Partners& Limited has successfully obtained Cyber Essentials Plus certification from The IASME Consortium Ltd. At a time when cybercrime is at an all-time high, this accomplishment marks a significant step in enhancing its cybersecurity landscape.
Partners& takes the security of its, and its clients’ data, very seriously. It has partnered with Citation Cyber, to introduce an enhanced level of rigour across the business. The result is that Partners& is now well-positioned to meet the needs of corporate clients for whom this is a requirement. It also equips Partners& to deal with sensitive personal data, building a platform for accelerated growth in the wellbeing, health and protection part of its business.
According to Swati Chopra, Chief Information Officer, “At the beginning of this financial year, we set a goal to elevate our current cybersecurity measures by striving for Cyber Essentials Plus certification. With so much evidence pointing to the likelihood of a company experiencing a data breach, addressing our security environment has become a strategic priority.
“We initiated the project in early April, which involved conducting onsite, internal, and external vulnerability tests on our systems to assess the level of risk. The evaluation process included a thorough examination of our infrastructure, aiming to identify potential security incidents and provide actionable recommendations to mitigate them.
“I’m delighted with our collaboration with Citation Cyber, and what we have been able to achieve. Taking such a proactive approach really enhances our resilience as a business.”
“In addition, having been through the experience ourselves, and as a leading player in advising clients in relation to their cyber security risks, we are better able to advise our clients on the cyber risks they face.”
