OUR ACCREDITATIONS
Fitzrovia IT is ISO 9001, 14001, 22301, 27001 and 45001 certified, a Microsoft Solutions Partner for all 6 designations (Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, Infrastructure, Business Applications, Modern Work, and Security. ), a Cyber Essentials Certification Body and Assessor, an IASME Cyber Assurance Level 1 and 2 certifier, a Defence Cyber Certification Body (Level 0 and 1) and Investors in People Gold accredited.
What Is Cyber Essentials Certification?
Cyber Essentials checks that an organisation has five technical controls in place: firewalls, secure configuration, security update management, user access control and malware protection. Together, these stop most everyday internet-based attacks.
You answer a self-assessment questionnaire covering the devices, software, cloud services and networks in scope, and a Certification Body verifies it. Certification lasts 12 months. Many organisations need it to win contracts, including some government work, and it is a recognised first step in proving your security to customers.
