The ECRC is excited to announce our newest Cyber Essentials Partner (CEP) - Onyx IT

Our CEPs are cyber security 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 cyber crime.

There are two levels of certification, and pursuing the qualification provides assurance to businesses, their clientele, and their key stakeholders that cyber security 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.

Onyx IT is a leading provider of IT services and support. As part of the Clipeum IT group of businesses, Onyx IT delivers a comprehensive range of technology solutions including innovative cyber security solutions. The Clipeum IT group of companies includes Cribb CS, dedicated to cyber security governance.

Onyx IT understand that every customer is unique, and so are their cyber security needs. Onyx IT create tailored solutions to defend your organisation effectively because all cyber risk is contextual to your specific operations, customers, suppliers, and supply chain.

IT resilience goes beyond Cyber Security and is the ability of a business to maintain continuous IT operations and quickly recover from disruptions. Disruptions include handling unexpected events like cyberattacks, natural disasters, and system failures. Building IT resilience involves adopting practices such as robust backup solutions, disaster recovery plans, and continuous monitoring of IT systems.

With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and client satisfaction, Onyx IT is committed to being a trusted partner in their clients’ journeys towards enhanced operational efficiency and robust cyber security. Onyx IT strive to not only meet industry standards but to set them, helping businesses thrive in a secure and resilient digital environment.
