We’re proud to announce that Conformedia has achieved Cyber Essentials Plus certification.

What Is Cyber Essentials Plus?
Â
Cyber Essentials Plus is a UK government-backed certification that builds upon the Cyber Essentials scheme. While Cyber Essentials is a self-assessed standard, Cyber Essentials Plus includes a rigorous technical audit conducted by an independent assessor. It tests real-world resilience against a variety of cyber threats, including vulnerability scanning, email and web-based attacks, and malware protection.
Why This Matters
For our clients, this certification offers further assurance that Conformedia practices what it preaches. It proves that we don’t just support others in reaching these standards, we maintain them ourselves.
Our systems have been independently tested and verified to be secure against common cyber threats.
Clients can feel confident that their data is handled by a provider who meets the highest cybersecurity standards.
We remain at the forefront of helping businesses secure their operations

The recent cyber breach is a wake up call for businesses to strengthen security measures
The recent cyber incident affecting M&S serves as a stark reminder that even the most well-resourced, large-scale organisations are not immune to cybercriminals. This breach underscores the disconnect between our perception of cyber resilience and the harsh realities organisations face. It's a humbling wake-up call that cybersecurity is an ongoing challenge for everyone.
For smaller businesses, the concept of cybersecurity can feel overwhelming. With limited resources and technical expertise, it’s easy to feel deterred from acting. But don’t let that stop you from protecting your business.
Here are some simple yet effective actions to help secure your business and protect your people:
Ensure all devices, including laptops, phones, and tablets, are protected with strong passwords, encryption, and up-to-date security software.
Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all email accounts and be vigilant about phishing attempts.
Keep all operating systems and applications up to date. Ensure patches and security updates are applied to fix vulnerabilities.
Create complex and unique passwords for all accounts and consider using a password manager to keep track of them securely.
Regularly educate your team about cybersecurity best practices, such as recognising phishing emails, avoiding suspicious links, and creating strong passwords.
Ensure regular backups of critical business data, both on-site and off-site, to safeguard against ransomware and data loss.
Regularly monitor your systems for unusual activity and conduct periodic security audits to identify potential weaknesses.
Have a clear, well-documented incident response plan in place. Being prepared is essential to respond quickly and effectively in case of a breach.
Regularly test your disaster recovery plan.
The key is to start small, take proactive steps, and gradually build a robust cybersecurity framework. It’s never too early to begin. If you need help and advice, then please get in touch with the team at Conformedia.
