Barrett Steel Case Study
Barrett Steel Limited is an established Steel stockholder and supplier that consists of 44 companies operating from 30 sites nationwide.
Founded in 1866, Barrett Steel has grown both organically and by acquisition from a one-man company to the largest independent steel stockholder in the UK. Barrett Steel is on a trajectory towards digitising its workforce, and within the next 12 months, all 1500 employees will be actively utilising technology. This digital transformation brings with it increased risk to the business.
Despite substantial investments in modern cyber security tools, Barrett Steel has recognised the need for specialist outsourced Security Operations support to defend their environment against modern threats that may bypass preventive controls and is actively pursuing the outsourcing of their Security Operations function to a partner who will seamlessly collaborate with their in-house team and offer support throughout this transformative journey.
“Excellent customer service, combined with an effective XDR and XSOAR technology platform, have delivered us a great MDR solution that fits our business well. The onboarding service was an excellent process and a great introduction to the team and service.
We get regular reporting from Socura, which is really useful and detailed. The monthly service reviews also allow us to raise anything else we’d like to see if we want a follow-up on specific incidents and are really useful.”
Michael Ratcliffe, IT Security Manager at Barrett Steel Limited
