We’re proud to announce that Centiun has officially achieved Cyber Essentials certification, a nationally recognised standard for cyber security best practice in the UK. This milestone reinforces our commitment to protecting our clients, our systems and our data with strong, continually improving security controls.
As cyber threats evolve, organisations need partners they can trust—partners that prioritise security as much as innovation. With Cyber Essentials certification, our clients have additional assurance that Centiun meets the UK Government’s baseline standard for cyber security across our operations.
What Is Cyber Essentials and Why Does It Matter?
Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed, industry-supported scheme designed to help organisations safeguard themselves from common cyber threats. Certification verifies that we have the essential technical controls in place to prevent the vast majority of cyber-attacks.
This framework focuses on five key areas:
-
Firewalls and internet gateways
-
Secure configuration
-
User access control
-
Malware protection
-
Patch management and software updates
By achieving certification, Centiun has demonstrated that we take proactive, practical and effective measures to secure our environment.
What This Means for Our Clients
1. Increased Trust and Assurance
Clients can be confident that they are partnering with an organisation that not only prioritises cyber security but meets the standards set by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre.
2. Protection Against Common Threats
The controls validated through Cyber Essentials block a significant proportion of frequent attacks—reducing risk across shared projects, data exchanges and digital collaboration.
3. Stronger Foundations for Public Sector Engagement
Cyber Essentials is now a fundamental requirement for many UK public sector contracts. Our certification further strengthens our ability to support government, healthcare, education and councils.
4. Secure Delivery of Microsoft and Automation Services
Whether we are implementing Dynamics 365, building Power Platform solutions or deploying AI-enabled capabilities, our clients know that every engagement is delivered with robust security at its core.
5. A Culture of Continuous Improvement
Cyber Essentials is not a one-off milestone—it reflects our ongoing commitment to reviewing, improving and maintaining a secure operating environment as technologies and threats evolve.
A Commitment to Security in Everything We Do
Achieving Cyber Essentials certification is an important step in Centiun’s growth and our continued investment in excellence. Security isn’t something we treat as a checkbox—it’s embedded into our culture, our delivery frameworks, and every solution we design.
As we continue to help organisations modernise through Microsoft technologies, automation and AI, clients can trust that their projects are supported by strong, verified security practices.
