We are proud to announce that we have achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, the higher-level qualification of the Cyber Essentials scheme. This certification is a government-backed scheme that demonstrates our commitment to protecting our organisation and our clients from cyber threats.

The Cyber Essentials scheme is a Government-backed framework aimed at helping businesses protect themselves against cyber-attacks. Developed and managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), CE is considered the best first step to a more secure network by protecting against 80% of the most common cyber threats. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates a commitment to protecting business operations, ensuring cyber security, and safeguarding the data of customers and partners.

We understand that the protection of client data is of the utmost importance, and this certification is a testament to our commitment to keeping our clients' information safe. We will continue to maintain and improve our cybersecurity measures to ensure that we remain up-to-date with the latest threats and that our clients can trust us to protect their data.

To achieve Cyber Essentials Plus, we underwent a third-party hands-on technical verification to ensure that we met the requirements of the scheme in full, and had effectively implemented each of the five basic control themes (access control, secure configuration, software updates, malware protection and firewalls and routers). This technical assessment was conducted by the accredited certification body URM Consulting Services, and involved a comprehensive vulnerability scan.

URM’s assessor commented, “Stadia Consulting Group were an easy company to assess, they had an excellent security posture with a comprehensive set of policies and technical controls which showed they were compliant with CE. Additionally, their knowledge of cloud infrastructure and services were observed to be exemplary.”

In conclusion, achieving Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation is a significant milestone for our organisation and it demonstrates our commitment to providing a secure environment for our clients. We are proud to have been recognised for our efforts and will continue to invest in cybersecurity to protect our organisation and our clients.

Having achieving certification against Cyber Essentials Plus, Stadia Consulting Group is now listed on a directory of certified organisations, which is available on IASME’s website, the National Cyber Security Centre's (NCSC's) Cyber Essentials scheme delivery partner.
