Cyber security is so important in the current climate as smartphones, computers and the internet are now such a fundamental part of modern life, and it’s more important than ever to take steps to prevent cyber criminals obtaining accounts information, business, personal and competitively sensitive data. It’s also important to prevent access to electronic devices remotely by those wanting to do harm.
At FRC Group we take cyber security seriously, so have worked hard to become officially accredited with the prestigious Cyber Essentials certification. Cyber Essentials is a Government backed scheme that helps businesses protect their organisation against a whole range of the most common cyber-attacks.
FRC Group IT Manager, Dave Sharp commented:
“We have demonstrated that we have technical measures in places, such as firewalls, antivirus, multi-factor authentication etc, backed by company processes and procedures to ensure that cyber threats (from both external and internal sources) is minimised. This helps give us a little more peace of mind that we are doing what we can to ensure we have a secure IT infrastructure.”
Cyber Essentials gives us protection against a wide variety of the most common cyber-attacks, simply because these attacks are looking for targets who do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place.
Having this accreditation shows our commitment to cyber security and gives reassurance to our customers and suppliers alike.
