ECSC wins 'Managed Security' award

ECSC Group plc (AIM: ECSC), the provider of cyber security services, is pleased to announce that it has received the 'Managed Security' award at this year's Computing Security Excellence Awards, held in London on Wednesday, 1 December 2021.

The Security Excellence Awards recognise the very best organisations, individuals and solutions in the industry - the ones that are protecting and enabling every other part of IT.

Outsourcing IT is common for firms that want to focus on their core business, without worrying about security.  The judges were looking for a firm that could handle all aspects of security for their clients, from spam prevention to staff training and, crucially, that could show evidence of fostering close relationships.

This award follows on from Chief Executive Officer Ian Mann's recent accolade as the 'Most Innovative Cyber Security CEO' at the 2021 Global CEO Excellence Awards and 'Outsourcing Company of the Year' award at the National Technology Awards in September 2021.

Ian Mann, Chief Executive Officer of ECSC, commented: "We are delighted to have received the 'Managed Security' award at the Computing Security Excellence Awards this year. The award recognises our ability to help clients craft a bespoke cyber security solution to help them stand out in a crowded marketplace.

"I would like to congratulate the whole team and their hard work, which enables this service excellence within ECSC that the award celebrates."
