We are proud to announce that Griffin Chapman has officially achieved Cyber Essentials certification, a UK government-backed scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber threats.
At Griffin Chapman, we take data security very seriously, and this certification is a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to ensuring the security, integrity, and confidentiality of our clients’ data and our internal systems.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a widely respected standard that outlines the essential cyber security measures every organisation should have in place. It focuses on five key areas:
- Secure internet connections
- Secure devices and software
- Access control
- Malware protection
- Regular patch management
By gaining this certification, we’ve demonstrated that we meet these basic yet critical security requirements.
