Why Our Cyber Essentials Plus Accreditation Matters to You

Cyber threats are a growing concern for businesses and individuals alike. The National Cyber Security Centre estimates that 7.7 million cyber crimes affected UK businesses last year—that’s nearly half of all businesses. We refuse to be part of that statistic.

How This Protects You

As a financial planning firm, we handle your sensitive personal data every day, and keeping it safe is our top priority. Our Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation means you can trust that your information is protected against cyber threats. Here’s how it safeguards you:

  • Your data is protected from malware – Our systems are secured against viruses, ransomware, and cyber threats.
  • We ensure secure system configurations – All devices and software are set up correctly to prevent security weaknesses.
  • Strict access controls keep your information private – Only authorised personnel can access sensitive data.
  • Regular updates eliminate security gaps – We continuously update our software and systems to remove vulnerabilities.
  • Your online interactions with us are secure – Firewalls and encrypted connections keep your data safe from unauthorised access.
