We’re proud to announce that LeftBrain has been officially recognised by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) as an Assured Cyber Security Consultancy.

This achievement places LeftBrain among a select group of trusted providers offering independent cyber security consultancy to organisations with complex or high-risk security requirements, including those in government, the wider public sector, and critical national infrastructure.

What the assurance means

The NCSC’s Assured Cyber Security Consultancy Scheme sets the national benchmark for quality and trust in cyber consultancy. To achieve assurance, organisations must meet rigorous technical, governance, and service standards, proving that their consultancy delivers consistent, high-quality advice aligned with national expectations.

Charlie Naughton-Rumbo, CEO of LeftBrain, said: “We’re really excited to announce that LeftBrain has achieved National Cyber Security Centre Assured Cyber Security Consultancy status. It’s a big milestone that we’ve had in our sights for quite a while now. Essentially, it means our services are delivered with a government-assured stamp.”

A trusted partner for growing organisations

Earning this assurance demonstrates LeftBrain’s continued commitment to supporting growing organisations in building secure, scalable operations.

“A really important part of what we do is come alongside growing organisations that trust us to help build a secure backbone for their business, one that helps them scale confidently,” Charlie explained. “We’re consulting on governance, risk, and compliance that underpins their technical security, and now we get to do that with a government-assured stamp on it.”

Accountability and excellence

With this recognition, LeftBrain joins a small, select group of consultancies across the UK. At the time of writing, only 29 companies held the NCSC assurance.

“Not only are we delivering services with a government-assured stamp, it also means we’re accountable to a national body,” said Charlie. “We’re committed to maintaining the highest quality of service in line with the standards set out by the National Cyber Security Centre.”

Securing innovation

This milestone reinforces LeftBrain’s mission to make technology a strategic advantage for every organisation it works with. By combining technical expertise with trusted governance, LeftBrain enables its clients to innovate and grow with confidence.

“We’ve been building towards this moment for a long time,” Charlie said. “We’ve put a huge amount of work into designing our services to hit the absolute top quality of cyber security consultancy, and this recognition shows that we’re doing just that.”
