Axiom organisation, Pentest People, wins Best Incident Response Solution at SC Awards Europe 2025.

The landscape of cyber risk is shifting faster than ever and staying ahead means more than just reacting. It requires preparation, agility, and trusted partners who can act decisively under pressure.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Pentest People, part of the Axiom GRC group, has been recognised as delivering the Best Incident Response Solution at the SC Awards Europe 2025.

This award marks a major milestone for Pentest People, a testament to their relentless focus on delivering bespoke, best-in-class cyber protection. The SC Awards, run by SC Media, are among the most prestigious accolades in cybersecurity, spotlighting innovation, impact, and true industry leadership.

A new standard in incident response

Pentest People’s win reflects more than technical excellence, it showcases a mindset shift. Their Incident Response service isn’t simply about managing breaches; it’s about building cyber resilience before, during, and after a crisis.

Their award-winning approach includes:

  • 24-hour access to expert responders from the first sign of breach
  • Bespoke playbooks aligned with each client’s industry, environment and risk profile
  • The use of SecureGateway, enabling immediate remote access and forensic analysis without delay
  • Full integration with the SecurePortal, providing clients with:
    • Weekly vulnerability scans
    • Monthly web application assessments
    • Daily dark web monitoring
    • Real-time threat intelligence and custom security scripts

This combination gives clients real-time visibility into their risk posture and a direct path to mitigation, turning reactive response into proactive control.

Flexibility, speed and precision

Built for today’s complex threat landscape, Pentest People’s Incident Response packages are highly flexible. Whether supporting a scaling SME or an enterprise organisation, the service adapts to individual needs and budget parameters.

Services include:

  • Ransomware readiness assessments
  • Maturity evaluations
  • Custom tabletop exercises
  • Advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) integration

With EDR, Pentest People delivers containment and remediation within 120 minutes of identifying a breach. And after every incident, their forensic deep-dives help clients not just recover, but learn, which strengthens future protection.

Trusted by clients, endorsed by experts

This year’s SC Awards judges praised the service for its tailored and reliable model, noting:

A very well reputed company here with a good and reliable IR service. Their custom playbooks allow the tailored and individual response to play perfectly into the defender and investigators’ business needs.

Such validation reinforces what Axiom GRC champions across our group: that client-centric innovation is what truly defines effective risk and compliance services.
