Agilio gains Cyber Essentials Plus certification

As if our recent ISO 27001 re-certification wasn’t enough, we are delighted to announce that we’ve added Cyber Essentials Plus to our security standard certifications. We’re on a roll!

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is all about ensuring Agilio is protected from vast majority of common cyber-attacks. It is a government-backed scheme that aims to help companies become much more cyber-secure, reducing their vulnerability to common tried and tested attacks.

There are, however, two types of Cyber Essentials certification.

There’s Cyber Essentials, which involves a self-assessment, and successful certification will give you reassurance that your cyber defences will protect you against the most common types of cyber-attack.

What is Cyber Essentials Plus?

Cyber Essential Plus is the highest level of certification under the Cyber Essentials Scheme. It covers everything in Cyber Essentials, with the addition of a technical assessment from a qualified assessor. This involves an internal vulnerability scan ensuring the protections against common cyber-attacks are correctly in place.

Let’s hear from Agilio’s Head of IT and Business Systems, Michael Higgins!

“We’re delighted with our latest accomplishment: the Cyber Essentials Plus certification. This achievement highlights our dedication to safeguarding our IT systems and data against the most common cyber threats.

“And our work doesn’t stop here! Our IT team and all our people at Agilio continue our commitment to maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to ensure a high level of protection for our IT Systems and data.” – Michael Higgins, Head of IT and Business Systems.
