We are excited to share a significant milestone in our journey toward enhancing data security: Rapid X has successfully achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification! This accomplishment not only reflects our dedication to safeguarding sensitive information but also reinforces our commitment in providing our customers with the highest standards of protection.
Why Cyber Essentials Plus Matters
In today’s digital landscape, data security is more critical than ever. Cyber Essentials Plus is a government-backed scheme that sets out a clear framework for organisations to protect themselves against common cyber threats. For us, achieving this certification signifies that we have implemented IT security measures, ensuring that our systems are resilient against potential cyber-attacks.
Our Journey to Certification
The path to Cyber Essentials Plus was both challenging and rewarding. It required a thorough assessment of our IT infrastructure and the implementation of the correct security controls, and as part of this commitment to demonstrate that our organisation is taking data security seriously, we are ensuring our team was trained and understood their role on this process as we were all part of this journey and data is a responsibility of each of us. Furthermore, we undertook a review process, addressing vulnerabilities and reinforcing our defences. The culmination of this effort was a successful external audit, validating our commitment to data security.
