ECSC: Inside the UK cyber security company set for a £15 million stock float

With the UK set to go it alone as a trading nation after the EU Referendum, the country will need companies that are capable of growing and thriving. The Government is recognising the importance of technology companies in powering the UK economy. The Autumn Statement from Philip Hammond pledged new funding for innovation as part of a ‘Productivity Fund’. But much of the power will have to come from the companies themselves. With an initial public offering scheduled for December, Bradford-based cyber security company ECSC is hoping to become one of these companies. The company was founded in 2000 and provides managed services, incident response, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 consultancy. It claims to be the UK’s longest running full service information and cyber security service provider.
