one of two law firms to achieve NCSC Cyber Incident Response (CIR) Approved Vendor status.

Achieved by only 43 companies in total in the UK, NCSC CIR status is a crucial benchmark for organizations delivering incident response services set by the UK government’s leading cybersecurity authority.  It demonstrates CyXcel’s technical capability, experience, and operational effectiveness to handle serious cyber incidents, and confirms CyXcel’s commitment to excellence and delivering top-tier incident response services for its clients.

“This achievement demonstrates that our team has undergone rigorous assessment, meeting the highest industry standards and has strengthened our reputation as a trusted and credible cyber security provider,” says Steve Sandford, Partner, Digital Forensics & Incident Response, CyXcel.  “For our clients, this means confidence in the quality of service they receive, knowing they are engaging with a provider that has been vetted by the UK’s most trusted cybersecurity authority.”

“Cyber incidents are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and damaging.  Organizations across all sectors face an increasing risk of ransomware attacks, data breaches, and nation-state threats.  In this environment, businesses must ensure they engage with trusted, capable, and accredited incident response providers who can handle cyber incidents with the highest level of expertise and professionalism.  We are very proud to achieve this status and by committing to these standards, we not only strengthen our own capabilities but also provide our clients with the assurance that their cybersecurity is in the safest possible hands,” comments Edward Lewis, CEO, CyXcel.
