Recertifying Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus

We are proud to share that we have once again achieved certification in both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus which is a testament to the strength of our cyber security measures and our ongoing commitment to safeguarding sensitive information.

These Government backed certifications, recognised across the UK, reflect the robust and evolving protections we have in place to defend against the most common and damaging forms of cyber threat. The Cyber Essentials certification is based on an independently verified self-assessment, while Cyber Essentials Plus involves a detailed technical audit carried out by external cyber security specialists.

Being recertified means our digital infrastructure, from our IT systems to procedural controls, continues to meet the high standards required for accreditation. It underscores our ongoing vigilance and proactive approach to staying ahead of potential threats in an increasingly complex digital environment.

Andrew Leitch, Senior infrastructure architect, added:

“Receiving Cyber Essentials Plus again this year confirms that our approach to cyber security is both rigorous and effective. It’s about more than meeting standards; it’s about creating a secure environment where our clients and colleagues can operate with confidence. We don’t take that trust lightly. Protecting digital information is embedded in how we work, not just a box ticking exercise.”

Richard Spofforth, Partner, commented:

“Achieving this dual certification again speaks volumes about our firm’s diligence and culture. Everyone at Kreston Reeves plays a role in maintaining our security, from regular cyber training to day-to-day awareness. My sincere thanks go to our IT, Compliance, and Data teams for leading these efforts and to all colleagues who uphold these standards every day.”

Cyber security is an ongoing priority for us, and these renewed certifications reflect our commitment to not only complying with industry benchmarks but to maintaining a secure foundation for our clients and our business to thrive.
