We’re proud to say that we have received Cyber Essentials certification. In today's digital age, where cybersecurity threats are prevalent, we are now well prepared for the fight against cyber crime.
What is Cyber Essentials Accreditation?
Cyber Essentials Accreditation is a government-backed scheme, designed to help organisations implement basic security controls to protect their sensitive information from cyber threats. It is a widely recognised certification that demonstrates an organisation's commitment to cybersecurity best practices.
Benefits of Cyber Essentials Accreditation:
Enhanced Security: Cyber Essentials Accreditation provides us with a solid foundation to protect ourselves against common cyber threats. By implementing the necessary security controls, we can minimise the risks of potential breaches and data loss.
Protection Against Common Attacks: Cyber Essentials focuses on five key areas, namely firewalls, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management. By addressing these areas, we are better equipped to defend against common cyber attacks, such as phishing, malware, and hacking attempts.
Competitive Advantage: Obtaining Cyber Essentials Accreditation can give a competitive edge. It not only demonstrates our commitment to cybersecurity but also reassures customers and stakeholders that their data and information are being handled securely.
Compliance: Many contracts now require organisations to hold Cyber Essentials Accreditation. By obtaining this certification, we become eligible to bid for and win contracts, expanding our business opportunities.
Risk Mitigation: Cyber threats can have severe consequences on reputation, financial status, and overall operations. Cyber Essentials Accreditation helps us to proactively manage and mitigate these risks, ensuring long-term stability and growth.
In the face of increasing cyber threats, Cyber Essentials Accreditation is an essential step for Futurform to safeguard our digital infrastructure. By adopting the best practices outlined in the Cyber Essentials scheme, we can enhance our security posture, protect valuable data, boost customer trust, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. With the digital landscape evolving rapidly, Cyber Essentials Accreditation provides a solid foundation for striving for cybersecurity excellence.
