We’re pleased to confirm that we’ve achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification, building on our Cyber Essentials certification earlier this year.
This strengthens our approach to protecting our IT systems, data, people and supply chain from ever evolving cyber threats. It also provides independently verified assurance that our cyber security controls are robust and aligned with recognised best practice.
WHAT IS CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS?
WHAT IS CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS?Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+) is the highest level of certification under the UK Government-backed Cyber Essentials scheme, overseen by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
While Cyber Essentials establishes a baseline of technical controls, CE+ goes further. It involves an independent, hands-on technical audit to verify that those controls are properly implemented and working effectively across the organisation.
HOW WE WERE ASSESSED
As part of the CE+ audit, a representative sample of systems and devices were independently tested to confirm compliance with the standard.
This included:
- Internal & external vulnerability scanning.
- Device configuration & patching validation.
- Malware protection & access control checks.
- Verification of multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Practical testing of user devices & systems.
This confirmed that our systems, controls and processes are operating to a high standard and that cyber security is embedded across the business.
WHY CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS MATTERS
The cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, with organisations increasingly targeted by phishing, ransomware, supply chain attacks and more sophisticated, AI-driven threats.
CE+ provides independently verified assurance to our clients, partners and suppliers that:
- Robust cyber security controls are in place & validated.
- Systems & devices are secure, up to date & actively managed.
- Best practice cyber hygiene is embedded across the business.
- Sensitive data & operational systems are protected.
Achieving CE+ strengthens our ability to protect our operations, maintain client trust and support secure project delivery across our supply chain.

A WORD FROM SAM KELLY, QUALITY & COMPLIANCE DIRECTOR
On achieving Cyber Essentials Plus certification, Sam Kelly said:
“We’re extremely proud to have achieved CE+ certification. It reflects the continued focus on strengthening our systems, controls and day-to-day cyber security practices across the business.
Protecting our data, our clients and our operations remains a key priority. This independent verification gives confidence that we’re maintaining the very highest of standards and aligning with best practice”
LOOKING AHEAD
Our CE+ certification is valid for the next 12 months and will be reassessed annually as the standard continues to evolve in line with the ever-changing threat landscape.
Maintaining CE+ is an ongoing commitment, and we’ll continue to strengthen our systems, controls and cyber hygiene to ensure we remain secure, resilient and aligned with best practice.
