Case Study: West Suffolk Council achieves stronger cybersecurity and faster remediation with SureCloud Vulnerability Assessment

SureCloud Strengthens Suffolk County Council’s Security Posture with Vulnerability Assessment Solution

West Suffolk Council, responsible for services and IT for thousands of citizens across Suffolk, faced growing cyber threats common to local authorities—high volumes of attacks, risk to sensitive personal data and potential disruption to services. To strengthen its defences the Council deployed SureCloud’s Vulnerability Assessment solution to scan internal and external networks and address the limitations of automated scanning alone.

SureCloud implemented a managed vulnerability assessment service combining scheduled scans with expert analysis, validation and prioritisation, plus a dashboard, summary and technical reports and a portal to track fixes. As a result, West Suffolk Council reports greater confidence in its data protection, faster prioritisation and remediation of risks, reduced false positives/negatives and time and resource savings, while stakeholders now receive clear, professional reports to support remediation decisions.
