We are proud to announce that in addition to our existing Assured Consultancy service offerings, Arcanum is now also a NCSC Assured Cyber Security Consultancy (ACSC) for Security Architecture.
Our recent Security Architecture accreditation is in addition to our long-standing NCSC assured status. Arcanum has been recognised as a NCSC Assured Cyber Security Consultancy for Risk Management since the start of the scheme in 2018. We achieved ACSC status for Audit & Review in 2024 and are accredited by the NCSC to deliver Cyber Resilience Audit and CHECK Penetration Testing services. We are one of only three NCSC Assured Consultancies to hold all five capabilities. With a Head Consultant for this service offering who is Chartered by the UK Cyber Security Council for Secure System Architecture & Design, we offer a wealth of knowledge and can ensure we deliver a consistently high standard of technical output. From the NCSC ACSC standard: Security Architecture is the practise of designing computer systems to achieve security goals. Security Architecture will offer and provide guidance on technical security controls available to prevent, detect and recover from security incidents and to mitigate risk.
A few words from Matthew, NCSC Head Consultant for this service offering: “Security Architecture, covering both systems design and security design assurance, is an essential component in the delivery and maintenance of secure systems. Although it focuses mainly on the earlier stages of system development and introduction into service, it will also improve the ease of maintaining security through the system lifecycle. Additionally, from a business perspective, it provides traceability between security component costs, for purchase and operations, and the justification from high level business or regulatory requirements. I am delighted that Arcanum has received this recognition from the NCSC for our capability in delivering a wide range of Security Architecture services to our customers, both public and private sector.”
