Case Study: a charity organization strengthens security and restores services with NCC Group

a charity organization saves time and resources by rebuilding security with NCC Group

NCC Group provided extensive support to a charity organization after it fell victim to a ransomware attack. The charity severely lacked dedicated cyber security resources and its small IT team was overwhelmed, especially during an ongoing move to the cloud, leaving it vulnerable. The challenge was to investigate the incident, restore critical services, and strengthen its security posture to prevent future attacks.

NCC Group's Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) investigated the attack while its Remediate team worked to rebuild systems. The solution involved moving the charity's finance system to Microsoft Azure with multi-factor authentication, rebuilding on-premise domain controllers, and implementing a full password reset program. As a result, NCC Group rectified the vulnerabilities, saving the organization considerable time and resources while becoming its trusted security advisor.
