Cybersecurity for Newcastle businesses —
NHS, tech, research-grade.
Servnet designs, deploys and runs cybersecurity for Newcastle firms with regulators paying attention — NHS NENC ICB-affiliated trusts (the UK's largest ICB by population), Sage Group + Cobalt-class enterprise software, Helix innovation district tech, Newcastle + Northumbria universities, plus NCC + NECA + 7 NE authorities. Cyber Essentials Plus through to NHS DSPT and SOC 2-grade controls.
Why Newcastle cyber programmes have their own profile
Newcastle concentrates the regulated estates of the UK's largest ICB (NENC), one of the UK's most established enterprise software companies (Sage), the Helix innovation district, and 8 NE authorities. Each has distinct regulatory load.
NHS NENC ICB + DSP Toolkit + 11 trusts
For the 11 trusts within NHS NENC ICB (Newcastle Hospitals, Northumbria Healthcare, South Tyneside & Sunderland, plus 8 others), cyber work lands against DSP Toolkit, HSCN-aligned segmentation, NIS Regulations 2018.
SOC 2 + ISO 27001 for Sage-class enterprise software
For Sage Group and Helix-class enterprise software customers serving regulated US / EU customers, cyber programmes land against SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and customer-specific regulatory regimes.
Research-data classification for Newcastle + Northumbria
For Newcastle University, Northumbria University, Durham University, cyber programmes address research-data classification, funded-project IP protection, JANET edge security.
NCSC + Cabinet Office for NCC + NECA + 7 authorities
For NCC, NECA, Gateshead, Sunderland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, County Durham, Northumberland we configure to NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, Cabinet Office MCSS.
