We are delighted to share that we have successfully renewed our Cyber Essentials Plus certification, demonstrating our continued commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity protection.
What This Means for Our Clients and Partners
This renewal isn’t just a badge of honour, it’s a tangible demonstration of our dedication to protecting the data and systems that matter most to you. The Cyber Essentials scheme, backed by the UK government, validates that we have robust defences in place against the most common cyber threats that businesses face today.
Our Commitment to Cybersecurity Excellence
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification requires meeting strict criteria across five key technical controls:
- Secure Configuration: Ensuring all our systems are properly configured and unnecessary features are disabled
- Boundary Firewalls and Internet Gateways: Maintaining strong perimeter defences
- Access Control and Administrative Privilege Management: Controlling who has access to what, when they need it
- Patch Management: Keeping all software and systems up to date with the latest security patches
- Malware Protection: Deploying comprehensive anti-malware solutions across our infrastructure
Why This Matters in Today’s Digital Landscape
Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, with businesses of all sizes facing increasingly sophisticated attacks. By maintaining our Cyber Essentials certification, we’re not just keeping pace with these challenges; we’re staying ahead of them. Our renewed certification reflects our commitment to continuously improving our security posture and staying current with emerging threats and best practices. We regularly review and update our security measures to ensure we’re providing you with the most secure service possible.
