At Cisilion, one of our highest priorities is ensuring the security and resilience of our customers’ IT systems. To achieve this, we are steadfast in maintaining the highest standards of our own internal security.
Cisilion is proud to hold the Cyber Essentials Assurance certification, demonstrating our commitment to robust cyber security standards across our organisation. This government-backed accreditation confirms that our ICT defences have been independently assessed and found satisfactory against commodity-based cyber attacks, giving clients and partners confidence in our ability to safeguard sensitive data and maintain compliance.
What is Cyber Essentials Assurance?
Cyber Essentials Assurance is a recognised certification scheme that sets out the key controls organisations must have in place to protect against common cyber threats. It is widely accepted across both public and private sectors as a benchmark for good security practice, and is often a mandatory requirement for working with government bodies and large enterprises.
Why Does It Matter?
- Client trust: The certificate strengthens our credibility with clients and partners who expect proven security standards.
- Compliance: It demonstrates our ability to maintain compliance and safeguard sensitive information.
- Business enablement: Certification supports our bids and renewals where security accreditation is a pre-requisite.
- Continuous improvement: It underpins our wider ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus frameworks, helping us remain audit-ready and trusted.
The certificate confirms that, at the time of testing, our ICT defences were assessed as satisfactory against commodity-based cyber attacks. While no certification can guarantee future protection, it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to maintaining strong security controls.
