Leading healthcare operations solutions provider, Agilio Software, has been awarded the Cyber Essentials Certification.
Endorsed by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and supported by industry leaders, the Cyber Essentials scheme provides a reliable roadmap to help organisations protect against the most common cyber attacks.
In today’s interconnected technological landscape, robust cyber security is a necessity and safeguarding organisations against cyber threats is crucial.
Agilio has achieved the Cyber Essentials foundational certification. It assures that your organisation has essential controls in place to guard against common threats. Certifications are valid for a year and focus on five key areas: firewalls and routers, software updates and patching, malware protection, access control, and secure configuration. Implementing the controls outlined in Cyber Essentials can significantly reduce the risk of cyber-attacks and make your organisation a more challenging target.
Beyond the enhanced security, the certification also offers a tangible way to demonstrate an organisation’s commitment to best-practice security. In an increasingly interconnected world, this can significantly enhance trust with your supply chain and clients. In certain sectors, having a Cyber Essentials certification is not just beneficial, but a mandatory requirement.
Agilio Software has two current cyber and information security certifications. It holds a valid Cyber Essentials certificate which covers all Agilio end-user devices, firewalls, and internal networks and is in the process of achieving the higher level – Cyber Essentials Plus. Additionally, its engineering function, which includes the development and hosting of all our applications processing customer data, holds a current ISO 27001 certification (through Clarity Informatics, trading as Agilio Primary Care).
As a market leader in the areas of e-learning, compliance and HR, Agilio is fully committed to implementing enhanced security measures and controls to protect its systems and therefore its staff and customers from potential cyber threats.
Kit Barker, Agilio’s Chief Information Security Officer, said: “In today’s interconnected technological landscape, robust cyber security is a necessity and safeguarding your organisation against cyber threats is crucial. We are delighted to be CE certified and look forward to achieving the next level of the scheme.”
