OVERVIEW
Nearly 40 years of community support - and the need to protect it
The Greggs Foundation is the independent charity associated with Greggs – a leading UK food-on-the-go retailer. They have been supporting communities for nearly 40 years through a series of impactful grant-giving programmes which in 2025, totalled over £5.4m. With a small team delivering large-scale impact, technology plays a vital role in helping the team to operate efficiently and securely.
THE CHALLENGE
Cyber security without the expertise or resource to manage it
Like many charities, cyber security wasn’t something they had the expertise or resource to manage effectively. The team rely heavily on Microsoft 365 and digital systems to deliver their work, manage grant applications, and support their programmes, but they didn’t have a dedicated cyber team or the skills or resource to monitor threats to their network.
Greggs Foundation is increasingly aware that cyber risks are on the rise but also that the impact of those attacks can be severe and have long-term consequences to how they deliver their work. They knew they needed to do more to protect their systems to ensure a continuity of service and minimise risks.
THE SOLUTION
A fully managed cyber security monitoring service built around their needs
Quorum Cyber provided Greggs Foundation with Clarity, a fully managed cyber security monitoring service. From the outset, this approach was easy to follow and very much based around their needs. Rather than overwhelming them with technical detail, Quorum Cyber worked alongside them to put the right foundations in place.
The service brought together Microsoft Security Technology and Quorum Cyber’s own threat intelligence and expertise to ensure they have a dedicated team monitoring their systems on their behalf.
This meant that they had a level of protection that would have been impossible for them to resource internally.
A SMOOTH, SUPPORTED ONBOARDING
Guided through each step - without needing to become experts overnight
The onboarding process was straightforward and collaborative. Quorum Cyber guided Greggs Foundation through each step to configure the environment and ensure everything was set up correctly, giving them a quick transition to service delivery.
As a small team, this was invaluable – it meant they didn’t need to become experts overnight, but were able to build processes to support how they manage risks going forward.
