CyberSalesforce joins the North West Cyber Resilience Centre as Founding Partner

Salesforce joins the North West Cyber Resilience Centre as Founding Partner

As a Founding Partner, Salesforce is bringing its customer relationship management solutions to the North West Cyber Resilience Centre (NWCRC). Working with the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (NWROCU), the NWCRC is part of a nationwide network of 9 regional centres. The NWCRC’s role is to support small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) and third-sector organisations to reduce their vulnerability to cybercrime. 

As a Founding Partner of the NWCRC, Salesforce joins a team of experts dedicated to helping businesses across the North West ensure businesses in the region are aware of the growing threat of cybercrime and cyber fraud. Salesforce is joining existing Founding Partners; Irwin Mitchell, Northrop Grumman, Siemens and Verastar have already supported the centre.

As part of Salesforce becoming a Founding Partner of the NWCRC, Enterprise Account Executive Andy Doran will join the NWCRC Guidance Council. 

Andy Doran, Enterprise Account Executive at Salesforce, said of the announcement: 

“Thank you to the NWCRC for their warm welcome. It is exciting to be part of an amazing preventative service that supports policing and local businesses in the North West and nationally. At Salesforce, business is the greatest platform for change and doing good globally. We are honoured to be part of the amazing work the NWCRC is doing, and we are looking forward to supporting this work.”

Detective Chief Inspector Chris Maddocks of the NWROCU said: 

“We’re delighted to welcome Salesforce as our latest Founding Partner. Seeing so much interest in our mission to improve cyber resilience across the region’s business community is really encouraging. We’ve been fortunate with the calibre of partners supporting us. Andy and the team at Salesforce are perfect examples of the altruistic and forward-thinking mindset we all need to employ to tackle this urgent issue. We’re excited to see how we can make a difference together.”

The NWCRC was set up in Greater Manchester in 2019 as a pilot scheme to support businesses in the region with the growing threat of cybercrime and cyber fraud. It was so successful that it was expanded for the North West region, rolled out to other areas across England and Wales, and included in the HM Government National Cyber Strategy 2022. As a result, the NWCRC membership continues to grow at pace year on year.”
