Zenzero Solutions announce they have been awarded the ‘Cyber Essentials’ certification.

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed, industry supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against common cyber-attacks.

Ken Baxter, Managing Director at Zenzero says, “The scheme outlines basic cyber security measures that all types of organisations can implement and potentially build upon. By ensuring these basic elements are applied, an organisation can significantly reduce its vulnerability to cyber-attacks.”

Zenzero are working in partnership with Risk Evolves – a risk evaluation and management company, to give customers affordable and additional support in achieving the Cyber Essentials accreditations. Risk Evolves provides businesses with guidance through the certification process, as well as training and education for their staff. Zenzero also worked with Risk Evolves to get through the Cyber Essentials certification process themselves.

Helen Barge, Managing Director at Risk Evolves explains, “We are really excited to be working with Zenzero to help businesses be more cyber aware, and moreover protect and prepare themselves for the future. It was great working with them to achieve their Cyber Essentials certificate – they were one of the very first organisations to go through the new question set, and they passed with flying colours.”

Ken adds, “We provide IT managed services and support for over 130 different organisations, across a multitude of sectors. We are responsible for advising our customers on how to defend their businesses from cyber criminals, so it was an obvious choice for us to do the certification. By holding this accreditation, we are walking the walk, not just talking the talk.”
