“An ever-greater emphasis is now placed on robust security assessment and compliance, with new and evolving data protection and other regulations and directive affecting Europe and the U.K.,” Intertek said in a video on how NTA complements its cybersecurity and assurance offerings. “The acquisition of NTA provides Intertek with a footprint in the U.K. security assurance and certification space.”
