Airsweb Security Credentials Bolstered with Cyber Essentials Certification

Leading EHS provider Airsweb are proud to announce they have achieved the Cyber Essentials Accreditation.

Cyber Essentials is part of the UK Government backed scheme to help businesses protect themselves against the most common cyber-attacks. The set of baseline technical controls addresses these threats to be:

• Hacking - exploiting known vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices, using widely available tools
• Phishing - and other ways of tricking users into installing or executing a malicious application
• Password guessing - manual or automated attempts to log on from the Internet by guessing passwords.

The Cyber Essentials scheme involves a self-assessment questionnaire which is then put to the test by an external vulnerability assessment conducted by an accredited Certification Body.

Impressive Security Set-Up

For Airsweb, Cyber Essentials enhances their existing security credentials. Airsweb hold an existing UKAS-accredited ISO 27001:2013 certification – the internationally recognised standard for information security management systems - which it has held since 2014.

But it doesn’t stop there. In many areas, Airsweb go above and beyond the requirements for both Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001:2013.

Partnering with leading hosting and security partners at organisations like Rackspace, AWS, Azure, Alert Logic, Cloudflare and Symantec, Airsweb employ security technologies including:

• Enterprise-class Web Application Firewall (WAF)
• 24x7x365 Managed Threat Detection and Response
• Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and Vulnerability Management
• Log Management and Review
• Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

To name but a few.

Commenting on the latest security certification, Airsweb Technology Director Neil Harrison said, 

“Cyber Essentials certification gives us and our customers peace of mind that our defences will protect us from the cyber-attacks that seek targets which do not have the Cyber Essentials technical controls in place. The scheme gives any organisation a solid base on which it can build its cyber security as appropriate.”
