We are excited to announce that as of July 4th, 2024, International Castor Company Ltd has officially achieved Cyber Essentials certification. This significant milestone underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cyber security, ensuring the protection of our systems, data, and customers.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations of all sizes protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. The scheme provides a clear framework of essential security controls which organisations must implement to safeguard their IT systems. Through an external assessment five key areas of digital security are measured:
1. Firewalls and Internet Gateways
2. Digitial Security Configuration
3. Access Control
4. Malware Protection
5. Patch Management
By achieving Cyber Essentials certification, we have demonstrated that we have taken essential steps to safeguard against cyber threats and formed a solid foundation of security measures.
What does this mean to you?
The primary benefit of Cyber Essentials certification is the enhanced security posture it brings to our organisation. By adhering to the guidelines, we have fortified our defenses against a wide range of cyber threats. This reduces the risk of data breaches, malware attacks, and other cybersecurity incidents that could disrupt our operations and compromise sensitive information.
By attaining this certification, we show that we take cybersecurity and the welfare of our customers, business, and staff member's data seriously.
If you have any questions about the Cyber Essentials certification, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team who'll be happy to answer any questions.
