Communicate Technology is Cyber Essentials Plus Certified

We're pleased to share that we have successfully renewed our Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

This certification confirms that our systems, controls and security practices meet a recognised UK standard, and that those controls have been independently tested.

For our customers, it provides reassurance that the services supporting your business are built and managed with security in mind.

What Cyber Essentials Plus Means

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed scheme focused on five key areas: secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, security update management and firewalls.

Cyber Essentials Plus goes a step further. It includes independent technical testing to confirm those controls are working as they should. This covers areas such as vulnerability scanning, system testing and validation of security configurations and patching.

What's also key is that it's not self-assessed: every element is verified by a qualified external assessor.

Why It Matters

Security isn't just about protecting your own systems. It also depends on the organisations you work with.

Having a Cyber Essentials Plus certified provider reduces risk across your supply chain and gives you more confidence in how your environment is managed.

There's also a clear, practical benefit. Research shows that organisations with Cyber Essentials Plus are significantly less likely to experience a cyber-related insurance claim. That added assurance supports both operational resilience and customer trust.

Ongoing Commitment

Renewing our Cyber Essentials Plus certification is part of how we maintain consistent standards across our services. It reflects the approach we take to keeping systems secure and protecting the organisations we work with.

If you're considering Cyber Essentials for your own organisation, we're an approved provider for both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus. We can guide you through the process from start to finish, helping you put the right controls in place and ensuring you're ready for certification.

Security starts with strong foundations

Achieve Cyber Essentials certification with expert guidance from an approved provider.
