Lea Hough Chartered Surveyors is proud to announce that we have successfully achieved Cyber Essentials certification. This UK government-backed accreditation recognises organisations that have put in place basic but effective cyber security measures to protect against a wide range of the most common online threats.
Cyber Essentials is a scheme overseen by the National Cyber Security Centre and administered by the IASME Consortium. Its purpose is to help organisations of all sizes guard against cyber attacks by setting out a defined set of technical controls. These controls, when implemented properly, provide a solid foundation for a more secure IT environment.
The process of gaining Cyber Essentials certification involved a thorough self-assessment of our systems, policies and procedures, which was then reviewed by a qualified independent assessor. The certification confirms that we have taken the necessary steps to protect our data, systems, and infrastructure, and that we are committed to maintaining these standards moving forward.
This accreditation demonstrates Lea Hough’s proactive stance on cyber security and our commitment to keeping client information safe. In today’s digital world, safeguarding sensitive data is more important than ever, especially for organisations like ours that handle a large volume of confidential and personal information as part of our work.
Achieving Cyber Essentials provides reassurance when working with public sector clients, as the certification is often a requirement for government and local authority contracts.
Our team remains dedicated to protecting the integrity of our operations and providing clients with a reliable, trustworthy service. Cyber Essentials is just one part of our wider approach to risk management and professional responsibility.
