Why did GDL need Cyber Essentials?
To expand into the UK market, GDL needed the Cyber Essentials certification. This certification is crucial, as no business can afford to ignore the risks associated with poor cyber safety. Being certified not only opens new market opportunities but also enhances trust with clients by demonstrating a commitment to robust cybersecurity practices.
SOTS provided expert guidance throughout the certification process, helping GDL understand and implement the necessary measures to meet the standards.
Why did GDL upgrade from standard to plus?
GDL upgraded from Cyber Essentials Standard to Cyber Essentials Plus certification to enhance their cybersecurity measures. This advanced certification involves a thorough independent audit, ensuring that security protocols are not only in place but also effective.
By achieving Cyber Essentials Plus, GDL demonstrates their commitment to safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the highest standards of protection, which is crucial in today’s environment of increasing cyber threats.
SOTS played a key role in this transition, conducting the assessments and providing comprehensive support to ensure GDL’s systems were secure and compliant. This upgrade also reassures clients and partners of GDL’s dedication to secure and reliable operations.
