Optima Systems Consultancy has achieved Cyber Essentials PLUS certification, to ensure that the correct levels of protection are implemented and to demonstrate the company’s commitment to taking cyber security seriously.
The Cyber Essentials scheme is available at two levels, both of which Optima Systems Consultancy now holds:
- Cyber Essentials – an independently verified self assessment. Organisations assess themselves against five basic security controls and a qualified assessor verifies the information provided.
- Cyber Essentials PLUS – a higher level of assurance. A qualified and independent assessor examines the same five controls, testing that they work in practice by simulating basic hacking and phishing attacks.
Chris Lamb, Optima Systems Constancy’s Managing Director said, “I’d recommend all businesses with any form of web presence to consider their potential vulnerabilities seriously.
Using the Cyber Essentials certification scheme provides the reassurance that appropriate best practice is being used to provide good information security. I consider this to be increasingly important to all concerned, including our clients, suppliers and staff”.
