At T-Systems, cyber security is embedded in our DNA, and we are pleased to share that we successfully attained the Cyber Essentials certification. This government-backed accreditation helps businesses protect against the most common cyber threats in the UK.
Cybersecurity has emerged as a critical concern for organizations across the spectrum, from small enterprises to large corporations. In the past year alone, nearly half of all businesses in the UK have fallen victim to cybercrime, highlighting the pervasive nature of this threat. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has drawn attention to the escalating risk of cyber-attacks, mainly through vulnerabilities within supply chains. This underscores the urgent need for companies to proactively protect their sensitive data and secure their IT systems against potential breaches. As cyber threats continue to evolve, taking decisive action has never been more essential for safeguarding organizational integrity and resilience.
Cyber Essentials is a straightforward yet effective scheme designed to help organizations protect themselves from cyber threats by implementing five key security controls:
This certification is more than just a badge—it’s a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to cyber security. By meeting the Cyber Essentials standards, we’re protecting our own data and ensuring that our customers and partners can have confidence in our security measures.
The benefits of this certification extend beyond compliance. It reinforces trust with our clients, keeps us ahead of emerging threats, and allows us to apply for contracts that require Cyber Essentials certification as a baseline security measure.
We remain dedicated to maintaining the highest security and resilience standards as cyber threats evolve. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is an important milestone. Still, it is just one part of our broader strategy to keep our organization and customers safe in an increasingly digital world.
