Manchester, UK July 2026 - NCC Group, a people-powered global cyber security and resilience business, today announced it has been positioned in the Leaders Category in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Service for Midmarket 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc# US52992326, July 2026).
The IDC MarketScape states:
“NCC Group's combination of an active offensive security practice, a mature DFIR capability with contractual mobilization SLAs, and an intelligence-led MDR service within a single organization creates a structural feedback loop where red team findings and incident investigations directly inform detection content and hunting hypotheses. This integration reflects a service design that is unusual in its depth of cross-disciplinary intelligence operationalization.”
We believe this recognition reflects NCC Group’s continued investment in detection engineering, threat intelligence, incident response and customer-focused managed detection and response (MDR) services and builds on its position as a "Major Player" in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Incident Response Services (Doc #US52036825, August 2025)
Damien Childs, Chief Delivery Officer at NCC Group commented: “The cyber threat landscape continues to evolve at pace, placing increasing pressure on organisations to detect, investigate and respond to threats quickly and effectively.
"We believe being recognised as a “Leader” in this IDC MarketScape vendor assessment reflects the strength of our people, our threat intelligence and incident response expertise and our ongoing commitment to helping organisations build cyber resilience through effective, customer-focused managed detection and response services.
"As organisations face increasingly sophisticated threats, they need partners that can combine world-class threat intelligence, detection engineering and incident response into a unified security outcome. We remain committed to investing in these capabilities so that our customers can confidently detect, respond to and recover from cyber threats."
