Cyber essentials

We take cyber security very seriously and has acquired the Cyber Essentials certification.

Government and industry have worked together to produce a scheme designed to help UK organisations improve their defences and demonstrate publicly their commitment to cyber security.

The Cyber Essentials scheme addresses the most common Internet-based threats to cyber security — particularly, attacks that use widely available tools and demand little skill. The scheme considers these threats to be:

• hacking — exploiting known vulnerabilities in Internet-connected devices, using widely available tools and techniques
• phishing — and other ways of tricking users into installing or executing a malicious application
• password guessing — manual or automated attempts to log on from the Internet, by guessing passwords

The Cyber Essentials scheme helps organisations to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data stored on devices which connect to the Internet. Such as:

• desktop and laptop PCs
• tablets and smartphones
• all types of server and networking equipment.
