Assured Service Provider in association with National Cyber Security Centre — Cyber Incident Response: Standard Level

NCSC Assured Cyber Incident Response

Aruga is an NCSC Assured Service Provider for Cyber Incident Response at Standard Level, giving organisations confidence that our incident response service meets the NCSC's recognised standards for quality and capability.

The problem

Most businesses have no plan for when it happens.

  • Most businesses do not have a trusted number to call when an attack hits. In the moment, that absence becomes a crisis in itself.
  • Speed is everything. Every minute without expert guidance is a minute the attacker uses. Panic makes that worse.
  • Your IT team knows your systems. That is not the same as knowing how to contain an active attack under pressure.
  • Financial and reputational damage grows with every hour of delay. The right help on the line from the start changes the outcome.

How it works

Simple. Clear. Exactly what you need at the worst possible moment.

You should never have to wonder what to do when a cyber attack hits. Click each stage to see exactly what happens.

The incident happens, any time, any day.

A cyber incident occurs. It could be a compromised credential, ransomware locking your systems, or a suspicious login at 2am on a bank holiday. It does not matter when it happens or what form it takes. What matters is that you do not need to diagnose it, find a provider, or wonder what to do. You have one number on the wall and a plan already in place.

Simple, transparent pricing

Know the cost before you ever need us.

Incident Response Assurance is designed for organisations with up to 150 employees. For larger organisations (or businesses operating internationally, in regulated sectors or critical infrastructure) we recommend Incident Response Retainer.
