Our Cyber Essentials Certificate
+
+ +Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification scheme developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). +It establishes five core technical controls designed to prevent the most common cyber security threats. +According to NCSC, organisations with this certification are protected against approximately 80% of the most common +cyber attacks that they have observed. + +We've always had a strong focus on security (it's the S in SR2!) and have always maintained rigorous security practices +in our software development and infastructure hosting including external audits of application code and periodic +penetration testing of our infrastructure. These practices remain in place and will continue to provide project-specific +assurance. However, Cyber Essentials addresses something equally critical: the foundational security of our +organisation. + +While code audits and pentests examine specific systems and software, Cyber Essentials evaluates how we operate as an +organisation, covering five primary areas: + +* Boundary firewalls and internet gateways +* Secure configuration +* User access control +* Malware protection +* Patch management + +This certification ensures that the foundation upon which our technical work rests is equally secure. The organisations +we work with include free software projects, charities, non-profits, advocacy groups, and the media. +They often handle sensitive data related to vulnerable populations, campaign strategies, and confidential stakeholder +information. They need partners they can trust. + +For those partners operating with limited resources, knowing that their technology partners meet recognised security +standards removes one more concern from their already demanding work. + +If your organisation is looking for a technology partner that understands your mission and takes security seriously, +we'd welcome you to [get in touch](/contact). \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/hugo.toml b/hugo.toml index f97f75c..022ce39 100644 --- a/hugo.toml +++ b/hugo.toml @@ -70,6 +70,7 @@ NCAGE: U2G06''' {text = 'Git', icon = 'git-branch', href = 'https://guardianproject.dev/sr2'}, {text = 'Bluesky', icon = 'at-sign', href = 'https://bsky.app/profile/sr2.uk'}, {text = 'LinkedIn', icon = 'linkedin', href = 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/sr2uk/'}, + {logo = 'images/footer/essentials.png', href = "/cyber-essentials.pdf"}, ] [params.styles] diff --git a/layouts/_partials/home.html b/layouts/_partials/home.html index 0e24b83..79ad551 100644 --- a/layouts/_partials/home.html +++ b/layouts/_partials/home.html @@ -6,13 +6,6 @@
