A Malvern-based cyber security company announced a partnership with an esteemed services provider.

Assure Technical has revealed a strategic deal with EBC Group, a leading services provider based in the Midlands.

The collaboration highlights the company's pledge to deliver top-tier cyber security solutions, strengthened by proficient industry knowledge and innovation.

Combining Assure's cyber security services with EBC Group's technology-driven solutions, this strategic partnership aims to offer extensive services aimed at mitigating possible cyber risks.

Pete Rucinski, managing director of Assure Technical said: "We are excited about this strategic partnership with EBC Group.

"Together, we will provide pain-free cyber security services, including Cyber Essentials certification and CREST-approved penetration testing.

"This will help ensure our clients have top-tier cybersecurity measures in place to protect their valuable assets."

Cyber Essentials is a UK government endorsed scheme developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) based in Cheltenham.

This scheme, which is a requirement for Government contacts, puts forth an affordable compliance framework which sets the standard for cyber security measures and provides protection from most cyber attacks.

CREST-approved penetration testing allows businesses to actively pinpoint and address cyber security weaknesses by having qualified and experienced professionals impersonate a hacker attempting to gain access to the company's IT systems.

Mike Cook, chief operations director of EBC Group, said: "We are delighted to collaborate with Assure Technical to bolster our cybersecurity portfolio.

"This will ensure our clients receive top-tier cyber security solutions that meet their evolving needs.

"In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity isn't just an IT concern—it's a business imperative.

"Every day, new threats emerge, and no organisation is immune.

"The ‘it won’t happen to me’ mindset is a risk we can't afford.

"Cybersecurity is a crucial step towards safeguarding your business's future."
