Dial A Geek, a Bristol-based Managed Service Provider (MSP), has been honored with the prestigious status of an Assured Service Provider by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). This recognition confirms Dial A Geek’s expertise and reliability in delivering high-quality cyber security services. The designation as an NCSC-recognised cyber advisor highlights their commitment to providing trusted and effective cyber security guidance, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The NCSC’s Cyber Advisor Scheme, in collaboration with IASME, aims to spread reliable cyber security advice and support. This scheme focuses on assisting businesses with cyber essentials certification, a UK Government-backed initiative. Such certification helps companies protect themselves against common cyber threats and is essential for securing government contracts and significant partnerships.
As an approved cyber advisor, Dial A Geek is well-positioned to offer critical services including cyber essentials gap analyses, detailed reporting on Cyber Essentials controls, and support in remediation planning and implementation. Their role also includes providing post-engagement reports with recommendations to address any remaining risks, ensuring comprehensive support for businesses in enhancing their cyber security posture.
Gildas Jones, the founder of Dial A Geek, expressed pride in achieving this status. He emphasized the importance of integrating cyber security into core business practices rather than treating it as an add-on. This new recognition, along with their role as a Cyber Essentials certification body, allows Dial A Geek to further its leadership in IT services focused on cyber security compliance and support for local businesses.
