We are thrilled to announce that the Mackman Group, along with our divisions; Mackman Research, Mackman Branding & Marketing Agency, and Red Kite HR Services, has successfully achieved Cyber Essentials certification.
At Mackman Group, robust data protection has always been a fundamental part of our operations. We have long adhered to stringent industry standards, including the Market Research Society (MRS) Code of Conduct, ESOMAR guidelines, ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) regulations, Fair Data principles, and ISO 20252 certification.
These frameworks have ensured that our processes meet the highest levels of compliance and accountability. The addition of Cyber Essentials certification builds on this solid foundation, providing further assurance to our clients and partners that we are proactively addressing modern cyber threats while maintaining the trusted and secure practices that are core to our work.
What is Cyber Essentials?
Cyber Essentials is a UK Government-backed certification that helps businesses protect themselves against the most common cyber threats. By achieving this certification, we have implemented a range of essential security measures designed to safeguard our systems and the data entrusted to us.
In today’s increasingly digital landscape, the protection of sensitive information is more important than ever. Cyber Essentials certification provides a clear signal that Mackman Group is dedicated to protecting data and proactively managing risks associated with cyberattacks.
What Does Cyber Essentials Certification Mean for Our Clients?
By achieving Cyber Essentials certification, Mackman Group can offer our clients peace of mind knowing that we take data security seriously and have robust measures in place to mitigate potential threats. Our certification ensures that:
- We have strengthened our IT infrastructure against the most common forms of cyberattacks.
- The sensitive data of our clients, including personal information and business insights, is better protected than ever before.
- We remain compliant with industry best practices, helping our clients meet their own security and compliance needs.
“Achieving Cyber Essentials certification provides independent verification of the robust processes and systems we’ve worked hard to establish over the past two decades. This milestone reinforces our commitment to cybersecurity, and we’re excited to build on this foundation as we pursue the next level of certification.” Paul Mackman, Managing Director
Our Commitment to Ongoing Security
At the Mackman Group, we recognise that cybersecurity is not a one-time achievement but an ongoing responsibility. Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is just the beginning. Our next goal is to obtain Cyber Essentials Plus certification, a rigorous standard that will further enhance our security measures. This process will involve regular updates to our practices, continuous risk assessments, and vigilance against emerging threats. We believe the security of our clients’ data is paramount and we’re committed to protecting their interests at every step.
