Managed Services Major Contract Wins

ECSC (AIM: ECSC), the provider of cyber security services, is pleased to announce two major managed service contract wins, for a national charity and high street retailer, with a combined revenue value in excess of £590,000.  These represent more than 20% of the current managed services order book.  This revenue will be recognised throughout the duration of the contracts, each of which are for three years.

Both contracts are to provide 24/7/365 cyber security monitoring and breach detection, utilising ECSC's proprietary Kepler Artificial Intelligence, managed from the Group Security Operations Centres in the UK and Australia.

Ian Mann, Chief Executive Officer of ECSC, commented:

"We are delighted to announce two further major contract wins across two diverse sectors.  The charity win is the first major managed service win to originate from the new ECSC partner programme, highlighting the positive progress in this area.

Following the introduction of the 2019 GDPR fines, a wide range of clients are increasingly recognising the need for cyber security managed services.  Our strategy of winning consultancy clients, and clients from within the partner programme, then developing them into long-term recurring managed service clients continues to be effective."
