We are very pleased to share that Amshire Solutions has successfully renewed its Cyber Essentials Plus certification following our annual assessment.
Cyber Essentials Plus is a Government backed certification that helps organisations demonstrate their commitment to cyber security. It goes beyond the standard Cyber Essentials certification by including independent technical testing to verify that key security controls are in place and working effectively.
For our customers, this provides additional reassurance that security remains a priority across our own business. We continue to review, maintain, and strengthen our systems, processes, and controls to help protect the services, data, and technology our customers rely on every day.
Why Cyber Essentials Plus Matters
Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue. Businesses are increasingly being asked by customers, insurers, suppliers, and public sector bodies to show that they have appropriate security measures in place.
Cyber Essentials helps organisations put important security controls around common areas of risk, including secure configuration, access control, malware protection, security updates, and internet connected systems.
Cyber Essentials Plus adds a further level of assurance by including an independent assessment of those controls.
What This Means for Our Customers
Renewing Cyber Essentials Plus reflects our ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards across our own business.
As an IT support and cyber security partner, we believe it’s important that we hold ourselves to the same standards we recommend to our customers.
Our certification demonstrates that we continue to take practical steps to protect our own environment, improve our processes, and reduce the risk of common cyber threats.
While certification is only one part of a strong cyber security strategy, it provides a valuable framework for reviewing security, identifying areas for improvement, and demonstrating that cyber risk is being taken seriously.
Should Your Business Consider Cyber Essentials?
For many organisations, Cyber Essentials is becoming increasingly important.
It can help your business:
- Show customers and suppliers that you take cyber security seriously
- Support tender, contract, and supply chain requirements
- Assist with insurance and compliance conversations
- Reduce the risk of common cyber attacks
- Improve confidence in your IT systems and security processes
- Provide a recognised framework for reviewing your current security position
Cyber Essentials isn’t just about achieving a certificate. Done properly, it helps businesses understand where they are today, where the gaps are, and what needs to be improved.
