Cybersecurity outfit ECSC has indicated that its focus on managed services is delivering as it saw significant growth.

ECSC  CEO of Ian Mann said that there was a drop off in its consulting business by 23 per cent to £1.19 million, which offset the 63 percent climb in managed services, producing flat year on year revenues of £2.63 million in the firm’s interim first-half numbers. The firm trimmed its losses to £0.19 million, down from £0.49 million at the same point last year, and indicated that the consulting business was better in the second half. The firm enjoyed a record July, with revenues up by 42 million to £0.62 million on last year.

“We are pleased that from the start of H2 the previously reported reduced level of consulting services demand has now been reversed, with consulting growth recovering strongly to match the continued growth in managed services recurring revenue and cyber incident response service”, Mann said.
