Given their national importance, our client was looking for a compliment their IT team to detect and respond to alerts which may compromise their information security, in addition to a trusted partner who they could turn to in the case of an incident. They also require support to meet complex and strict information security certifications and standards.

Services used

  • NAZAR X Plus (Commuincate’s SIEM)
  • Incident Response Retainer
  • Cyber Essentials
  • PCI (Payment Card Industry) Consultancy
  • Stolen Credential Monitoring
  • Penetration Testing

Outcome

Communicate’s SOC have helped National Portrait Gallery reduce their MTTD (Mean Time To Detect) and MTTR (Mean Time To Respond), meaning they can now respond to cyber security threats within seconds. Communicate provide guidance on improving the galleries entire security posture, and National Portrait Gallery have received the right expertise to achieve PCI compliance and Cyber Essentials status.
