Our take

NCC Group is a global cyber and software resilience businesses that assesses, develops and manages cyber threats. The company operates across multiple sectors, geographies and technologies but with the universal mission of communicating the best ways to keep businesses, software and personal data safe.

As we become more entrenched in the digital age, businesses are more vulnerable to cyber-related risk, and this is where NCC Group comes in. Its services work to make the Internet safer and to change the way that organisations think about cyber security. It continues to build momentum as our society becomes increasingly connected but more uncertain.

NCC Group brought on Mike Maddison as CEO in 2022, who previously ushered in tech success at EY Group. However, 2023 saw NCC fall in line with the many other financially strained tech companies in light of changing market dynamics and undertake several rounds of layoffs. Regardless, it is still performing robustly and attracting investors such as Kelso group.

Company values

  • We work together - No matter how brilliant an individual might be, they are no match for a team. Our best and most impactful work has always resulted from collaboration. We act in the best interests of the whole Group, and we never miss an opportunity to help – each other and our customers
  • We are brilliantly creative - We like to win. We are brilliantly creative – not pointlessly or stupidly or obstructively creative. We like to and are good at solving hard problems. We work hard, however in our world, success doesn’t just come from hard work – it’s from looking at things differently and never being satisfied with the way things are
  • We embrace difference - The ability to think in a different way (to, for example, how systems were intended to be used) is what leads to much cyber vulnerability and is the cornerstone of the security testing and risk work we do.
  • We take responsibility - We take responsibility to get things done in the right way. We care about the impact our actions have on others and consider and involve relevant stakeholders. Taking pride in our work is driven by the personal understanding we have of what is expected, and we’re never afraid to ask for help when we need it
