It's a new CFO, not CEO. Apart from that, agreed.

[a2584728] 12/1/2017 11:59

Ah ok, I think if you look at the company, £30m+ profit in a growing market, rid of businesses that don't fit the model, new CEO with good plc experience and directors buying t all adds up to a good investment proposition, all of course IMHO. I do hold from 182p btw.

Some brokers / analysts advising sell when the price is low and buy when the price is high

[a2584728] 12/1/2017 09:40

Who are the experts?

[smokybenchod] 11/1/2017 23:30

Looking good GLA for next week, DYOR and don't listen to these 'experts'

[a2584728] 11/1/2017 17:09

Yes and I like a CFO that has a strong history with listed plcs. All set for a good run up. I am more looking for a positive future statement rather than a reversal on the numbers

[tsmith2] 11/1/2017 17:04

A week to results. Cyber security in focus. NCC well placed; think we'll see that in results..

[dannywillo90] 11/1/2017 08:39

what do we know it about this new CEO any opinions??

[markth] 11/1/2017 08:27

New beancounter appointed this morning.

[rivaldo] 10/1/2017 09:12

Great to see the push above 200p - chart-wise, is it fair to say that a rise above that early Dec'16 209p or so level would mean blue sky all the way back up again?

[a2584728] 09/1/2017 20:18

Take a look at Bilby chaps. Heading the same way I believe

[markth] 09/1/2017 19:09

No intention of selling yet despite sitting on a paper gain of 14%.

[a2584728] 09/1/2017 18:59

Yes should fill the gap from here.

[tsmith2] 09/1/2017 16:34

Graph starting to look v v promising

[boadicea] 09/1/2017 16:10

Is this on the ceiling for the moment?
It's approaching it rather fast this afternoon, so will it break through or just get a bump on the head?

[a2584728] 06/1/2017 09:59

Nice breather before the next leg up.

[a2584728] 05/1/2017 17:54

Thanks for that, helps with the investment case

Great news! A big development in the cyber security industry


UK government proposes financial sanctions for cyber security breaches.

The UK government has released a comprehensive review of the country’s cyber security including existing and proposed regulations and incentives. Among other conclusions, the report advocates the implementation of a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) no later than 2018, which will include the use of financial sanctions to drive better cyber security behaviours in UK businesses.

Instituting a new set of regulations regarding cyber security in organizations is intended to provide a legislative basis to ensure businesses comply with data protection best practices.
The GDPR will require companies to officially report all cyber security breaches to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and to customers. Additionally, organizations will be required to conduct official data protection impact assessments, and data officers will be required at certain organizations.
Under the GDPR, stringent financial sanctions may be imposed on organizations for non-compliance with data security best practices. Companies may also be liable to customers through class action lawsuits, imposing further penalties on companies for breaches.
The rationale for government intervention in regulating compliance for cyber security comes from the elevated risk to businesses and their customers posed by cyber breaches, as well as the evidence in the report which suggests that companies are not doing enough currently to protect themselves and their clients in terms of technical controls, risk management, and incident response.
“Whilst 69 percent of businesses say their senior management consider cyber security is of a very or fairly high priority for their organization just over half (51%) of all businesses have actually taken recommended actions to identify cyber risks, and only 10% have a formal incident management plan.” Additionally, only 17%  of businesses surveyed had staff that attended training for cyber incidents in the past year.
The government study also found that many companies did not fully understand the risk of cyber attack to their organization, and were unclear about who was actually responsible for their cyber strategy and implementation. Some thought that the responsibility was passed forward to their banks, or to outsourced providers rather than recognizing that the organization itself was ultimately responsible for data protection practices.
The study concluded that financial sanctions imposed on organizations suffering cyber breaches will incentivize organizations to adopt good cyber practices. Under the new GDPR, the government is also considering extending the audit power of the Information Commissioner’s Office to all organizations processing personal data. Should a change to the audit powers be warranted, it will be introduced to the General Data Protection Regulations prior to implementation, scheduled for May 2018.

NCC Group PLC’s (NCC) “Buy” Rating Reaffirmed at Shore Capital

Four research analysts have rated the stock with a hold rating and four have assigned a buy rating to the stock. The company presently has a consensus rating of Buy and an average target price of 286p.

[a2584728] 05/1/2017 13:24

I think 240p is next resistance level? Any Chartists confirm please?

[a2584728] 05/1/2017 12:43

I think we will see it very much higher once through 200p

[rivaldo] 05/1/2017 12:38

Cheers Mas, good to see. Looks like a bounce is really taking shape now.

[masurenguy] 05/1/2017 01:51

Tempus says NCC is a Buy at the current price !

NCC has finally bowed to the inevitable and accepted that it is not going to make a go of its domain services business, which was to have provided a third leg to the cybersecurity provider................This should be a positive for NCC, which provides security services and has a highly cash-generative escrow business..........they sell on 19 times’ earnings for the year to the end of May, a trough one for profits. Its core market of cybersecurity can only continue to grow. It’s one for the long term, if you are prepared to assume that there are no further disasters ahead.
My advice: Buy.
Why: Share price fall looks overdone, given prospects

Looks like there are a couple of gaps to fill on the way back?
