Keeping you in safe hands
We are proud to announce that The Juniper Co. has been awarded Cyber Essentials certification, a government-backed scheme designed to protect businesses from the most common cyber threats. Achieving this certification underscores our unwavering commitment to offering the best possible service to our clients.
Cyber Essentials is vital in today’s digital world as cyber-attacks become more frequent and sophisticated. The certification process helps organisations, regardless of size, to safeguard themselves against common threats like malware, phishing, and hacking attempts. With the increase in remote working and cloud-based solutions, implementing strong cybersecurity measures is crucial to maintain the integrity of sensitive data.
By earning this certification, we’ve implemented or upgraded five essential technical controls: firewalls, secure configuration, access control, malware protection, and timely software updates. These steps significantly reduce our vulnerability to potential attacks, giving our clients confidence that we are actively protecting their information. It’s about being proactive in security, reducing risks, and ensuring that our cyber protection is current.
We recently featured the phrase, 'explore, not ignore' as our monthly snippet of inspiration at The Juniper Co. and cyber security is certainly one of those subjects where that wisdom can be applied.
"It was something that I had put in the ‘too difficult’ and ‘not my area of expertise’ pile," admits Juniper Managing Director, Nicki Kavanagh. "It felt daunting at first, but collaborating with our dedicated IT support team made all the difference. They transformed ‘too difficult’ into ‘this is possible,’ breaking down each step and guiding us through the process with confidence.
"From filling out the detailed questionnaire to explaining what to expect, they took on the complexities and made it accessible. This achievement reflects not only our commitment to cybersecurity but also the strength of teamwork and collaboration at The Juniper Co.”
The certification not only reassures our clients that their data is in safe hands but also ensures we are well-positioned for future growth and compliance with evolving cyber regulations. As the threat landscape evolves, we remain committed to continuous improvement and adapting to new challenges in the digital age.
