Logiq has been appointed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) as one of the first assured service providers for its pioneering Cyber Resilience Audit (CRA) scheme.
This new programme is designed to bolster consumer confidence in cyber resilience by ensuring companies meet the NCSC’s standards for conducting independent cyber audits and to support Operators of Essentials Services (OES) meet the requirements of their respective Cyber Oversight Bodies.
The Cyber Resilience Audit Scheme enables approved providers, such as Logiq, to perform independent cyber audits on behalf of buyers under the guidance of Cyber Oversight Bodies. Initially, these audits will adhere to the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), although the scheme’s flexibility allows it to adapt to other recognised cyber security standards in the future.
Commenting, Matthew Mackay, Logiq Security Practice Lead said: “Being among the first providers assured for the NCSC’s Cyber Resilience Audit Scheme is a testament to our alignment with the highest standards in cyber security. This scheme underscores our commitment to delivering robust, trusted cyber audit services, helping our clients to better understand and enhance their security posture. Our long-standing relationship with the NCSC means we are ideally placed to support our clients in meeting and exceeding the standards needed to stay resilient in today’s threat landscape.”
This assurance comes as a further recognition of Logiq’s expertise, which includes existing NCSC assurance for risk management, security architecture, and audit and review services.
About the NCSC Cyber Resilience Audit Scheme
The Cyber Resilience Audit (CRA) scheme, developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), offers independent cybersecurity assessments to help organisations strengthen their cyber defences and meet recognised standards like the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). These audits, conducted by NCSC-assured service providers, are designed to identify vulnerabilities, improve risk management, and enhance overall cyber resilience. The flexible framework supports organisations across various sectors, ensuring tailored evaluations that address unique cybersecurity needs and regulatory requirements.
By participating in the Cyber Resilience Audit scheme, organisations can proactively reduce cyber threats, ensure compliance with industry standards, and build confidence with stakeholders. Demonstrating a commitment to robust security practices enhances operational resilience and positions organisations as trusted, secure partners in today’s digital-first environment. The CRA scheme helps protect critical assets while supporting a stronger, safer cybersecurity landscape for the UK.
