What does Cyber Essentials certification prove about a provider's cyber security?

Cyber Essentials is a UK Government backed certification confirming an organisation has basic controls, access control, malware protection, patch management, secure configuration and boundary firewalls, in place to defend against common internet-based attacks. Transalis holds this certification, which means customers and partners can trust that fundamental safeguards protect the systems used to exchange their trading and invoicing data.

Transalis earns government stamp of approval with cyber security award

Transalis has further enhanced its cyber security credentials by winning certification from the Cyber Essentials scheme.

The Cyber Essentials programme, backed by the UK Government, outlines the steps organisations need to take to ensure they can defend themselves against the vast majority of internet-based attacks.

Organisations need to satisfy basic controls to achieve certification. When these are properly implemented, they help to protect against unskilled internet-based attackers using commodity capabilities, which are freely available on the internet.

The Cyber Essentials controls are:

  • Access control
  • Malware protection
  • Patch management Boundary firewalls and internet gateways
  • Secure configuration

Ioannis Chrysanthou, Infrastructure Manager for Transalis said, “This certification demonstrates to our customers and partners that we take cyber security seriously. By successfully completing the Cyber Essentials assessment we can now demonstrate we have taken the steps to be fundamentally cyber safe.”

Frequently asked questions

What specific security controls does Cyber Essentials require?

Cyber Essentials certification requires organisations to satisfy five basic control areas: access control, malware protection, patch management, boundary firewalls and internet gateways, and secure configuration. Together these controls are designed to protect systems against the vast majority of common internet-based attacks, particularly those from unskilled attackers using freely available commodity tools rather than targeted, sophisticated threats.

What kind of threats does Cyber Essentials protect against?

The scheme is aimed at unskilled, opportunistic attackers who use commodity capabilities, freely available tools and techniques rather than custom-built exploits, to target internet-facing systems. By implementing the five required control areas, an organisation can defend against the vast majority of these common attacks, though the scheme is not designed to stop highly sophisticated, targeted attacks from advanced threat actors.

Why does a provider's Cyber Essentials certification matter to trading partners?

It gives customers and partners independent, government backed assurance that basic cyber security controls are properly implemented across the provider's systems. For businesses exchanging invoices, orders and other trading documents electronically, that matters because it shows the platform carrying sensitive business data has taken concrete, verifiable steps to be fundamentally cyber safe, rather than simply claiming to be secure.
