Bluesource are proud to announce that we have achieved the Cyber Essentials Certificate of Assurance certification. This government-backed certification highlights our commitment to cyber security and demonstrates that we have implemented robust controls to protect against common cyber threats.
Cyber Essentials is built around five key controls that, when implemented correctly, can help to protect organisations from the most common cyber-attacks. These controls are:
- Boundary firewalls and internet gateways
- Secure configuration
- User access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
This certification also strengthens and complements our overarching approach to information security management, aligning seamlessly with our ISO 27001 certification. As the world's leading standard for information security management systems (ISMS), ISO 27001 provides a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an ISMS. By achieving both certifications, we demonstrate our dedication to proactively managing cyber risks and protecting data with a holistic approach that encompasses people, policies, and technology.
Nick Jaggers, Head of Operations at bluesource UK, said:
"Achieving the Cyber Essentials certification is a testament to our unwavering commitment to protecting our clients’ data and maintaining the highest standards of cyber security. In an era of escalating cyber threats, these achievements provide our clients with the assurance that we are dedicated to safeguarding their information with proactive and rigorous measures."
These certifications mark a significant step forward in our cyber security journey. As cyber threats evolve, we remain steadfast in our dedication to continual improvement, ensuring that our systems, practices, and values keep pace with the demands of a rapidly changing digital landscape. By combining cutting-edge security practices with our core values, we are building a future where trust, resilience, and operational excellence are at the heart of everything we do.
