Case Study: a UK energy sector operator strengthens cyber resilience assurance with NCC Group

A UK energy sector operator strengthens cyber resilience assurance with NCC Group in a CAF-based audit

A UK energy sector operator, responsible for critical IT and OT infrastructure, needed to move beyond self-assessment to obtain independent, evidence-led validation of its cyber resilience position ahead of regulatory deadlines. The client engaged NCC Group, an NCSC-approved Cyber Resilience Audit scheme provider, to challenge its assumptions and identify any gaps before a formal inspection.

NCC Group delivered a collaborative Cyber Resilience Audit, conducting on-site fieldwork and evidence gathering to assess controls within the client's operational reality. The engagement validated the client’s self-assessments, provided a clear view of its cyber resilience position, and delivered practical outputs to focus improvement efforts. The results gave the client stronger evidence for senior management and regulators, ensuring their priorities were correct and building confidence for future assurance milestones.
