AI-native SOC Platform managed 24/7 by SC and NPPV3-cleared analysts for UK government and public sector bodies. 100% UK data sovereignty guaranteed.
UK government and public sector organisations sit at the top of the target list for nation-state threat actors. Central departments, local authorities, and arm’s-length bodies manage sensitive citizen data, critical services, and public infrastructure that adversaries actively seek to disrupt, exfiltrate, or hold to ransom.
The NCSC’s updated Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF v4) now explicitly accounts for nation-state detection and response, a recognition that government bodies face a qualitatively different level of risk than most private sector organisations.
The specific challenges government security teams deal with include complex, often siloed IT estates with legacy infrastructure and strict data handling obligations that rule out many commercial providers. Additionally, the need for SC and NPPV3-cleared personnel to handle sensitive material; and the pressure to demonstrate CAF compliance and audit readiness at any point.
Government and public sector organisations managing essential functions are assessed against the NCSC’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), now at version 4.0. The CAF is outcome-focused across four objectives: managing security risk, protecting against cyber attacks, detecting cyber security events, and minimising the impact of incidents. When you appoint a managed SOC provider, they become part of your response to all four.
The CAF requires organisations to understand and manage the security risks introduced by their supply chain. A managed SOC provider sits at the heart of your security supply chain. e2e-assure is UK-owned and operated, with all personnel holding SC or NPPV3 clearance. All data is processed and stored in the UK. There is no offshore or nearshore staffing at any service tier.
CAF B3 requires that data is protected from unauthorised access, modification, or loss. Handling sensitive government data through a provider without UK sovereignty guarantees introduces material risk against this principle. e2e-assure’s UK-only data processing, combined with no third-party data sharing outside NCSC-aligned partners, directly supports your ability to demonstrate B3 compliance.
CAF C1 requires continuous security monitoring of networks, systems, and services. CAF C2 requires active threat hunting to identify threats that evade standard detection. e2e-assure’s 24x7x365 UK-based SOC, supported by Cumulo’s AI Analyst Engine and 40+ automated threat hunt rules running continuously, directly addresses both principles. Detection is not passive monitoring — Cumulo actively hunts for threats across your environment and queries new indicators against historical log data in real time.
CAF D1 requires that you have the plans, processes, and capability to respond to and recover from incidents. e2e-assure provides incident response planning, attack disruption capability, and SC-cleared analysts who can work directly with your internal team during an active incident. Cumulo’s live compliance dashboards give your governance team continuous visibility of your security posture, so your response evidence is ready at any point — not assembled after the fact.
Every e2e-assure customer is onboarded onto Cumulo, our AI-native SOC platform. Cumulo connects IT and OT environments, and integrates with 50+ security tools allowing you to use your existing tools. Giving your security team and leadership continuous visibility across your entire estate.

Our services are designed around the operational and compliance requirements of UK public sector bodies. We do not offer a one-size-fits-all service. The scope and configuration of your SOC coverage is built around your environment, your estate, and your risk profile.
Core capabilities for government clients include:
Continuous compliance dashboards give your security and governance teams real-time visibility against CAF and NIS2, without the sprint effort of a point-in-time audit.
Centralised detection across complex, siloed government estates — including legacy infrastructure and OT environments where they exist.
AI-led triage eliminates alert fatigue. Threats are detected and escalated to analysts faster, with context-rich verdicts rather than raw alert data.
Predictable, transparent pricing with no lock-in to specific toolsets. Cumulo integrates with your existing investments rather than replacing them.
Our SOC is built for the scale and complexity of government environments. All analysts are SC or NPPV3 cleared. All data stays in the UK. Cumulo integrates with existing tooling — including Microsoft Sentinel — without requiring estate-wide change. Detection engineering is built around the specific threat scenarios and frameworks relevant to government, including the NCSC’s CAF.
We have been doing this for over a decade. NPS 88+ and 96% customer retention reflects that.
It is a managed, UK-sovereign cyber defence service providing 24x7x365 threat monitoring, detection, and response. e2e-assure’s service is designed specifically for public sector requirements, including SC clearance, UK data sovereignty, and alignment with NCSC and CAF guidance.
Yes. All e2e-assure personnel hold SC or NPPV3 clearance. There are no uncleared staff involved in the handling or analysis of government data at any tier of service.
