Cyber Essentials

At Midland Bright Steels, we take the security of our customers’ information as seriously as the quality of our steel. We are proud to be Cyber Essentials certified, a UK Government-backed scheme that demonstrates our commitment to protecting our systems, our data and the information our customers entrust to us.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification, delivered through the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), that sets out the essential technical controls every organisation should have in place to defend against the most common online threats. Certification is independently assessed, so customers can be confident that our security measures have been verified and are not simply self-declared.

What this means for our customers

Our certification gives you added reassurance in the following areas:

• Secure handling of orders, enquiries, specifications and customer data
• Protection against the most common cyber threats, including phishing, malware and unauthorised access
• Firewalls and secure configuration applied across our systems and devices
• Access to systems and information restricted to the people who need it
• Software kept up to date, with regular patching of known vulnerabilities
• Malware protection in place across our business
• A team that understands its part in keeping information safe

Our commitment

Cyber Essentials sits alongside our ISO 9001:2015 registration as part of a wider commitment to doing things properly. Just as our quality management system gives you confidence in the products we supply, our Cyber Essentials certification gives you confidence in how we protect your information and keep our operations running without disruption. We review our controls regularly and renew our certification each year, so our standards stay current as threats change.
