Cyber Essentials Accreditation

Introduction

In today’s digital-first world, the importance of robust cyber security measures cannot be overstated. At Metricy, we understand that the foundation of trust with our clients begins with the assurance of uncompromised data security and privacy. That’s why we are proud to announce that Metricy has achieved Cyber Essentials certification from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Understanding Cyber Essentials

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed scheme, designed to help organisations protect themselves against a wide array of common cyber attacks. The certification process requires organisations to demonstrate adherence to a set of essential security controls, which play a critical role in safeguarding data from cyber threats. Achieving this certification means that Metricy has met rigorous standards in firewall configurations, secure configuration, user access control, malware protection, and patch management.

Why This Matters for Metricy

For Metricy, achieving Cyber Essentials certification is more than just meeting regulatory requirements; it’s about building a culture of security that permeates every aspect of our operations. In the realm of data and analytics consultancy, where data is both our most valuable asset and our responsibility, establishing robust defences against cyber threats is paramount. This certification assures our clients and partners that we are equipped to protect their data with the most up-to-date and effective security practices.

The Journey to Certification

The path to Cyber Essentials certification was a journey of self-assessment, improvement, and validation. Our team conducted a thorough review of our existing security measures, identified areas for enhancement, and implemented best practices across our systems and processes. This process not only strengthened our security posture but also deepened our understanding of the evolving threat landscape and the importance of proactive security measures.

Why This Matters for Our Clients and Partners

For our clients, Metricy’s Cyber Essentials certification is a guarantee of our dedication to security at every level. It reassures that their data is managed and protected according to the highest standards. This certification is a cornerstone of our promise to not only deliver exceptional data analytics solutions but also to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of our clients’ information.

Looking Forward

As we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded of the ever-evolving nature of cyber threats and the continuous effort required to stay ahead. Metricy is committed to ongoing improvement and adherence to best practices in cyber security.

Conclusion

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is a pivotal step in our ongoing commitment to excellence in cyber security. We at Metricy are excited to share this achievement with our clients and partners, as it represents not just a commitment to protecting data but also to the trust and reliability that are the foundation of our relationships. Together, we will continue to navigate the complexities of the digital world, fortified by the assurance of top-tier cyber security.
