The ECRC are pleased to announce the onboarding of our latest Cyber Essentials Partner, StarSwift Information Security.

Our CEPs are cybersecurity companies that, alongside various other commercial services, offer the accreditation of Cyber Essentials. Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme that supports businesses in putting various technical controls in place to help protect their organisation from cybercrime.

There are two levels of certification, and pursuing the qualification provides assurance to businesses, their clientele, and their key stakeholders that cybersecurity is a considered and regularly reviewed priority for the company. Choosing to become accredited with Cyber Essentials through one of our Cyber Essentials Partners allows you to build relationships with a local company that provide a quality service, whilst ensuring the cyber resilience of your businesses.
