The NCSC: UK's Cyber Security Authority

The National Cyber Security Centre is part of GCHQ. They're the UK government's cyber security authority, providing free guidance for businesses. When we say 'NCSC recommended', the people defending the country think you should do it.

What is it?

The NCSC provides free security guidance, oversees Cyber Essentials, tracks UK threats, and offers incident support. Their guidance informs our recommendations - admin rights removal, patching, and security best practices all follow NCSC standards.
