Case Study: UK Based Financial Service Provider reduces ransomware impact with NCC Group's Online Exposure Monitoring

Online Exposure Monitoring for UK Financial Service Provider

UK Based Financial Service Provider, a UK-based financial services organization, turned to NCC Group after a suspected ransomware incident raised concerns that sensitive data may have been stolen and exposed. The company needed to quickly determine whether the attack involved double extortion and whether any information had appeared on leak sites, paste sites, or criminal forums. NCC Group used its Online Exposure Monitoring (OXM) service to investigate the organization’s digital footprint across the clear, deep, and dark web.

NCC Group rapidly deployed OXM within hours to monitor for mentions of the client and identify any leaked data linked to the incident. The service found data believed to have been exposed, providing near real-time intelligence that helped the customer respond faster, reduce the impact of the breach, and strengthen its incident response. The solution proved so valuable that the customer extended NCC Group’s OXM service for multiple years.
