Cyber Essentials accreditation

Q3 has successfully passed the first step in the Cyber Essentials accreditation programme

Cyber essentials certified plus

Q3 has been working with partners Active Workspace and CS Risk Management on our cyber security strategy and we are pleased to announce that we have been successful in achieving Cyber Essentials accreditation.

The Government instigated the Cyber Essentials scheme in 2014 to provide SMEs with a framework that organisations could use to protect themselves against common online security threats.

Having achieved this level, we are already working on the next stage – Cyber Essentials Plus, which involves third-party auditing of our processes and procedures.

This is a great achievement for our business, providing peace of mind in our day-to-day activities and online interaction with out clients.
