Case Study: the UK Department for Health and Social Care’s Test & Trace achieves secure multi-cloud rapid response with NCC Group

How We Helped Secure UK Test & Trace and UKHSA

NCC Group supported a leading UK Health Care Company during the rapid launch of the UK’s Test & Trace COVID-19 response, helping secure cloud-based platforms and mobile applications under extreme time pressure. The challenge was to protect highly sensitive public health data, support real-time policy changes, and maintain resilience across a large, public-facing, multi-cloud environment used by thousands of users and multiple government and contractor teams.

NCC Group delivered end-to-end cloud cyber security services, including secure design and deployment guidance, Infrastructure as Code, a tailored security control framework, Zero Trust principles, and continuous monitoring, alerting, and incident response across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Microsoft 365. The result was the secure hosting of hundreds of workloads with no significant data leaks or exposure, access for over 15,000 users, and some of the highest security scores in AWS Well-Architected and Microsoft Cloud Assessment Framework reviews.
