We are delighted to have achieved Cyber Essentials PLUS Certification.

Cyber Essentials PLUS is a UK Government-backed, industry-supported certification scheme introduced in the UK to help organisations demonstrate operational security against common cyber-attacks.

It demonstrates the baseline controls Austin-Smith:Lord implements to mitigate the risk from common Internet-based threats, within the context of the UK Government’s 10 Steps to Cyber Security. It is backed by industry, including the Federation of Small Businesses and the Confederation of British Industry.

David Price, IT Manager at Austin-Smith:Lord said “Cyber Essentials PLUS accreditation clearly demonstrates Austin-Smith: Lord’s commitment to protecting its own data and that of its customers and suppliers.  Essentials PLUS encompasses a far greater number of Cyber assessments, thereby providing us with a better understanding of our organisation’s levels of Cyber risk, ensuring it is kept to a minimum for the Practice and our customers.”
