“The report provides a clear summary of a very comprehensive review of complex end-to-end operations, systems and cyber governance.
All the analysis was clear and concise and the recommendations were very well evidenced and accepted by the team. Much of this is due to your team’s care and professionalism in working with the organisation and securing buy-in from their senior team.”
Broadcast networks form part of the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure—an attractive target for adversaries wanting to cause disruption or damage national reputation. With the Eurovision Song Contest and the Coronation of King Charles III on the horizon, DCMS commissioned 2T Security to assess how well key broadcasters could detect, resist and recover from cyber threats.
Working closely with technical leads, we ran in-depth workshops to map end-to-end architectures, operating processes and security controls. Using the National Cyber Security Centre’s CAF, we held frank, constructive discussions that surfaced strengths, gaps and planned investments across each organisation.
Our analysts distilled findings into concise reports that scored CAF objectives, explained residual risks and set out improvement actions ranked by priority and effort. We then briefed each senior leadership team, ensuring every recommendation was understood and agreed—laying the foundation for rapid remediation before the live events began.
