Historic England

Securing England’s history with 24/7 threat detection and response

Historic England is the public body that helps people care for, enjoy and celebrate England’s spectacular historic environment. Managing its digital estate – and providing shared IT services to other government bodies – requires robust security round the clock.

Partnering with Socura for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) has helped reduce Historic England’s cyber risk by decreasing the time taken to identify and respond to threats and enhancing the protection of specialist systems, data and users.

Highlights
  • Strengthening the protection of specialist systems and data, incl. other bodies it provides services to
  • Achieving round-the-clock monitoring without overburdening its internal team
  • Minimising the risk of phishing attacks against a fluctuating workforce of over 4,000 users
  • Protecting its reputation and relationships with other public bodies and partner networks
  • Ensuring compliance with the latest government security standards

Moving to a 24/7 MDR service has been like 'turning the lights on' across our environments.
