Total Systems Achieves Cyber Essentials Accreditation

At Total Systems, keeping our clients' data secure has always been a top priority. We're proud to announce that we have achieved Cyber Essentials accreditation, a government-backed scheme developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Cyber Essentials is designed to help businesses of all sizes protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. From phishing emails and malware to hacking attempts, the scheme outlines a clear framework for organisations to follow in strengthening their digital defences. Gaining this accreditation means we have been independently assessed and confirmed as meeting these vital standards.

For us, this recognition highlights the work we do behind the scenes every day to keep systems safe. For our clients, it provides extra reassurance that the data they share with us is handled responsibly and securely.

Cybercrime is a reality for all businesses today. Attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, so taking proactive steps to secure systems is essential. By aligning with the Cyber Essentials framework, we have put robust measures in place to protect against the most common risks.

The accreditation covers areas such as secure configuration, access control, malware protection, patch management and firewalls. These are the foundations of good cyber hygiene, and they are areas we continue to monitor and update to ensure we stay ahead of emerging threats.

Rhys Collins, Managing Director at Total Systems, commented:
"Our clients rely on us to safeguard their data, and this accreditation shows that we are serious about that responsibility. Achieving Cyber Essentials is a reflection of the hard work our team puts in every day to maintain high standards of security and resilience. We see this as an important milestone in our ongoing journey to keep our systems and our clients protected."

Achieving Cyber Essentials requires ongoing commitment and regular review to maintain compliance. For Total Systems, this milestone reinforces our long-term approach to client trust and data security.

We're pleased to add this achievement to our list and look forward to continuing to deliver software solutions with the confidence that our security measures are independently verified and nationally recognised.
