That means our customers can rest assured that we are doing all we can to protect our data from the risk of cyber threats and attacks.
Cyber Essentials is a Government backed scheme which helps protect organisations, whatever their size, against a whole range of the most common cyber-attacks.
To gain the certification we had to demonstrate that we have implemented essential security measures to protect against them.
As a company we take cyber security extremely seriously and certification provides third-party validation of our commitment to the cybersecurity best practices we have in place.
Certification helps us ensure that personal and sensitive data of our clients and customers is protected from unauthorised access, reducing the risk of data breaches. It also helps us evaluate and enhance our incident response procedures ensuring that we have effective measures in place to detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents, minimising potential for damage.
TMT First’s Head of IT Jamie Dobbs said: “We are delighted to have gained Cyber Essentials Certification. It will help assure our customers and our partners that we take cybersecurity seriously and have taken steps to safeguard their data and that their information is in safe hands with us. We feel that having Certification sets us apart from competitors who may not have the same level of cybersecurity measures in place.
He added: “Implementing the cybersecurity measures required for certification can help us identify vulnerabilities and potential risks. By addressing these issues proactively, we can mitigate the likelihood of costly cyberattacks and data breaches in the future.”
Cyber Essentials Certification is not a one-time achievement and will help us continuously improve our security measures to adapt to evolving threats.
