The National Cyber Awards recognise individuals, teams and organisations making a meaningful contribution to cybersecurity across the UK, with finalists selected for their innovation, leadership and real-world impact. Winners will be announced at the Royal Lancaster London on 28 September 2026.

For Castlepoint, the recognition reflects its continued investment in technology that helps organisations understand, manage and protect the vast volumes of information they hold.

Castlepoint’s Explainable AI platform automatically discovers, classifies and manages information across an organisation’s systems, giving teams greater visibility of what they hold, where it sits, who has access to it and where risk exists. This enables organisations to identify and remediate sensitive, high-risk or vulnerable information at scale, while maintaining the transparency and accountability needed in highly regulated environments.

Rachael Greaves, CEO and Co-Founder of Castlepoint Systems, said being named a finalist was an important recognition of the role information governance plays in building stronger cyber resilience.

“Cybersecurity isn’t only about stopping threats at the perimeter. Organisations also need to understand the information they already hold, where their risks are, and how they can act on them. You can’t reduce the likelihood of a breach to zero – you must also take concerted steps to reduce any impact.  

“We built Castlepoint to give organisations that visibility and control at scale, without asking teams to manually sift through millions of records. Being recognised for innovation at the National Cyber Awards is a great acknowledgement of what our team has built and, importantly, the impact it is having for organisations managing increasingly complex information and security environments.”

Professor Richard Benham, Founder of the National Cyber Awards and Chair of Future Tech Events, said:

“We are pleased to recognise Castlepoint Systems as a finalist in the National Cyber Awards 2026.

“The calibre of entries this year reflects the breadth and depth of work happening across the UK to keep individuals, organisations and critical systems secure. Cybersecurity depends on people and teams who often operate without recognition, these awards exist to change that. We look forward to celebrating Castlepoint Systems and all of this year's finalists.”

Founded in 2019, the National Cyber Awards recognise excellence across the cybersecurity sector, celebrating the achievements of individuals, organisations and educators working to protect and strengthen digital environments.

The awards are independently judged and free to enter, supporting broad participation from across the UK cybersecurity community.

Winners of the National Cyber Awards 2026 will be announced on 28 September 2026 at the Royal Lancaster London.
