At 101 Data Solutions, data security isn’t just a priority, it’s a core part of who we are. That’s why we’re proud to announce the successful renewal of our Cyber Essentials certification, once again reinforcing our commitment to safeguarding data and maintaining the highest cybersecurity standards.
This achievement was made possible with the continued support of CyberSmart, a leading provider of automated cybersecurity compliance solutions. Their expert guidance and intuitive platform streamlined the renewal process, ensuring we stayed compliant and cyber-secure with minimal disruption to our day-to-day operations.
What Is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification that helps organisations protect themselves against a wide range of the most common cyber threats. It focuses on five key controls:
- Firewalls
- Secure configuration
- User access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
Holding this certification not only demonstrates our proactive stance on cybersecurity but also assures our clients, partners, and suppliers that their data is handled with integrity and care.
A Word of Thanks to our Partner CyberSmart
We’re grateful to CyberSmart for their continued partnership. Their platform made the renewal process efficient and stress-free, allowing us to focus on what we do best, delivering high-quality data solutions to our clients.
As we continue to grow and evolve, cybersecurity will remain at the heart of our operations. Cyber Essentials is just one of the many steps we take to ensure our systems are secure and our clients’ data stays protected
The CyberSmart assessment team are thorough and helpful, ensuring we put in place the measures needed to maintain a cyber-resilient infrastructure and achieve the Cyber Essentials certification. CyberSmart Active Protect, and the brand new CyberSmart Patch helps us keep our machines and software up to date! An excellent package that pays for itself!
Looking Ahead
We view this renewal not as a checkbox exercise, but as part of an ongoing journey to improve our security posture and lead by example in the data solutions industry. Thank you to everyone involved in the process, and here’s to another year of secure, trusted service.
