Azzurri, an independent provider of cloud and managed communications services in the UK, has announced that it has been awarded the Government’s new enhanced cyber security accreditation, Cyber Essentials Plus.
The addition of Cyber Essentials Plus has strengthened Azzurri’s ICON managed communications services, delivered using systems and processes that are optimised to protect their data and their networks
Chris Jagusz, CEO of Azzurri Communications said: "Azzurri has always taken the security of its customers’ data very seriously. By adding Cyber Essentials Plus to our already strong security credentials, this should further reinforce our commitment to all our customers, be they in the public or private sectors."
Cyber Essentials Plus is a more advanced accreditation than the two-tier Cyber Essentials Scheme launched by the UK government in mid 2014.
The highest level of accreditation available, the awarding of the standard comes after 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.
Azzurri’s managed service capability already adheres to ISO 9000 and ISO 27001 standards.
Azzurri currently provides services to public sector organisations such as the Department for Transport, the Competition & Markets Authority and several councils as well as private sector organisations including Severn Trent Water and Bourne Leisure.
