Cyber Essentials PLUS Certification Success

Developed by the UK Government, the Cyber Essentials scheme has been designed to help protect UK businesses by preventing the most prevalent forms of cyber-attacks and making the UK a safer place to do business online. The Cyber Essentials Plus scheme provides a higher level of assurance, tested by an independent assessor.

Core Controls

Cyber Essentials accreditation focuses on five core controls:

• Boundary firewalls and Internet gateways
• User access controls and administrative privilege management
• Malware protection
• Patch management

Commenting on the accreditation, Mark Hobson, Chief Compliance Officer said, “Eploy recognise the importance of demonstrating to customers and prospects that we understand the need for a robust, secure IT infrastructure and systems through recognised certification from a National Cyber Security Centre approved auditor. In achieving this higher level of assurance with Cyber Essentials Plus, it shows customers our commitment to the security and protection of our systems.”
