Cyber Essentials Plus certified

Last year, we became Cyber Essentials Plus certified and we’re pleased to announce that we have been re-certified as both ‘Cyber Essentials Verified Self-Assessed’ and ‘Cyber Essential Plus’ again this year.

Cyber Essentials is a Government backed scheme and an independently verified self-assessment certification. It gives peace of mind that our cyber defences and technical controls will protect us against a wide variety of the most common cyber-attacks.

The Cyber Essentials Plus certification comes after our firm’s IT systems, technical and procedural controls were audited by one of Cyber Essentials highly trained assessors. This certification confirms that our firm has been proven to meet the security standards set out by Cyber Essentials.

Chris Madden, CTO and Operations Director, said, “This certification provides assurance to our clients and team that we have thoroughly implemented cyber protection within our firm.

“It’s our absolute priority to ensure all our systems are safe. This re-accreditation demonstrates our continued efforts and commitment to cyber security”.

Andrew Griggs, Senior Partner, said, “Cyber Essentials Plus is widely recognised as a kitemark. Everyone at Kreston Reeves is also required to partake in regular, up to date cyber security training.

“I would like to thank the IT, Operations, Privacy, Compliance and Data teams, as well as everyone in our firm who continues to remain vigilant to protect our firm, our clients and our data.”

Our Cyber Essentials Plus certification can be verified on the National Cyber Security Centre website.
