Cal Partners achieves Cyber Essentials certification for the second year running

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully achieved Cyber Essentials certification for the second consecutive year, reaffirming our commitment to maintaining strong cybersecurity practices and protecting client information.

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme that helps organisations assess their cybersecurity practices against standards set by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Certification is renewed annually, so achieving it for a second year means reviewing our systems and processes again to make sure they continue to meet the required standard.

The scheme focuses on five key technical controls designed to protect organisations against some of the most common online threats.

Director Chris Lucarelli commented:

We take the security of our data and our client’s information very seriously, so we’re pleased to have achieved Cyber Essentials certification for a second consecutive year. Cybersecurity isn’t something you can review once and forget about as threats continue to evolve, so do the ways businesses work and use technology. Regularly reviewing our systems and processes is an important part of how we operate.

What our Cyber Essentials renewal means for clients

For the professional services firms we work with, cybersecurity and the careful handling of information are understandably important considerations when choosing external suppliers.

Renewing our Cyber Essentials certification provides further reassurance that:

• our systems have been assessed against recognised cybersecurity requirements
• we regularly review and update our approach to cyber risks
• protecting client information remains an ongoing priority for the business

Cyber Essentials itself is also reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology and emerging cyber threats, making annual reassessment an important part of maintaining certification.

Chris added:

Achieving certification again demonstrates that this is an ongoing commitment for us. As our business develops and technology changes, we want our clients to have confidence that we’re continuing to take appropriate steps to keep our systems and information secure.

We’re delighted to have achieved Cyber Essentials certification for a second year running and will continue to review our cybersecurity practices as part of our wider commitment to operating responsibly and professionally.
