CMCA(UK) Implement Cyber Essentials Scheme

 

Earlier this year Central Management Catalogue Agency (UK) Limited became fully certified to the Cyber Essentials Scheme, helping us to execute appropriate protection against cyber-attack and demonstrating to our customers that we take cyber security very seriously. Developed by Government and industry to provide a clear statement of the basic controls all organisations should implement to mitigate the risk from common internet based threats. The scheme also provides an Assurance Framework which offers a mechanism for organisations to demonstrate to customers, investors, insurers and others that they have taken these essential precautions. In short the Cyber Essential Scheme offers ‘a sound foundation of basic hygiene measures that all types of organisations can implement and potentially build upon.’ By implementing the scheme businesses will protect their information assets from almost 80% of Cyber threats.

Since 1 October 2014, Cyber Essentials became a minimum requirement for bidding on certain government contracts. CMCA(UK) is therefore very pleased to be able to confirm that we can provide a secure facility relating to our scope of supply. As CMCA(UK) is the only UK Contractor able to provide Codification services associated with UK NCB for the MoD, and as a business providing extensive experience and knowledge regarding our Obsolescence Monitoring support and specialist Procurement Service activities, we take security very seriously and are very proud of the fact that we can provide this certified assurance to all of our customers.
