Goal 17 Achieves Cyber Essentials Certification

 We’re Proud to Announce Our Cyber Essentials Certification

At Goal 17, security has always been at the heart of our operations, and we are thrilled to announce that we have officially achieved Cyber Essentials certification. This milestone is a testament to our commitment to safeguarding the data and systems that underpin our business and demonstrates our proactive approach to cybersecurity.

Cyber Essentials is a UK government-backed certification scheme designed to help organisations protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. By obtaining this certification, we’ve ensured that our technology infrastructure and practices meet stringent security standards, protecting our company and our clients from potential security risks.

Why Cyber Essentials Matters

Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, and organisations of all sizes are potential targets. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification means that we have robust security measures in place to defend against 80% of the most common cyber-attacks. This includes securing our network, managing access controls, implementing strong password policies, and ensuring that all devices are kept up to date with the latest security patches.

 Our certification not only strengthens our internal security posture but also provides assurance to our clients, partners, and stakeholders that we take cybersecurity seriously. It shows that we are a trusted and responsible partner, committed to protecting sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of our services.

The Journey to Certification

 The path to certification involved a comprehensive review of our systems and processes. We took a detailed look at everything from our firewall configurations and software management to our user access policies and incident response plans. Each member of our team played a vital role in ensuring that we met the requirements and embraced the best practices outlined in the Cyber Essentials scheme.

We are especially proud of how our team collaborated and responded to the challenge. This certification not only reflects the strength of our IT systems but also highlights our company culture of continuous improvement and teamwork.

What’s Next?

Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is not the end of our cybersecurity journey. We are committed to maintaining and improving our security standards as the landscape evolves. This certification is just one part of our ongoing efforts to keep our data and systems secure and to build trust with our clients and partners. 

We will continue to review and enhance our security policies, invest in training and awareness programs, and ensure that all new systems and processes are aligned with the highest security standards. Our clients can feel confident knowing that Goal 17 is always working to protect their data and uphold our shared values of security and integrity.

Thank You!

We would like to thank everyone who supported us on this journey. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is a team effort, and we appreciate the dedication and hard work of our staff, as well as the trust and confidence of our clients and partners.
