One Team, One Score: How Culture and Customer Satisfaction Got Us an All-Time NPS of 82

Posted May 30, 2019

GreyCastle Security is proud to share that we have achieved an all-time Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 82. The NPS measures the loyalty between an organization and its customers, and a score of 70 or above is considered “excellent” or “world class.”

This NPS of 82 highlights GreyCastle Security’s commitment to helping organizations develop effective cybersecurity programs, minimize the impact of state and federal compliance regulations, improve client retention, and mitigate security incidents. Our revolutionary approach to service delivery solidifies the business mindset that cybersecurity is not just an “IT” issue – it’s about the overall health of your business.

We believe that cybersecurity and effective defense is wholly possible if you use common sense, apply a system of measurement, and understand what you are trying to protect.

What is Net Promoter Score?

The NPS is a survey method that helps an organization determine how loyal their customers are. It asks one simple question: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to recommend GreyCastle Security to others?” Customer answers to this question put respondents into one of three categories:

Promoters (score 9-10) are loyal customers and would most likely recommend the company to others.

Passives (score 7-8) are satisfied but neutral.

Detractors (score 0-6) would not recommend the organization to others.

The average NPS for B2B Service Providers is 69. By using NPS as a metric for customer satisfaction, a company can get a clear picture of its performance in the eyes of its customers.

What does GreyCastle Security’s score mean?

At GreyCastle Security, we’re upheld to the highest standard. We hire the best people, we have the best processes and the best delivery. With this all-time NPS of 82, not only does that represent our excellent quality of work, but the satisfaction and loyalty of our customers in a highly competitive industry.

Along with our strong foundation of transparency, humble confidence and having a “one team one score” mindset, we have a strong reputation for being a workplace full of high-motivation, encouragement, and morale.

What are GreyCastle Security’s values?

Our aim is to provide a safe, kind, transparent, comfortable, inclusive, productive, and rewarding environment in which all contributions are recognized. We ensure this by living our core values:

Kindness

  • Be authentic. Say “hello,” “please,” and “thank you.” Speak up if you feel a fellow team member’s ideas and/or potential contributions are excluded. Assume good intent behind others’ actions and behaviors. Listen, engage, and challenge each other as you would a friend or ally.

Humble Confidence

  • Know when to exercise confidence as a subject matter expert while also knowing when to exercise humility when not. Be comfortable with “I don’t know.” Tap into the knowledge of the team and gain a 360 degree view. Share your street corner; be accepting of others’ ideas, thoughts, feelings, and experiences as true for them. Ask for help when you need it.

Transparency

  • Utilize Questions, Concerns, Issues (“No Q, it’s on you”). Link to others ideas, thoughts and feelings – give positive energy and recognition back. Say what you mean and how much you mean it. Be willing to lean into discomfort and challenge yourself and others.

Safety

  • Create a sense of safety for yourself and your team members. Ask others what they need to feel comfortable and safe. Avoid language that diminishes people, their ideas, or their efforts. Build trust, do what you say you’ll do and honor confidentiality.

Accountability

  • Work for the common good and shared success (your success is my success attitude). Know what’s expected of you and deliver. Measure your performance. Own your mistakes. Address misunderstandings and resolve disagreements.

Integrity

  • Keep your word. Practice non-judgment. Give credit where it’s due. Communicate honestly. Honor confidentiality when it’s requested.

Efficiency

  • Ensure right people, right work, right time. Ask who else needs to be involved to understand the whole situation. Develop repeatable processes. Clearly define roles and responsibilities. Ensure alignment of priorities and objectives with our corporate goals. Be adaptable.
