Cyber Essentials is a must for 'security conscientious companies'

Cyber Essentials is a UK government scheme that highlights security issues from internet-based threats and creates a trusted standard. Strident is very proactive in IT security and many of the actions required by Cyber Essentials are frequently carry out for our customers, which enables customers like Aspect Contracts to meet the requirements with ease.

"Strident has always advised us in a very professional manner and guided us seamlessly through many certification challenges in the past, so going for Cyber Essentials was a complete no-brainer!" explains Andy Smith, Group Operations IT Manager at Aspect Contracts.

Given the high standard of security already in place under Strident's guidance, only some minor changes to the company's router settings were required to enable Aspect Contacts to be certified.

Andy believes CE certification improves their credibility with customers and suppliers. "Many of the businesses we work with prefer to partner with security conscientious companies and and the CE certification allows us to go the extra mile with Information Security regulations."
