Azzurri adds to its cyber security credentials
January 2015 by Marc Jacob
Azzurri Communications, the UK’s independent
provider of cloud and managed communication services, has today announced that it
has been awarded the Government’s new enhanced cyber security accreditation, Cyber
Essentials Plus. By adding Cyber Essentials Plus to the company’s already strong
security credentials and endorsements, customers can be assured that Azzurri’s ICON
managed communications services are delivered using systems and processes that are
optimised to protect their data and their networks.
Cyber Essentials Plus is the more advanced of the two-tier Cyber Essentials Scheme
launched by the UK government in mid 2014. By achieving this highest level of
available accreditation, Azzurri’s systems and processes were analysed and tested by
a team of independent auditors - with a 100% pass rate required to meet the demands
of the top-tier. This latest accreditation is an external validation of Azzurri’s
trusted managed service capability which already includes adherence to ISO 9000 and
ISO 27001 standards. It will further add to Azzurri’s credibility when providing
services to the public sector with cyber security so high on the agenda of all
organisations following the high-profile breaches and attacks of 2014. It is also
highly regarded in the private sector.
Azzurri currently provides services to public sector organisations such as the
Department for Transport, the Competition & Markets Authority, University
College London Hospitals and many local government organisations including Durham
County Council, Wiltshire and Cornwall Councils. Azzurri also supports private
sector organisations including Severn Trent Water and Bourne Leisure.
