Azzurri has achieved the Government's Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation for a second year.
Azzurri achieved reaccreditation of the more advanced Cyber Essentials Plus certification, which means that the security and robustness of company's platform and internet facing applications have been independently tested and verified by an external certification body. This involved investigations inside the network, vulnerability scanning, remote access capability and penetration testing.
The Cyber Essentials Scheme was launched by the UK Government in 2014, and recognises the achievement of government-endorsed standards of cyber hygiene which can significantly reduce organisations' vulnerability. Adherence to the scheme is an essential certification for any public sector ICT supplier.
"It's another string to our bow to have achieved this accreditation once more, and it gives public sector organisations the guarantee that our security credentials meet Government standards," said Chris Jagusz, CEO of Azzurri Communications.
"Our public sector customers quite rightly consider robust security and cyber-crime detection mechanisms as more than a simple tick in the box. It has become a 'do or die' requirement that all their suppliers must demonstrate."
