NCSC Cyber Resilience Audit Scheme – Assured Service Providers

We are proud to announce our selection as one of just seven consultancies chosen to be part of the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC), Cyber Resilience Audit scheme.

Categories Cyber Resilience

This significant recognition highlights the expertise and trusted capabilities of our cyber security team, whose accreditation will enable us to conduct independent cyber audits, beginning with assessments aligned to the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF).

This latest accomplishment shows our commitment to elevating cyber resilience standards across the UK, helping organisations strengthen their defences in a time where cyber threats continue to rise.

Raising the bar for cyber resilience

As an NCSC-assured service provider, we are uniquely positioned to assist organisations in navigating the complexities of today’s cyber landscape. The CAF is designed to help businesses assess, manage, and enhance their cyber security processes. Our team’s involvement means we’re ready to guide you through this framework, delivering audits that evaluate critical areas like governance, risk management, operational resilience, and data security.

What does this mean for you?

In essence, it’s an opportunity to work with a team that combines both technical depth and a knack for translating complex cyber requirements into practical, achievable steps. Our accreditation by the NCSC means we meet the high standards set by the UK’s leading cyber authority, giving you peace of mind and confidence as you undertake your own journey toward cyber resilience.

The CAF audits we’ll be conducting aren’t about checklists and paperwork (though we love a good checklist as much as the next consultancy). They’re about ensuring you have a real, actionable understanding of your cyber security strengths and areas for improvement. From board-level insights to operational adjustments, we’re here to make cyber security something that works for your whole organisation—rather than something that simply adds to the to-do list.

A proud achievement for Waterstons

Our team has worked tirelessly to build and maintain the level of expertise and trust for this achievement. Now, with our place in the scheme, we’re excited to begin partnering with clients across sectors to deliver impactful, independent cyber audits that make a real difference.

“We’re delighted to be announced as one of a short number of consultancies who are able to support the critical national infrastructure... We'll be able to help our clients to spot gaps and areas where they could improve their cyber defences, as well as assure that those cyber defences are operating in line with best practise."
