We have noticed a distinct rise in clients demanding this accreditation to even be considered to tender for a project,\u201d continued Whitehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme is designed to protect organisations and their data against the most common cyber-threats such as hacking, phishing and password guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConstant developments in technology, means that there are developments in cyber threats and attacks too,\u201d said Louis Steyn, IT director for Boulting. \u201cAll organisations, large or small, must ensure they are protecting the data of their clients and their own. A cyber-attack could be detrimental to an organisation, which could result in a loss of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Cyber Essentials certification is of course, just part of our ongoing and continual assessments to ensure we are always up to date with security practices to overcome any new threats,\u201d Steyn continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe benefits of this certification are not just limited to simply proving our compliance with the guidelines,\u201d added Whitehead. \u201cIt also assures Boulting customers that we are a trusted supplier and prioritise cyber security in our work, regardless of the industry that we are working in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out more about the Cyber Essentials certification click <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"HERE (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberessentials.ncsc.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a><\/strong>.
