IT Governance, the cyber security consultancy firm and CREST-accredited certification body, has helped Cloud-based software solutions company
Ostara Systems Limited achieve certification to the Cyber Essentials scheme.
Alan Calder, the founder and executive chairman of IT Governance, said: “I am pleased to congratulate Ostara Systems Limited on successfully meeting the requirements of the Cyber Essentials scheme. Achieving certification demonstrates that Ostara Systems has taken a proactive approach to information security and data protection.”
Neil Harrison, the chief executive officer at Ostara Systems Limited, explains why the company chose to pursue Cyber Essentials certification: “As providers of cloud based software solutions we take internet security very seriously. We therefore welcomed the opportunity to use the Cyber Essentials assurance framework to demonstrate to clients and potential clients that we have taken the essential precautions required to mitigate risk from internet based threats.
“As Cyber Essentials is a government backed scheme we are hoping that this will open opportunities for us in the public sector.”
The Cranfield-based leaders in innovative CAFM software achieved Cyber Essentials certification through IT Governance’s
Do It Yourself package. This unique solution is designed to give organisations full control over their Cyber Essentials certification projects by providing a convenient, cost and time-effective certification service online. The DIY package includes the self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), vulnerability scans, client site visits where required, and the certification service.
The Cyber Essentials scheme helps organisations set out a baseline of cyber security that can prevent “around 80% of cyber attacks”. The certification is a valuable indicator that the organisation has taken the necessary measures to bolster cyber security and reduce the risk of cyber attack.
