Continuous Cyber Essentials & CE Plus Compliance
Global Industrial Services
Securing competitive tenders, especially government contracts, is essential for this client's growth, making Cyber Essentials certification vital for its operations in the UK. Data Connect assists the business in maintaining compliance year-round through its vSOC CERT service.
**Challenge:** The company, with over 800 employees in the UK, recognizes the importance of keeping its Cyber Essentials certification current. However, this task can be quite challenging due to the constantly evolving landscape of digital security. The client needed to ensure that all critical areas were adequately covered to maintain certification.
**Solution:** This is where vSOC CERT Gold+ plays a key role. The platform offers an improved overview of the network, enabling proactive management of any vulnerabilities as they emerge, instead of addressing a buildup of issues later on. This approach has ensured ongoing compliance with the security standards required for Cyber Essentials certification.
**Results:** With the assistance of Data Connect, the client's IT support engineer and their team successfully renewed the Cyber Essentials Plus certification, granting them continued access to valuable new contract opportunities. The engineer stated, "Collaborating with Data Connect and utilizing vSOC CERT, along with the vSOC Connect Console, is essential for our Cyber Essentials certification process. Without this certification, we cannot participate in specific projects. Data Connect gives us the clarity we need to ensure that we are addressing all necessary requirements to renew our Cyber Essentials certification, year after year."
