NCC Group

NCC Group is a global cyber and software resilience business founded in 1999. The firm employs more than 2,000 colleagues across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific, and acts as a trusted adviser to leading companies and governments, working on managing risk, strengthening resilience and building lasting trust across multiple sectors.

Among its divisions is Escode, a market-leading software escrow and verification business. Software escrow and verification is a contractual and risk-management discipline, providing assurance around the safeguarding and release of software assets; it is one of the strands of NCC Group's offering that intersects directly with commercial and legal practice.

The company's Cyber Security Practice is described as people-powered and tech-enabled, delivering full-spectrum cyber resilience services: incident response, threat intelligence, penetration testing and managed security solutions. Its heritage rests on research and threat intelligence work, which uncovers thousands of risks annually and provides insight into vulnerabilities and adversary behaviours. The technical domains in which it operates include cyber security, threat intelligence, research, penetration testing, incident response, managed security solutions, software escrow and verification, risk management and resilience.
