- NCC Group plc (NCC.L) is a global cyber security and software resilience company that provides assurance services, software escrow and verification solutions, and related cyber security offerings to enterprises, governments, and critical infrastructure providers worldwide. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Manchester, United Kingdom, the company operates through two primary divisions: Assurance, which delivers cyber security consulting, managed services including vulnerability management, bug bounty programs, external attack surface management, and incident response; and Escode, a market-leading software escrow business that safeguards business-critical applications, source code, and digital assets for continuity and protection against disruptions. Its services encompass technical assurance, risk management, penetration testing, identity access management, operational technology security, research-driven vulnerability advisories, and a unified cyber platform enhanced by AI; the company maintains a global footprint with offices in the UK, North America, Europe (including Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands), Asia-Pacific (Australia, Singapore, Philippines), and serves over 15,000 clients across technology, manufacturing, finance, retail, and public sectors. In recent developments, NCC Group completed the sale of its non-core Fox Crypto business in March 2025 for £65.6m, enabling it to become debt-free, secure a new £120m borrowing facility, and pursue value-enhancing acquisitions in cyber security; the company also launched global practices in Identity Access Management and Operational Technology, announced partnerships with Horizon3.ai and CrowdStrike to bolster technical assurance, managed services, and incident response, and evolved its cyber security operations into four consistent service lines while exploring options for its Escode division including potential divestiture. For the half-year ended March 31, 2025, the group reported profit before tax doubling to £16.6m amid strategic transformation, with Escode achieving 10 consecutive quarters of revenue growth and cyber security focusing on recurring revenue through multidisciplinary capabilities and expanded global delivery including in the Philippines.
