At CoreStream GRC, maintaining a strong and proactive cybersecurity posture is a top priority. As part of this commitment, we’re pleased to share that we’ve joined the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) early warning scheme, an initiative designed to provide advanced warnings about cyber threats to UK-registered companies.
Through this scheme, we’ve registered all of our domains and public IP addresses to receive real-time alerts related to malware, vulnerabilities, and potential network abuse. The program operates in partnership with both public and closed cyber intelligence sources, offering organizations like ours a valuable layer of defense at no cost.
As CoreStream GRC provides SaaS solutions to civil service, local authority, health and emergency services we are also uniquely eligible to utilise the web check scheme regular website configuration and vulnerability scanning services through the NCSC.
“We’re proud to be part of the NCSC’s national effort to stay ahead of cyber threats,” said Steve Biggs, Head of Infrastructure and Security at CoreStream GRC. “It’s a great example of collaboration across the public and private sectors and reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting our platform, data and clients.”
While certifications such as Cyber Essentials, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 remain core to our cybersecurity framework, this additional threat intelligence source enhances our readiness and strengthens our overall capability.
For our current and prospective UK clients, this partnership also reflects our alignment with the country’s broader strategic cyber defense efforts, delivering added value and peace of mind in an increasingly complex digital environment.
