We are very pleased to announce that Corroconsult UK Ltd has achieved the Government backed, industry supported Cyber essentials certification by the NCSC National Cyber Security Centre.
The certification is another step forward in our journey of striving to be at the forefront of the industry. We believe that we are one of the first cathodic protection companies to achieve this certification. It demonstrates how serious we are regarding our cyber security across all aspects of our company and adds a level of external assurance that we are putting the correct protocols in place to protect our systems and client data. We are elated that our efforts and strict protocols in place have been recognised by the Cyber Essentials certification and we plan to renew our certification annually to retain external assurance and to stay up to date with the best procedures in online security.
The scheme is jointly developed by the National Cyber Security Centre UK and the UK Government and covers the most common online based cyber threats. These include hacking, phishing and password guessing. The assessment process involved assessing the following five technical controls of our IT infrastructure: Firewalls, Secure Configuration, User Access Control, Malware Protection and Patch Management. We were already compliant in most of the assessment with only minor adjustments to gain our certification.
The ongoing dedication and contributions of our office personnel has been imperative in achieving the certification and a huge thank you for all their efforts is well deserved.
