At LPPA, we work hard to keep your personal data safe and secure. So, we’re pleased to announce that we have achieved a new certificate for our cyber security – fittingly, just ahead of Data Protection Day tomorrow (Saturday, 28 January).
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme that’s been set up to protect UK businesses, like us, from cyberattacks. We’ve been certified with Cyber Essentials Plus – a step up from Cyber Essentials, which includes an independent technical audit of the cyber security we use.
Accreditations like this emphasise our commitment to cyber security and the importance of keeping data well-protected.
The audit covered five key areas, including:
- Controlled data access – such as using authentication processes to stop scammers accessing personal data.
- Secure internet connection – such as using firewalls to protect us from hackers.
- Strong virus protection – such as using software to stop us from receiving scam emails.
- Unshakable devices – such as data protection features to stop malicious attacks on our computers.
- Latest software – such as regularly updating software to keep our systems safe and secure.
