22 January 2026 - NCC Group, a people-powered, tech-enabled global cyber resilience business, has partnered with Delinea, a pioneering provider of solutions for securing human and machine identities through centralised authorisation, to deliver its leading cloud-native identity security solutions. The partnership leverages Delinea’s privileged access management (PAM) capabilities to help organisations defend their critical systems against cyber-attacks and insider threats.
As organisations continue to adopt AI and evolve PAM services to satisfy compliance requirements, strong and robust identity security controls are essential to protect critical accounts and mitigate risks from credential theft, privilege escalation, covering both insider and external threats. The Delinea Platform enables organisations to discover all identities, assign appropriate access levels, and respond to threats in real-time, forming a key pillar of Zero Trust Architecture.
NCC Group’s partnership with Delinea delivers a high quality PAM service, forming a critical component of NCC Group’s Unified Digital Identity Framework:
- Leading capabilities: A comprehensive PAM platform designed for modern hybrid environments, featuring secure credential vaulting, privileged session management, and just-in-time access controls aimed at minimising risk and enforcing Zero Standing Privilege.
- Rapid, scalable deployment: cloud-native architecture and intuitive interface, enabling fast implementation and seamless integration, and reducing the time before value for NCC Group clients.
- Optimised Total Cost of Ownership: automation and flexible licensing models can help to lower operational overheads whilst maintaining enterprise-grade security.
- Accessible for all: enterprise-class PAM delivered as a cost-effective entry point, making advanced identity security attainable for organisations of every size.
PAM enforces guardrails by managing credentials centrally, controlling access and governing privileged interactions, and helping organisations to defend against one of the most common attack vectors - credential theft followed by privilege escalation to critical systems.
NCC Group operates on the frontline of cyber defence, providing customers with deep insight into attack paths and adversary tactics. PAM is a foundational pillar of NCC Group’s Unified Digital Identity Framework and should form part of any robust identity and access management strategy.
By combining Delinea’s advanced PAM technology with NCC Group’s people powered expertise, we deliver a high quality managed service for securing critical systems. NCC Group’s unified framework enables organisations to run PAM effectively, mitigating risks, supporting compliance, and enhancing user experience, all while supporting Zero Trust Architecture design principles and operational resilience.

“Securing identity doesn’t stop at the point of entry. With Delinea’s software and NCC Group’s expertise, we’re delivering real-time PAM services, empowering our clients to implement Zero Trust and secure AI usage.”
Chris Kelly, President at Delinea, added: “As AI-driven identity-based threats and attacks continue to evolve, businesses are seeking partners that can help them stay ahead, protect their critical assets, and realise the value of their cybersecurity investments more efficiently.
