iHasco achieve recertification in Cyber Essentials Scheme

Posted 2 years ago

We’re delighted to announce that our Cyber Essentials renewal application was approved for a sixth year running, meaning we are now certified in Cyber Security for 2023!

What is the Cyber Essentials Scheme?

The Cyber Essentials Scheme is a government-backed scheme that helps organisations guard against some of the most common cyber threats. Organisations that pass their applications demonstrate a strong commitment to cyber-security.

The scope of this certification covers the IT infrastructure currently used within iHasco, including, but not limited to, servers, workstations, firewall hardware, anti-virus, and software applications.

What does this mean for you?

Our certification provides you with the reassurance that our defences will protect against the vast majority of common cyber-attacks!

What does Cyber Essentials actually test?

Boundary firewalls and internet gateways – all networks should have a properly configured firewall.
Secure configuration – default configurations are often vulnerable, these need to be made secure.
User access controls – only the correct, authorised people can access systems.
Malware protection – protection against malware and other viruses.
Patch management – all software and systems should have the latest security patches installed.
