Industry Overview

Cybersecurity for Government

Public sector teams face rising cyber threats, growing compliance demands and constant pressure to protect sensitive data. Cybersecurity for government must work across legacy systems, shared services and modern cloud environments without disrupting day-to-day operations. CloudGuard supports government organisations with fast, reliable protection that reduces effort, strengthens resilience and supports public service continuity.

Security outcomes with CloudGuard

Fragmented environments

Our Managed XDR  service brings security information into one place, giving teams a clear view of activity and potential issues across the estate.

Strict compliance expectations

We support CAF-aligned assurance by providing continuous monitoring, structured incident records and clear reporting that can be used for internal reviews, audit activity and external assurance discussions.

Legacy systems and embedded technology

Automation and continuous monitoring identify risks early, helping teams protect older systems while planning long-term improvements.

Limited specialist resources and budget constraints

CloudGuard provides round-the-clock monitoring through a combination of automation and a UK-based security operations team. This allows organisations to achieve continuous coverage at a predictable cost, without the need to recruit additional specialist roles or place extra pressure on existing staff.

Expert advice

CAF alignment

Our service is aligned with NCSC guidance and supports organisations using the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) to manage cyber risk. By providing continuous monitoring, clear incident records and structured response, we help teams demonstrate that risks are understood, monitored and addressed as part of wider CAF self-assessment and assurance activity.

Security Posture Assessment

Government environments face constant scrutiny, making it vital to understand where vulnerabilities exist and how they are being managed. Our approach to cybersecurity for government includes a Security Posture Assessment that identifies weaknesses, reviews configurations and maps actions to recognised government and industry frameworks. This gives teams a defensible view of risk and a clear basis for prioritising improvements.
