Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed and industry-supported scheme that helps businesses protect themselves against the growing threat of cyber attacks and provides a clear statement of the basic controls organisations should have in place to protect themselves.

It is the UK Government’s answer to a safer internet space for organisations of all sizes, across all sectors. Developed and operated by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), Cyber Essentials is considered the best first step to a more secure network.

At Hickory we annually renew our Cyber Essentials certification as a proactive stance against malicious cyber attacks. We believe that this certification demonstrates to our valued customers, suppliers, investors and insurers that we have taken the necessary precautions to protect our organisation against cyber threats.
